When I read the story of Haldhar Nag from Orissa who was the recipient of the prestigious Padma Shri Award, Yet, his Bank Account almost NIL, & not enough money to even travel to Delhi to collect his award (and if that’s correct); I started wondering that, on one side, there’re naturally educated people alike Him who’re living penniless; whilst on the other hand, I’ve no idea what kind of entities becoming Rich or getting schooled with puffery degrees around World. Honestly! If any person’s literature is so strong, yet, his/her bank balance is almost NIL; then that reflects the evolutionary character of that Nation only. And giving people alike him 10k-25k a month as compensation, wouldn’t absolve the sins of any nation.
Now, why do you think US is under turmoil & even standing on the verge of civil war? Exactly because one of the same reasons happened therein too! And then came the likes of Forbes under 10, 20, 30, 40; or the Silicon Valley’s policies, to buttress the devolution! Together, they left no stone unturned to infuse AFIC (academic financial inferiority complexes) across world, that this whole corporate & government turmoil is an example of that, even the Padma Shri recipients or who qualifies or are even eligible for the same, live and die penniless & in distress. Further, on the other hand, there were several awards, be it Pulitzer or otherwise, were dispersed merely for the reason that whoever can shriek at the highest decibel against the right would be bestowed with the same.
This furthermore unfolds the evolution of Recruitment policies around World wherein the Academia-Corporate-Tuition Centers-Government Syndicate Members Nexus, end up making their own look alike, from Policy Makers to CEOs to VPs to Decision Makers to Executors; whereas staunch probable contenders of even the top awards alike Padma Shri, ends up living with merely 732 INR in their Bank Accounts.
What a fall of the evolution itself. And yes, another reason added in the Diary why the resurrection of the Species from scratch, is now more indispensable!
