Raju (11) wakes up at 7 ‘o’ clock in the morning. He loves math and is very good at it. He loves school only for the reason that he can attend math classes and shout out loud the answers even before the teacher completes the problem on the blackboard. He comes back home at 4 ‘o’ clock and lives a life like a normal child. In addition, he gives answers to primary math questions for a website and earns his pocket money. He is called an asset for the world by his teachers. His teachers loved him and it is quite obvious that he going to turn out to be an expert mathematician when he grows.
On the other hand, Ravi (12) loves working on electrical and electronics. His expertise is in connecting different wires and making electrical systems work. He discontinued his 5th grade because his parents think that he needs to use his talent to get money into the house. His parents work as daily labour at construction sites to earn an amount that exactly fits for their basic needs. Because Raju was born in such a family, he cannot go to school and have a bright future with his talent of wires. His God gifted skill is only limited to the addition of daily wages to the family.
He continues to live the same kind of life his parents live and the same is going to move on with the next generations. All this happens, even if their current situation has the capacity to change their lives into better lives. To impose the understanding into them, the efforts that are needed reach the sky. As the educated citizens of our country, it is our responsibility to try our levels best to acknowledge such classes in society.
