A shame!

Its a shame, this is what the nation does to its most treasured and impressive system of education. Although, the newspaper I quote here is one that I find among the least reliable ones for the true perspective ,I read it for other reasons ( ;-) ) ! These however, still highlight what the goverment and even the IIT management themselves are upto, and it sucks!

Politcising the 'premier institutes of technical education' is just as egregious a violation of sustaineable development as any. And, I say that not because I am fortunate enough to have studied at one of the IITs, but because it is very apparent how obnoxiously close these measures are to the country going to early assembly polls. And ya, btw, the country might lose sucha fantastic goverment for reasons like : The CPI (read Chinese Party in India) is very upset over India's strong strategic deal with the US, and the aam aadmi (the unsatisfiable) is upset over inflation which is derived from OPEC controlled forces.
Its a pity. Its a shame.

I'm glad, something motivated me to come back to the blogosphere!
Hope to follow it up with much more about Delhi, its tome-like huge newspapers (full with no information at all), the Delhi metro, the Taj! , Chadni chowk and my romantics with the french language!
Au revoir!
