People having degrees from top universities, at times, have a habit of Flaunting and boasting about their Degrees at every opportunity.
Besides the above, they also look down upon others and think that they are experts on everything under the sky, little realisng that Gulzar, Amitabh, Javed Akhtar, Kumar Vishwas, Shabana Azmi, Charles Correa, Captain B. H. Liddell Hart, Sun Tzu, etc also were highly intelligent people who have made a mark in their respective fields.
What has IIT Degree got to do with Administration. At IIT , one learns Engineering and not Administration, History , Psychology, Geology, Law etc. Secondly, Degree does not make anyone a better and a Skilled human being.
Kejriwal's attack on Mr Modi's Degree smacked of this typical arrogance and as a result, he missed the real issue.
Hence, Judiciary rightfully snubbed him.
However, in my opinion the issue is not the PM's Degree, but whether that Degree is genuine or fake.
A Govt official can be sacked for submitting fake educational certificates and in armed forces he can be court martialed.
Private Companies hire Intelligence agencies to check the veracity of certificates submitted by an employee.
Whether the PM is a Graduate or even 12th pass should not be a cause of concern, the concern should be WHETHER the documents submitted by him are Genuine or Not.
If those Degrees are fake then it speaks volumes about the INTEGRITY of a man.
I am sure some day all this shall come out, the more they stuff their secrets in a cupboard, higher are the chances that some day this cupboard will burst open and its contents will tumble out.
How would the generations to come would look at Mr Modi then ?
Notwithstanding the above, this whole episode is also is a reflection of our Obsession with Degrees.
The Day we as a society give up our obsession for Degrees and focus on SKILLS we would be able to redesign our system in such a manner where SKILLS would matter and not the Degrees.
It is primarily this reason why we can not produce men like Bill Gates, Ford, Mark Zuckerberg, Michelangelo, Steve Jobs.
If we can have one of the finest artists world has known without acquiring Degrees then we can produce Technocrats also without the big Degrees.
