NOTE :-

1. Present day education too much materialistic;

2. University degrees, PhD-s are useless, until and unless, no cordial relationship between teacher and student is absent;

3. Universities are fertile lands for the birth of rogues, in the name of students, and their foolish political organizations;

4. All Bharatiya political parties are rubbish, no sense of honesty, duty, character and responsibility towards the Nation and her People;

5. Children and students must be very careful, and concentrate in their education only;

6. The standard of teachers is very poor, no qualities for this noble profession, just selfish livelihood, no sense of duty towards student character development;

7. The education ministry is handled by party politics basis, and degraded by political disturbances.

8. Spiritual education is a must at schools and Universities;

9. Should be Bharatiya Sanatana Dharmam only;

10. Teaching of Scriptures and Srimad Bhagavad geeta is very essential;

11. Politics should be kept away, as Bharatiya texts deal with the mind and values, Muslims and Christians should follow;

12. Bharatiya texts never talk about Hinduism, or God, or any prophet; so Secularism is not disturbed.ULTIMATELY SECULARISM, DOES NOT MEAN TO PROHIBIT SANATANA DHARMAM OTHERWISE KNOWN AS HINDUISM

13. Secularism means all inclusive, free to practice any religion of one's preference, but without any prejudice;

14. SO THERE IS NO HARM IN FOLLOWING SANATANA DHARMAM, BECAUSE THE WHOLE WORLD EXISTS IN SANATANA DHARMAM  ONLY, NO QUESTION FROM ANY CORNER ....
