Question

a call to youth summary by radhakrishnan

Answer 1

$\mathcal{\small{\red{Challenges\:Facing\:Our\:Country:}}}$

Political freedom has brought us a great opportunity.

It has brought us the sacred responsibility of building up a new India

which will be free from want and disease and the curse of caste and creed.

Our country is passing through a great revolutionary period in

human history. It is facing a many sided challenge, political and economic,

social and cultural.

Education is the means by which our youth can be trained

to face this great challenge and build the new India of our dreams.

$\mathcal{\small{\green{The\:Constructive\:Side\:of\:Science:}}}$

Dr.Radhakrishnan believes that scientific and technological studies

develop in us an attitude of tolerance, freedom from prejudice and

hospitality to new ideas. Only by developing our heart and intelligence

and our own moral values can we save the world from total destruction.

$\mathcal{\small{\orange{The\:Real\:Aim\:of\:Education:}}}$

Any satisfactory system of education should aim at a balanced growth

of the individual. It should insist on both knowledge and wisdom.

It should not only train the intellect, but also bring grace into the heart

of man. Wisdom is more easily gained through the study of literature,

philosophy and religion. The study of these subjects help us to

understand the higher laws of the universe and face the

difficult problems of life.

$\mathcal{\small{\purple{Cause\:for\:Unrest\:Among\:Students:}}}$

Indifference to our culture is

mainly responsible for the increasing unrest among the students

in our universities.

Unless the students develop a sense of

self-control and a sense of balance,

they become a danger to themselves, and to society as a whole.

$\mathcal{\small{\red{Role\:of\:Teachers\:in\:Universities:}}}$

A University is essentially a corporation of teachers and students.

The kind of education that the students receive will depend on the

quality of the teachers. The University teachers must be paid well

so that they may be able to devote themselves to learning, teaching,

and research. Magnificent buildings and equipments are no substitute

for great teachers. In the absence of competent teachers, it is

impossible for the students to get adequate academic tuition or

moral guidance.

$\mathcal{\small{\pink{The\:Importance\:of\:Spiritual\:Strength:}}}$

Our future destiny as a nation depends on our spiritual strength rather

than upon our material wealth. The goal of perfection cannot be reached

by the weak in spirit. The greatest asset of a nation is the spirit of

its people. If we develop the spirit of our people, our future will be bright.

$\mathcal{\small{\orange{Learning\:without\:being\:Cultured-Dangerous:}}}$

If we become learned without getting truly cultured, we become

a danger to society. We become like demons and we may bring

destruction to the world. It is wrong to assume that scientific discovery

and technological improvement alone can bring about the betterment

of mankind. We have placed too much emphasis on scientific training.

We have to rectify this mistake and develop the basic values of the spirit.

$\huge{\bold{\boxed{\boxed{\mathfrak{\red{Conclusion}}}}}}$

The Summary reveals Dr Radhakrishnan’s love for our country and

his concern to give the right kind of education to the

young men and women of our country.
