Dear Levina (obvious pun intended to point out Smriti Irani's utter stupidity)
Not sure how your KV education makes any difference. Although I did go to private schools, I have definitely studied at govt institutes for what it's worth. That's not the point here. The point here is whether we value education or not. Smriti Irani is an insult to the collective intelligence of the country. If she was a Congress appointee the same people who are defending her would have thrashed her and they would be right. She is to HRD ministry as Rahul baba is to Congress presidency, both highly unqualified for the job. Have you noticed her statements over the past 2 years? The only thing she is good at is drama, which is her primary trade anyway. Just as we speak, Chetan Chauhan, an ex cricketer has been appointed as NIFT chairman. What's next? Anupam Kher to head IISc? It has been made abundantly clear that you don't have to have any education/experience in relevant fields to hold important positions, you just need political backing. Get out of your party affiliation and think for a moment, what's her credentials to be one of India's most important ministers? Can you list them? Or does that not matter anymore? Would you react the same way if Tushar Kapoor was made defense minister, because it is as crazy as that? And when someone asked Mrs Irani about decreased spending in education (last year) her answer was that good research can be done with less money. I mean how stupid can one get, that's how clueless she is. I am not even going into her obvious political involvement in student politics across the country. Anyone not wearing tinted BJP goggles can see that her appointment is one of the worst decisions Modi has taken, perhaps next only to his visit to Pakistan.
Giving a breakdown of his work schedule, Chauhan said: “I will spend 60 per cent of the time in DDCA, 30 per cent at NIFT and 30 per cent in my business.”
