Another suicide, the tragic story of our combined insanity, which is the result of dehumanization inherent in the educational system! This time it is Aishwarya Reddy - a young girl from the famous Sriram College of Delhi's famous Girami. He could not bear it any more and chose to end his life. In some of the branded colleges in our metros, where glitter and glamor are a specialty, the reality is that this world is filled with a terrible disparity. To say that knowledge can be imparted through smooth online studies is a myth. There are many student-teachers who dislike this method, they feel hurt and scattered. Just think, Aishwarya's family was unable to get her a laptop so that she could attend the online class and the fact that she had to leave the college hostel during the epidemic. This further increased mental stress. As a teacher, I feel guilty and do not know how to react to her suicide note, which said: 'My family is facing a lot of financial difficulties because of me. My education has become a burden. If I am not able to read and write, I will not be able to survive. 'The masters of the education system work like a soulless machine. There are reasons behind this. First, teachers have been replaced by technical-managers. They dislike intimacy, human compassion and quality experiences. Therefore everything should be napa-tula, tied in quantity and sorted. As such it is necessary for data so that the product can be sold. For these technical-managers, a student is limited to not only how much his attendance is or what the grade was in the examination. Similarly, a teacher is also a biodata for him, in which publications, lectures, seminars attended or seminars offered are of recognizable utility. Anything that is not measurable is beyond their comprehension because their attachment is in the mechanistic presentation and manipulation of this data. As everything is getting transformed into technological devices, biometric or CCTV cameras, the emphasis is that this is the only way to be disciplined.
Who understood and cared for him, or was he ever convinced that some teachers understand his problems? As a teacher, I often ask myself: Have we become horrifically insensitive as teachers?
