There are a lot of people in India talking tall about politics, economics, health , education and all other topics which are or which may be below this sky. But unfortunately such tall talks are bare display of artificial intellectualism. There are almost no concrete efforts to educate and to sansitize public in general about the issues directly related to Aam Admi life. We seriously lack such platforms. In absence of such platforms which would have solid base of research works by experts in the actual field public have to depend on news channels and print media. I do believe India has no dearth of field researchers and scholors but most of them don't prefer to come on public plateforms to educate and to make aware common people. Similarly universities with shackles of rules and regulations and under the paucity of funds for such activities seldom create formal plateforms where there could be conglomeration of researchers and scholars in front of common public. Further only a few such serious digital platforms are available.
Behind this sordid state of affairs there are many reasons, some of which may be mentioned here. For most of the information our scholary world. Individuals or groups take very few steps to collect data independently. Secondly our country's too much politicization feeds our intellectuals with political biasness and interesting politics is also blatantly biased against those who think otherwise. Thirdly here in India we still believe that awareness is equivalent to political awareness. Social or cultural awareness is not considered as awarness among masses. If you discuss any political issue a lot of people assemble. But if you go with a program on social cultural issue there are a few takers in society. Fourthly resource crunch and resource over eating by a few is another aspect. Those who control majority of resources, directly or indirectly try to control information and public debate on . topics of common interests. Fifthly politics is all powerful overshadowing other issues and majority of intelligentsia spend his energy for winning the attention and favor of the power corridor. There are so many other factors. The result is that intellectualism in India is in shambles and common public is cursed to live with darkness of knowladge.
