Passage 2

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

Seeing this state of things, the police come in and close the institutions down. That such violence should take place in institutions of learning, which are the abode of Sarasvatī, is against their nature. Those who would find its cause are in confusion. What the right remedy may be has become a very tangled question. Unable to find the true cause, the authorities devise many kinds of strategy to meet it. The parents who bore and raised the children are responsible for this. The teachers, who are there to help the Buddhi unfold, are a cause of it. That the management, too, do not see what is right and act on it is the fault of the management. That the rulers do not rightly understand the position of this institution's management, that they delay, and that they do not settle the matter in time, is the fault of the government. The fault lies also with the writers, who could strengthen moral and spiritual character. Above all, the root cause is that each one does not rightly recognise his own responsibility. The root causes of all these problems that have arisen in the institutions of learning are the parents, the teachers, the management, the government and the writers.

Increasing cleverness must not be the aim of education

Thirty-nine years after independence, the people of Bhārata still follow the system the British began and cannot turn it onto the right path. Even to this day the people of Bhārata cannot see the truth of why the British set up this system. Before this system of education was begun, Macaulay took a vow. He nursed the belief that the system the British set up would enter the very flesh and blood and the feelings of the people of Bhārata and make them British.
