This article is an excerpt from the book Future Government of India. The Future Government of India is a MacMillan and Co., Limited, London publication authored by K.Vyasa Rao, B.A. This book was published from London in the year 1918. Yes pretty old, yet very relevant so read on.

It has a section dedicated to the problems of Indian Education. This section clearly explains the problems and the causes related to Indian Education. In spite of the fact that this book is 83 years old one can find a lot of relevancy even in the context of present day 'Advanced Education system'. We know that the present system seems deficient. We are unable to locate the problem and have no idea as to how this is affecting the nation. This is the reason why I decided to present this section. The entire text is presented as in the book and one may notice that except to the references to British rule - the other things seem relevant even today.

The main intention of presenting this excerpt is to convey to the reader the basic goal of education. In all our efforts to get 'educated' we are moving away from the very purpose of education. Its too late for us to change the method of learning to obtain what the author describes as the best method for Indian conditions, but we can definitely make it a point to understand fully the essence behind real 'education', and hence start acquiring real education. After reading this one can correct oneself, and when more and more people do it, we can see a change in our country. This learning is not only for students but also for teachers, for the Universities, for each and every citizen of the country because only a truly 'educated' country can move towards achievement.

This work is dedicated to the author, K. Vyasa Rao, who had a great vision to foresee things almost a century ahead of him.
