I’m not an education specialist, so I may not be the
right person to comment deeply on this topic.
However, I would like to share what I’ve noticed over
the past few days.
If women remain uneducated, it suits men.
According to them, men should handle work outside,
while women should manage the home.
But if women become educated and aware, they will
start asking questions, demanding answers,
and claiming their rights.
They will start making their own life decisions, stop
depending on others, think for themeselves about what
is right and wrong, and live life on their own terms.
They will become independent.
This makes some men uncomfortable, as their dominance
begins to fade and women start standing equal to them.
That’s why, even today in this so-called developed society,
there are many people and communities who do not
want women to be highly educated.
Yes, you heard it right.
Even today, there are many people, communities, and
sections of society that still think this way.
That if women also become educated, independent, and
aware like them, then who will they rule over?
That is why women are educate only as much as is
considered ” necessary” – just enough to read and write.
They believe there is no need to educate women beyond
that.
There may be many different reasons behind this, but one
thing is certain- even today, there are many people who
are against girls receiving higher education.
And the ironic part is that the powerful people above them
also do not want them to be highly educated.
Because if people with this mindset become educated,
aware, and enlightened, they will stop being slaves to these
powerful elites and start living their lives freely and
independently.
If they become educated, who will remain slaves to those
powerful people?
Who will fight and create chaos on their orders?
Who will start riots in the name of caste when they tell
them to?
If poor become educated, who will shout slogans for
them?
Only when the poor remain uneducated and poor will they
continue to serve these people.
It’s almost like a life cycle.
Powerful people don’t let the poor get educated, because
if the poor become educated, they won’t work for them
anymore.
And the same poor people then don’t let their daughters
and daughter-in-laws get educated, because their mindset
was never changed- or never allowed to change.
They were never shown the real world. and those same
uneducated people repeat the same behavior with their own
daughters and daughters-in-law.
