The position of a common man in a country, when ruled by headless Head.

Hunger, after 65 years of independence, is no longer a major problem in India, but education is still. Thanks to all the governments so far, for their efforts to make India a Hunger-free nation. 

This milestone was possible only due to well educated, compassionate and visionary leadership, which was able to frame effective policies, and,  personally oversee their implementation, in letter and spirit. 

Likewise, education, for any growing nation, is most essential in every aspect, whether human development or mechanical development or overall growth of the country or a crisis management.

Here, I am leading you to a very common discussion that, 'whether Educational Qualification is necessary and important for politicians?

Records speak of several governments, introducing enormous policies to eradicate illiteracy. However, the leader himself incase is illiterate, there is no point or possibility to transform the citizens or to influence them to become literate.

History has authoritatively concluded that, there have always been the biggest advantages for the countries and constant growth thereby, whenever politicians and their leaders were well educated, well informed, compassionate and visionaries, who were able and competent to personally understand and frame effective policies, and, who had the  qualification and capability to personally oversee their implementation, in its true sence and perspective. 

From the administrative perspective, the leaders with less dependence on others have been the better, and, those totally independent and capable of thinking, perceiving and framing policies, have always been the best. And, those leaders, with no/less education or fake education degrees, with no compassionate heart, being totally dependent on others, have often proven the worst for the people. Be it any country, this has been a common rule. 

Practically speaking, the amount of popularity a leader has, whatever be his fan-following, his attire, body language, style of walking, fashion mantras and trends, cannot bring any practical and physical change in the growth of any country, and, inasmuch as in the normal life of a common man, unless well informed and much-thought of positive policies are brought-in with the help of education, to uplift the life of a common man. 

Now a days, it has become the basic need of a person to be educated, than an additional qualification, be it a leader or a common man. A leader, with higher degree of responsibility, should, in my opinion, equally be highly educated, matured, experienced, kind, and should understand people's feelings, thinking, vision etc. And, that all flows from education itself and our moral life. 

Leaders, with no education or less education or fake education degrees, can not, normally understand complexities and intricacies in administrative mechanism in the competitive circumstances, and be unable to cope up with the changes, which hinders country's development at the end of the day. 

From the psychological perspective too, a leader with superior educational background and skill in administration, would always be seen as confident and prefer interacting authoritatively with educated class, with qualified and experienced colleagues, subject matter experts, bureaucrats and the general public, to acquire and improve his knowledge and to increase deliverable performances. The leaders of  such kind hardly find any need to live on false pretenses or artificial or showy appearances or support of PR teams, for their survival, or to project and promote them as able leaders. Their sound knowledge, experience, expertise, disciplined and timely decisive approaches prove everything, speak volumes, with no need to seek attention and publicity. 

Whereas, an uneducated leader, in order to avoid exposure of his incompetency or his inability to comprehend, would psychologically always have an inferiority complex or an ego or frustration surrounding him and would normally avoid the healthy and fruitful discussions with his colleagues, bureaucrats or press or with the general public even, and, instead prefer radio to read out the literature crafted by professional PR Team, in an attempt to prove his ability.  Some may  even prefer Ghanti, Taali, Thaali and Diya too, to be in limelight and to continue being popular to the crowd in the gallery. Such so called leaders, just live the virtual life, 'the life of pretence', so long as they occupy the chair, to avoid true self.  By the time realities haunt, they just divert the attention to newer dimensions and vanish from the actual scene. Be that as it may, this is India and this alone goes on.. And, cheerleaders celebrate it as a success mantra of Robinhood. Interestingly, rest of the world is not free from such virtual leaders and their cheerleaders. 

Well, while concluding my personal opinion, mandatory educational qualification for politicians be prescribed in the larger interest of the country and higher the educational qualification is necessary for a leader occupying the highest position, for the country’s bright future and prosperity. Else, the position of a common man in a country, ruled by headless Head, be unimaginably pathetic and irreversible in the days to come.
