Ruling class people in independent India have in their mental core a wish to rule the people forever, for which they sow seeds of beggary in minds of children of common people by providing them freeships of various kinds like Mid-day Meal, Free Books, Free School Uniform, Stipend, etc. Thus, label of poverty and backwardness is permanently pasted on their foreheads which they carry for their whole lives. Such children on growing up seek survival aids from the Government without working and earning their livelihoods on their own. This is the cause of perpetual backwardness of India, as compared to other Nations of the World. People need to change this mindset of the ruling class as well as of their own.
Ruling class people argue that they provide these facilities to children because their parents can't afford sending their children to schools. My question to them is, "Who has kept the parents mentally and physically so poor that they produce children but can't afford their schooling?" Surely, it is none other than people of the ruling class of independent India. When I was in School in 50s, there were no freeships except some stipend to backward class students. Those students of Backward classes didn't cross Matriculation and their later generations are still backward and keep on looking for doles from the Government, while others did much better. This was not to the liking of the Ruling class, hence they introduced multiple freeships to all the students of Government-run Primary and Higher Secondary Schools, ensuring that none would cross boundary of poverty and backwardness. Other children going to private Schools and paying fees for getting education have been performing much better.
In 70 years of independent India, there should have been none in the country to produce a child and unable to take care of needs of the child. Governments should have seriously pursued two-edge strategy of controlling population and providing work for each pair of capable hands to earn enough for upbringing their children well. But this has never been the intention of ruling people of independent India.
