But I want to open your eyes.

Please have a look at your childs high school year book.

If your kids are small or grown up please borrow your neighbour kids high school year book.

Just count the number of students in each school and then start counting the number of Desi students in high school.

Please find the percentage.

Also if you are in GTA, please read the names and make a separate count of the Desi students by their names.

Please find the percentage again.

I promise you that you are in for a big JOLT.

Welcome to CANADA.

The fact is that thosands of the students leave India EVERY year to pursue studies in USA and Australia because they know that Indian education is useless in practical world and here he is posting some nonsense with "white" faces in the pictures.

The primary and main reason of Indian students going to USA/Australia/Canada is to get the immigration easily. If someone want to compare the education standard, just check out the course contents of any grade of India and Canada/Australia/USA. Any average student from India can easily score top marks here in Canada but its not true the other way.

Then why is India not a better place to live in compared to Canada? I would think that better education leads to better living..........or is there a flaw in my thinking?

Enough with the population crap and excuses. Please check India's next door neighbour China if you wish to look at the Development in each sphere of life. Would you still say that population hinders the growth. It could have been an argument 20 years ago, but no more. Political system, population, lack of English skills notwithstanding, Chinese are progressing and deveping in leaps and bounds and at a pace no-one could match. Look at their highways, airports, downtown cores, etc. and then a little glance at it's neighboring Indian counterpart and you will have the answer.

Not everyone choses to be in a Science stream and aspire to become an Engineer, Doctor, IT Prof. etc. Please check out the poor curriculum of BAs, BComm stream in Indian Universities and then you will have the answer. You can't win with mere numbers, but quality also plays a big part. Here's a recent article you might be interested in (Indian Institute of Idiots):

It's no more about population guys. What's the fault of the population when you have to pay Rs. 300,000 donation for your kid's admission to any second rung private school? That's the education system for 90% Indian population. I would love (more than anyone) to see Indian education system touches new heights, not just IITs, IIMs, but even a regular state universities. But the fact is too crude than the fictitious world some people are living in.

it used to be funny earlier ... but its getting way too Repetitive now.

I must apologize for digressing - I am tempted to butt in, simply because there has been a comparison between India & China. I might be a little qualified to speak especially because I have lived both in India & China.

There are several similarities between India & China. The population is over a billion people, corruption is rampant in both countries, and there is a great disparity in the living standards of people (people are either very rich or very poor). Life has very little value in both countries (I witnessed several road accidents & the first to arrive was not the ambulance, but the police, and usually things are hushed up, depending on how rich and powerful the wrong doer is). Both countries are plagued by centuries of superstitions, As in India, there is a gender bias - most Chinese prefer male babies to girls, and this has resulted in a massive racket involving the kidnapping of male children. So much for the similarities!

Now for the difference. There are at-least 20 different ethnic groups in China who have their own traditions, festivals and culture. Each of these groups used to speak a different version of the Chinese language. Sometime in the 1950's, Mao Zedong made Putonghua or mandarin, the official and only Chinese to be used in the country. He believed that this would bring about uniformity, and cohesion among the various ethnic groups in China. This, for the most part solved the language issue for administrative purposes, in China. This is quite unlike India where each province uses a different language for administrative purposes.

Unlike India, the communist party in China has been in power, for over 60 years. There is no opposition party. The fact that there is no semblance of democracy in China, has had its supporters, as well as detractors. There are no opposition parties to conduct agitations, dharna's and rasta roko's. Thus the ruling party in China has been able to implement ruthlessly, what it believes is good for the country. Needless to say, human rights are non existent, and there is no mechanism to check the excesses of the ruling party.

There has been a lot of material development in China, but it has come with a big price tag. Pollution is a major problem. Health-care is not universal, as some believe, corruption is as rampant, (if not more) as in India. Population is still a major issue (but unlike India, the government has taken effective steps to slow population growth, and that is showing results).

The Chinese government stresses on universal education, and millions of Chinese learn English. So much so that in about 10 years, they would be ready to take on India, as the outsourcing Capital of the world.

As for the debate over whether the education system is the best in the world........ figures show that even today, thousands, if not millions, go abroad for higher education. If education in India was so highly valued and affordable, would these people not enroll in a college or university in India? Time to think? I guess so!
