It really was a hot topic
for the media (or rather the folk) for a few days the BBC documentary ‘India’s
Daughter’; wasn’t it? Some were angry about the ‘Indian culture’, some towards
’Indian Govt.’, ‘BBC for generalizing a psycho’s opinion as a nation’s culture’
also ‘for projecting it as India’s problem whereas UK itself has more crime
rate towards females’ so on… and now everyone forgot it as a dream
[For
those who haven’t come across the documentary; search for 'India's Daughter-BBC
documentary' ]
I’m angry with the
advocate because; how could an educated person
like him say so?!
Why not?! Why one’s
education would stops him from his opinion or attitude?
But the thing is how
could an educated person think like there is nothing wrong with the inequality
and moreover it is our culture! Even school children know that inequality is
wrong…
Why would education bring
him back from his beliefs/ cultural biasing?
Then what is the
purpose of education?! Here he sticks to his belief even after all these
education…Don’t you see how education changes one’s belief to an enquiring
attitude?
Yes I do; but to what
extend?
Let me ask you a few
questions… do you believe in the Theory of Evolution? Why?
Yes, because we have
a lot of evidences for example fossils which validates the theory…
But did you notice that
there are plenty of ecology students in our institution itself, who publish
research papers on the validity of theory of evolution but believe that God is
the reason for whatever happens?
Yes, so?
We know the equation of
motion for a rocket to be launched still why do the scientists go to church or
temple before they launch it?
Though I believe in
evolution I don’t deny the existence of God because there should’ve been something
to get evolved… where did it came from?
See, they don’t even
believe in theory of evolution but you do; whereas both of you know there are
scientifically valid results like fossils as you mentioned earlier.
Would you be saying the
same reasoning if you never have been exposed to the concept God?
I don’t know…
Doubter : To what extend rationality can
replace an individual’s belief by education?
