Are Migrants culprits or Victims?

Migrants are made easy targets. After seeing the incidents which took place in Maharashtra, Assam and In Delhi. There are couple of questions which we should ask ourselves, Is it because they are soft corners of the society who can be attacked easily for political or personal reasons. Violence in Maharashtra had gone to such an extent that the thousands of migrants flee back to their native places. In Assam attack on migrants was more brutal almost 150 migrants have been killed over last two years. There are also attacks on bangaldeshi workers in Delhi.

Attack on migrants is mainly because of political, personal and security reasons. In Maharashtra, violence was erupted because of political reasons. Local political party MNS and other parties attacked migrants for grabbing jobs of local residents. But the reason was not that it was crystal clear that they wanted to show their political power. In Assam the attack was for personal reasons, because local residents believe that migration of people from neighboring states is threat to their jobs. In Delhi the attack on migrants is mainly because of security reasons, police attack them for any problems in the city as they are soft corners of the society.

Whenever there is increase in economic growth it automatically attracts skilled work force, when there is shortage of skilled people in that area it attracts people from other areas this leads to migration of people. In Mumbai which is the major city in the west and also because of its economic growth attracts lot of people from surrounding areas to the city to build their dreams. People from rural areas of Bihar are attracted to the city because there are lot of employment opportunities generated in construction and other industries.
As Delhi is hosting Common Wealth Games in 2010, and there is shortage of workers. It automatically attracted people from other areas and in this case it attracted people from Bangladesh. Migrants play a very important role in the economic growth of the country.

Migration management is not effective in our country. It encourages people with white collar and discourages poor and marginal people. Both of them should be treated equally. Individuals, millionaires and billionaires play a vital role in protecting migrants. Migrants are not the problem, but they are part of the solution.

Stress out of schools!!!!!

All the major political parties are said to meet to review the education system especially the primary education. Recent Study has show that school children are feeling the examination the pressure than ever before. R.K.Naryan, well known author is seen these days not endorsing for his book, but instead fighting against the education institution for encouraging students to carry heavy school bags.

Although the parliament has passed a bill saying that all the children should have free education at least till the age 14. As, standard of education in government schools is below par in with private education institutes. As parents always want to give their kids the best in the world and as their wards join the private education institutes where they do not get admission free of cost but only after paying a large amount of money. As parents are giving their kids best education they expect the best possible results which lead to parental pressure. As in graduation courses, the primary education syllabus are not reviewed periodically, which lead’s to reading of out dated topics. Though evaluation pattern has been changed by some of the education board’s helping the students, but most of the education boards are still using antique pattern for evaluating answer’s, which is a major concern for students.

Number of suicides is increasing sharply amongst students who have failed to meet the expectation in examinations. Many psychologists fell that sharp increase is mainly because of parental pressure. The media also plays a major role in this issues which covers this issues so closely and indirectly encourages other’s students to follow the same path. Recently, Madeleine Moon, U.K. Member of Parliament blasted the media for reporting more about suicide cults and also to said them to report which would lead to the productivity of the country.

Many education boards have changed the pattern helping the students for example - CBSE has increased the examination time by 10 minutes where the students will have more time to analyze the examination paper and there upon decide how they want to proceed. Movies are great form of mass media where they can reach a lot of people and convey message. Aamir Khan, top Bolloywood actor in his recent movie famously known as TZMP provided a solution to this problem in a very creative form.
In the movie he says that every child is special and has some talent is hidden in him, It is the responsibility of the parent to find the talent and encourage it.

Finally, As many efforts are made to help the students not to feel the pressure. Students should plan, study well and not to fall in prey of parental pressure.
