Flawed Education Breeds Negativity

In the aftermath of two big political revolutions in Nepal, one can hear the cacophony of harsh comments on the executive officials of various political institutions – as high as head of the federal government to as low as ward chairman of municipalities. No less adverse criticisms can be heard about the professionals of administrative and educational institutions. Not simply in interpersonal communications but in the pages of private electronic devices whose messages are public. One might retort this is all natural in the age of democracy where every citizen is supposed to enjoy freedom. But decent citizen is expected to possess the common sense knowledge of what is meant by freedom under democracy. It is ridiculous to argue that democracy means a system with unchecked freedom, which on the contrary, has been a common practice in this country of yet infant democracy.
