Who will be happy when he sees a policeman standing at the gate with a stick in his education. One is tempted to ask. What is the use of this education . Where  policemen are needed for conducting examinations?" The aim of education is to wipe out the existence of the force. When a father sends his son to school, does he think that his son will become a thief? So it is not an irony that his son will become the students thieves who copy in the examination at the point of  knife, stick, pistol, or bayonet are no better than robbers. Can any father be happy when he sees this? The cause of such indiscipline is that students don't read and teachers don't teach. Generally, in many places inefficient teachers are appointed by the authorities on the basis of recommendation. Sometimes they select inefficient hands to pay less. The result is that the schools and colleges plays with the lives of the young students. Among teachers, there is friction. Sometimes principals harass teachers and sometimes teachers unite against them. The result is that schools / colleges becomes places of petty politics. Another cause is that schools and colleges are over-crowded. III-fed, ill-clothed and tuition hunter teachers are there to teach. Paper are out. students are tempted to go to the safest way of tuition. When there is no work, indiscipline comes in an idle man's mind is the devil's workshop.
