शिक्षा, अर्थ व्यवस्था और स्वतन्त्रता (२/२)
आर्थिक क्षेत्र के हर मोड़ के साथ शिक्षा का मोड़ साथ साथ चलता है और इसका सबसे घातक असर हमारे मूल्यों के ह्रास में दिखाई देता है; हमारे नैतिक पतन में दिखाई पड़ता है और किसी भी तरह से पैसा कमाने वाली प्रवृत्तियों को प्रोत्साहन मिलने में दिखाई पड़ता है। यदि सट्टा और जुआ खेलना…

शिक्षा, अर्थ व्यवस्था और स्वतन्त्रता (१/२)
मैं समझता हूँ कि शिक्षा और अर्थ व्यवस्था के संबंध को पूरी तरह से समझना बहुत ज़रूरी है न कि सिर्फ़शिक्षक या शिक्षाविदों के लिए, लेकिन हम सबके लिए भी। ‘अर्थ व्यवस्था’ शब्दों से मैं शिक्षा के नाम पर होरही व्यापार या बिसनेस की बात नहीं कर रहा; मगर मैं उम्मीद करता हूँ, कि जब…

Black Money, White Economics
I sometimes wonder about the colour coding of currency: why legitimate money is ‘white’ money and illegitimately acquired money is ‘black’ money, even though we Indians are legitimately brown and black, and the colonizing chaps who came here as thieves and robbers were ‘white’!

Atma-nirbharta, the Local way
There is an alternate voice in this country, and in other parts of the world, which questions the assumptions and systems of modern globalised society. This voice has been speaking for a long time in favour of the local and of strengthening the local community.

We need Wisdom, not Civilisation
Many years ago, at a village meeting in Garhwal, a colleague pulled out some pictures from typical garment advertisements and asked the audience what they could tell about the men in the pictures simply by looking at them.

The Soul of the Matter
It has been reported that Mahatma Gandhi was once asked, “What do you think of Western Civilization?”, to which he replied, “I think that would be a very good idea!” Beyond the obvious wit is a serious statement which is worthy of study.
