First and foremost, I would personally like to invite you to my blog. As a typical Indian youth, I've been finding a place to voice my feelings without anyone influencing me. Thanks to my fellow blogging friends, I guess I've found a place here in the blogosphere.
Now, back to the post.
Well, as we can see right now, the number of Indian students in Tamil schools achieving straight A's in UPSR has been increasing from year to year(Note that I mentioned 'INDIAN" students and not Tamil, Telegu, or Malayalee students). It's a good sign of improvement in our society. But than, is this it? Is academic excellency in the first public examination would be the pinnacle of success for our Tamil schools? Why are we not going further than that? What I am trying to emphasize here is that, what's the point if our young kids are getting straight A's in UPSR but the physical condition of our Tamil schools are deteriorating from time to time? Ask yourself, when was the the last time you did something to improve the conditions of our Tamil schools? Well i doubt whether some of you had ever visited a Tamil school what more caring to improve the conditions of it? This is a bitter fact that most of us choose to ignore.
Just look at the Chinese schools which are mushrooming around us. Such vernacular schools are at the same age as our Tamil schools. But compare their conditions with ours. Aren't we in a pitiful state? You may ask on how did this condition occur. Simple, when you find some free time, just drop by a Tamil school at 6.00pm during school days and compare the situation with any Chinese school. At Chinese schools, you may see parents in a showcase of luxurious cars waiting to pick their children back home which is in contrast with Tamil schools where parents would be waiting in motorbikes and most to most, school vans to pick children back home. I'm sorry if this is a slap on the face for poor Indians but it's really a fact.
What happened to all the rich Indians? Well, read on.
The rich Indians in the other hand would prefer to send their children to private schools and convents. For them, sending their kids to Tamil schools pulls down their dignity. They would happily spend thousands and thousands of dollars in going on tours around the world. But when it comes down to helping the Tamil schools, "Ekonomi tight la brother". Just have a look at the common sight in the temple. After every pooja, Indians would gracefully take out some 'red' notes to be given to the iyers. I just have a question you, don't the iyers have a fixed salary to perform their duty? Then why do you have to 'donate' to them? Show off eh?
Imagine if every Indian stops 'donating' to these iyers but in turn give the money to the Tamil schools, then I don't think the little kids of Tamil schools would ever have to go around asking for donations for their schools.
Ponder on this,
We are the proud owners of the tallest Murugan statue in the world, but we don't even have a single Tamil HIGH School? Why go until high school? Just look at the current condition of a Tamil primary school below.
TEPI SUNGAI TAMIL SCHOOL KLANG.
How pitiful it is eh?
Now I'll just leave it to you to decide on what YOU are willing to do for our Tamil schools. We've done it academic wise, now lets go on further!
P/s,
Since this is my first post, I apologize if there are any mistakes in what and how I wrote. Sincerely I would be happy if out of everyone who read my articles, at least one person would be ready to be the change and help to improve our society.
THANK YOU.
