Right to live and learn
What will happen if The Right to Education is read with the Fundamental Right to life for children for whom access to education is the lifeline between having and losing? For now and all time?
Media which cries itself hoarse over the Freedom of Speech for itself and its minions must raise its voice to a crescendo to speak for all children in the subcontinent. This linkage of fundamental right to life and education for all children could then be used to overrule the cacophony of provisions for minorities and other interests (including unregulated imported models of schooling mushrooming around our metros.)
It is time to ungate our communities before we are all reduced to living in our ghettoes. Our schools and our streets must be opened to all children to learn and play together. For that we have to open our hearts and free our minds of old prejudices.
