Unschooled, she was taught by her mother !
by Bharat Kumar on Aug 30, 2016 04:06 PM

Even for kids who go to school, the mother at home is the teacher who checks the progress and helps the children through. That is the case in most Indian homes and Asian homes.

Given half a chance, every mother would like a child to grow smart and be playful. Unfortunately, the hierarchical and divisive systems make them desperate. Malavika's mother's experience at the NGO must have offered her the lessons of life - too valuable and transient to be wasted at schools.

The teachers at schools only crack the whip and students have to be tutored outside the school to pick up. Some mug-pots like chatur ramalingam of the famous movie, 'make' it riding on others. Is it any surprise that even meaningful Olympic attempts are so rare and intellectual property development non-existent? We produce glorious managers like Pichai, Nadella and Nooyi, but very rarely a Karmarkar (if someone knows and remembers him)

When a 'successful' father kicks in it gets worse. They take decisions which ends up in misery for their children. Because they try to correct their mistakes - they again learn wrong and teach wrong things.

Besides saving our face this Olympics, Malvika's mother MUST deserves a National Award for exemplary bravery against societal norms that has given her daughter a "Happy" life -- an example worth emulating!

knowledge base
by subir gupta on Aug 30, 2016 01:17 PM

The knowledge-base is the like passing on baton in a relay race. There is a need to pass on the knowledge for further progress. No matter if the knowledge is passed on to your near relatives but let the progress ongoing. Best of wishes for the success.

Great,
MIT is the best engineering Institute of world.
The selection itself is great achievement.
This indicates clearly that our screening process is inadequate in proper filtration of talent.
