₹80,000 Salary, Can’t Name Flag Colors - Why Govt Education In India Is Doomed
A government teacher earns ₹80,000 a month — taxpayer money — but cannot even answer the most basic question: What are the colors of the indian flag?
This is not just one person’s ignorance. It is the reflection of a systematic rot where merit is buried in the name of social justice, accountability is absent, and hypocrisy rules the day.
The tragic irony? The very people who fight tooth and nail for these reserved posts in government schools would never send their own children to those schools. They know the truth: government schools are where dreams go to die.
This is not an accident. This is policy-driven decay. And here’s why India’s future is being smothered before it even begins.
1. ₹80,000 for Ignorance
How can a teacher earning more than most engineers and doctors not know the tricolour’s colors? That’s not ignorance — that’s criminal negligence of duty.
2. Merit Is Dead, Social Justice Is a Weapon
Recruitment is no longer about competence; it’s about checkboxes. Instead of quality, we worship quantity. The result? Classrooms filled with incompetent teachers, but empty of real education.
3. The Poor Pay the Highest Price
Forget caste for a second. The worst victims are the poor — Dalit, OBC, general category alike — who have no option but to send their kids to these government schools. Their dreams are strangled before they even begin.
4. Hypocrisy of the ‘Job-Grabbers’
The loudest voices demanding reserved government jobs are the very ones who refuse to send their own kids to government schools. They know the quality is rotten — but they block reforms anyway.
5. Government Schools: Graveyards of Ambition
While private schools push students to compete globally, government schools push students into a cycle of mediocrity. india cannot dream of a bright future when half its youth are trained by teachers who don’t know the basics.
6. No Accountability, No Reform
teachers are protected by unions, shielded by politics, and fattened by taxpayer money. Fail to teach? No problem. Fail to even know the basics? Still no problem. There are no consequences.
7. The Double Betrayal
First betrayal: killing merit by filling schools with incompetent teachers.
Second betrayal: condemning poor children to a life of poverty by denying them quality education.
8. Future of a Nation at Stake
If today’s children are taught by teachers who can’t even recall the national flag, tomorrow’s leaders will be blind to history, science, and progress. This isn’t just failure — it’s national sabotage.
👉 A country that treats teaching as a “job scheme” instead of a sacred duty is a country signing its own death warrant.
👉 Until merit is restored, accountability enforced, and hypocrisy dismantled, India’s poor youth will remain trapped — and our future doomed.
