Acharya Prashant addresses the proliferation of superstition and fraudulent spiritual leaders on social media, attributing their survival to the deep-seated ignorance prevalent in society. He argues that governments do not ban such activities because they rely on the same uneducated populace for their political power. He highlights a historical failure in India since 1947: the neglect of foundational education. While elite institutions like IITs and IIMs were established, they serve only a tiny fraction of the population, leaving the vast majority with a weak educational base. He points out that official literacy rates are misleading, as many who are counted as literate can only sign their names and lack the ability to think critically or value knowledge. He defines a truly educated person as one whose power of thinking and understanding has been awakened, estimating that perhaps only one or two percent of Indians meet this criteria. This lack of genuine education leads people to seek guidance from astrologers and superstitious figures, even if they hold formal degrees. Acharya Prashant criticizes the current education system for its low standards, such as the thirty-three percent passing mark, which he views as a conspiracy against the human mind. He suggests that the passing threshold should be much higher, around seventy or eighty percent, to ensure actual comprehension. He also notes that teaching is often seen as a last-resort profession in India, whereas in developed nations, it is a highly respected field. To transform the nation, Acharya Prashant proposes a model of universal and compulsory education for every child up to the age of twenty-three, funded by the state. This curriculum should include mathematics, science, economics, philosophy, psychology, and literature to create well-rounded human beings rather than just money-making machines. He laments the current trend of 'ignorant swag,' where lack of sophistication and knowledge is celebrated. He concludes that only a truly educated generation can solve the country's problems in politics, religion, and the economy, asserting that the neglect of knowledge is the greatest sin committed since independence.
