This was not the single story. Krishna was the ancient Guru who still guide us for taking right decision. Tulsidas, Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Sikh Gurus etc. are the real teachers who did a lot for making this nation. Hitler, Subhash Chandra Bose all took inspiration from their teachers. Sri sri Ravishankar, Mata Amritamayii and some persons in society who are also playing the role of gurus and trying to inculcate culture among people.
Let us see current situation of some system. In Javahar Navodaya Vidyalaya teachers with their families are supposed to stay in school campus with students. They are provided all the facilities in the school itself. This is nothing but modern replication of Gurukul Paddhati. But the outcome is not at per what it was expected. Such a situation has developed that in spite of focusing for the betterment of nation by nurturing students, incorporating them with culture and sense of service and making them a good cultured person, all are specially teachers are spending their time always repenting for some bad governance. Teachers are complaining about the faulty system that they have to work for whole day but they are paid the same what the teachers of day schools are paid. They have to watch and handle all kinds of affair of the students, which distracts them from focusing on teaching and leave them with little time to prepare the lecture and teaching material for effective lecture in the class. I agree about the grievances of teachers. The pain, the sense of alienation and injustice they are going through must be noticed and taken care of which is not happening yet. Do that mean, teacher should stop their work, do they stop their godly job of making responsible citizens. Can such actions will help anyone? Absolutely not. But that will make the situation even worse. If they are realizing that there are problems, wrong done, injustice and they also strongly think that those miscreants, problems must be eliminated, faulty rules must be rectified and modified then they have to work with some motive. They have to work hard on the students as a mission and have to prepare them fighting against all miscreants so that in future others have not to face the problems. Building a good society takes time, selfless service and devotion for achieving goal. If we have determination then we can do without any formal resources.
See if all the teachers would have worked hard, if they would have some vision, if they would have suffered for national cause, then after the end of 20 years of establishment of 500 hundred navodaya vidyalayas across the country would have produced a pool of sensible engineers, doctors, IAS officers and other professionals who would have taken steps for changing the nation.
So I have some word for the teachers that you have already lost so many years, please be careful and develop some vision, work as a mission and imparts all those social sense among the students and make them able to achieve their goal which will help in developing beautiful society. If religious organization, if terrorist organization can sacrifice why not you for the sake of making a rational society.
Martin Luther King started raising his voice, he died along with many able persons for cause, for bringing equality, for evaporating hatred from a section of people against other sections of people. His death, his sacrifices didn't go in vain. Today the victory of Barack Obama is the symbol of the result for which those people fight and died. Nana Palkhiwala told strongly, "Keep your head and spirits high and carry the fight right up to the doorsteps of death- for death can only destroy the body- not your spirit".
