In What Way Education Institutions in India Better than in Europe?

Education institutions in India and Europe both have strengths and weaknesses, and which is "better" depends on what you're comparing — cost, academic rigor, global reputation, access, or cultural context. However, here are some areas where Indian education institutions may be considered better than their European counterparts, depending on the lens: 1. Affordability and Return on Investment Lower Tuition Fees : Public institutions in India (especially IITs, IIMs, AIIMS, etc.) offer world-class education at a fraction of the cost compared to European private universities. Value for Money : For many students, especially from middle-income backgrounds, an IIT degree can lead to global opportunities with minimal student debt. 2. Competitive Environment Merit-Based Admissions : Entrance to top Indian institutions like IITs and AIIMS is highly competitive, often considered tougher than Ivy League admission due to the sheer number of applicants.

Thanking The One Thousand Years Back and Now

 Once upon a time, someone was milking a cow, and a thought came into his mind that he should thank "The One" who created a creature that could give such a life-giving thing to drink.

Then he thought what better way to thank "The One" than by offering the same milk that had been gifted to him.

But where to find "The One" who gifted him with this.

He searched for "The One" everywhere but he had no clue as to where he was.

After much research, a thought came into the little heart of that person. He gathered some mud, wet it with water, and formed a small tomb-like thing, maybe in the shape of a small hump.

He then gathered his thoughts and in his heart, he thought of "The One" who gave him animals that give healthy life-giving milk.

In his heart, he said I consider this small tomb as you "The One" because I am not able to find you anywhere after much search.

And to thank you for giving me such a life-saving thing to drink, I offer to you this milk that you have gifted me.

He closed his eyes and thought of "The One" wherever that person was, and poured the milk on that small tomb considering that he was offering this milk to "The One".

It was a thought, it was a gesture of pure thankfulness from that person.

This act that you are being thankful to "The One" must have been well accepted. Others too joined him and it started happening at regular intervals.

This act of being thankful happened thousands of years back when there were few people and an abundance of cows that gave life-giving milk.

In the present time, when there are many more people and far fewer cows compared to that time, the same act of being thankful to "The One" does not hold quite a justification or make sense.

Thousands of years back there were almost limitless resources and only a handful of takers.

In the present time, it is almost the opposite.

When there has been a sea change in the way we live in the present time from that of thousands of years back, we should change the way we express our thankfulness to "The One".

Maybe we should ensure that this milk reaches where it is needed more or be distributed equally.

The act that was 100% correct thousands of years back is probably not in the present time.

Since every being is created by The One, it is the duty of the ones who have it in abundance should give it to those who don't.

It sounds too theoretical, but it can at least be done on 1 day at least, just like the day when that person thanked "The One".

I request suggestions for a better way to thank "The One"

Please share your thoughts in the comments.

  COVID-19 has not only uprooted economies, but also destroyed individuals both financially and healthwise. My daily routine was brought to a standstill during the second wave of the pandemic, as the notorious disease caught me. But even as the symptoms subsided, the lingering effect of the virus has been disrupting my life. Here I talk about my journey that went through the post-covid recovery and how it reshaped my thinking of health both mentally and physically. After being a victim of corona a lot of things have changed in my body and in my thoughts.
