Pan, Penguin, and Plutarch

As I re-read this article by @MNageswarRaoIPS ,more I undrstnd Indian constitution's abrahmic nature
1950,SC gave itself total power 2 decide whthr a particular practice/tradition is essential 2 Hinduism or not

Using these powers judges decide how much 'charnamat," should be put on Mahakal Shivling, whether sabri mala should be open for women against its temple rituals, whether animal sacrifice should be allowed in hindu temples or not?
Who are they? Expert in hindu scriptures?

"My own view is that the 'education bubble,' like any asset bubble, is not merely a financial crisis. It is a moral crisis: a misallocation and distortion of value. The underlying problem of the modern university is a crisis of integrity and purpose." https://t.co/CCxE7QFpDa

This is excellent, @JoshHochschild, truly excellent. I think you should be part of any effort to completely rethink and restore higher education. You put your finger on so much here. The colleges that survive will be those who know their mission and believe in it (i.e., "Lindy").

A few chapters into the book and can say it is a very easy flowing, engaging read. 
@harshmadhusudan was one the first people I started following on this platform n its great to be reading his book after a few years 🙂 
Wishing Harsh and @RMantri more success in the years ahead. https://t.co/yFhPn5wpx3

Pls explain:
On the one hand, I find many Indians worldwide among the highest accomplished in various fields 
On the other hand, I find huge majority are poor in IQ, work ethics, reading skills, argumentation; BUT big on emotions, lofty self-image & lots of BULLSHIT/BAKVAS
Why?

Many former school/college classmates retired from top posts tell me youth caliber has DECLINED over recent decades. 
-Reservations lowered the quality?
-Malthusian over population?
-Bad education
-Fake westernization
-Other?
Pls comment

Cricket, Bollywood, and Music keep the youth busy. No incentive in reading. Basically, no intellectual quest. Lack of acquaintance with Philosophy proper is the cause.

The rise of the Global monoculture is one of the reasons, people are loosing originality. Non-western societies r a disproportionate victim, because the monoculture is west driven. But, if youth caliber was so great in the past, we wouldn't be carrying Nehruvian BS on our heads.
