Progress Without Education Is an Illusion

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 themselves about what is right and wrong, and live life on their own terms.

They will become independent.

Can There Be Real Progress Without Education?

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.
