Compulsions and
shunning both are wrong.
While
it is good but I think this is not the way to go about it.
Nothing
should be made compulsory or deliberately shunned.
The
intrinsic values and importance must be briefly explained or made to be felt
through incentives, motivations and the way we all in society treat with regard
and respect people with certain capabilities, irrespective of their other
irrelevant identities-as we do to sports stars, top academicians etc- and that will
make/motivate youngsters to emulate them and take up such activities.
But
forcing anything through any compulsory fiat may only invite vehement protests
and make the whole thing into an issue of television channel debates and may
end up counter- productive.
In
present day politics there are fields of activities where one must get things
done rather than making announcements.
However,
this may not be possible in all fields of activities, especially in activities
where there are not going to be any immediate,
quantifiable and tangible benefit either to the individual or to the
society.
Reviving
nice things which have been put in the back burner-for whatever reasons by
whomsoever- involve very patient and very diplomatic means.
Otherwise,
it may be viewed as pushing some agenda either good or bad.
Besides,
this is a politically ill- timed move taking into consideration the elections.
Anyway
the academic year also starts only after May and so what was the necessity for
this haste.
