Beyond Singular Meaning: New Horizons of Society and Education
DR SURENDRA KUMAR An informed introspection about the contemporary world clarifies that increasing disconnect between existence and human beings is a new norm largely considered an inevitable outcome emerged from the processes of modernisation. Ironically, this disconnect manifests continuously in so many ways, such as genocides/ brutality witnessed in day-to-day public as well as personal life, etc., but hardly these issues perturb human beings. How do we analyse human-made hot weather leading to forest fires burning 13.5 million hectares of forest across the world in 2024? The NDTV reported on 20/7/26 that the Uttarakhand Govt put a break on the proposed felling of around 3000 trees for the Rishikesh- Bhaniyawala four-lane project; obviously, the resistance of people ensured that the awakened CM realised heat leading to hold on the proposal. It raises a very pertinent issue. Why and how does education fail us to get connected and learn from what is happening in our surroundings? Have we not seen how paper leaks and issues of corruption are products of educated human beings? Have we not seen failure to empathise with students protesting for basic rights? Have we not witnessed what has happened to life in cities where human beings have established total conquest over nature? Are the educated people not participants in this conquest-oriented mindset that has deprived cities from providing pure air, clean water and accommodation to not only human beings but also all living beings? Why do the educated people accept the legitimacy of emerging fragmented consciousness generated out of these excluded spaces of cities? It is crystal clear that human beings have entered into a phase defined by not only conflict with nature and others, but also the human being is in conflict with himself/herself? It raises another question: who will save this human being situated in conflict with himself /herself, and which processes led to the emergence of this human being shaped by fragmented consciousness? Historically, the perspective which shaped the worldview of Modern human beings can be classified as Singular. No doubt, the spaces created by educational institutions in the modern period aimed to surpass limitations imposed by structures inhabited by human beings and facilitate coordination and communication among teachers as well as students as an associated way of life. Unfortunately, this aim has been negotiated differently in different countries; at the same time, pedagogy has overwhelmingly remained rooted in the singular meaning of words and concepts, leading to disconnection from emerging reality across time and space. The education rooted in a paradigm disconnected from reality is largely a Banking Model of Education argued by Paulo Freire in the book Pedagogy of the Oppressed. He raises a very valid issue that the school students raise more questions outside the school rather than inside the school; whether this conformity of education or Conceptualisation of Education as Training is a product of disconnected curriculum or disconnected educator, or narrowing down education as the Text based knowledge. Have we not read how the Guardian newspaper described the Dark side of Coaching Capital Kota ( 9/10/23) or the BBC reported cases of suicides ( 22/10/23) or the Indian Express stated Rajasthans Kota: the Killer Coaching Hub? It indicates that the proposition that education training has been falsified and new ways of conceptualisation of education, human beings and existence is crucial for meaningful existence. Pondering the question of what is education and what has to be educated, the point of departure is how human beings and education were conceptualised in World societies prior to 1492 and in countries premised on co-existence after 1492. Unlike the linearity of time/Primacy of Mind imposed since 1492 as the foundation of a conquest-oriented mindset, Time has existed in both linear and non-linear manner. Human beings engaged in issues of public life and personal life face an overlap of this notion of time; for example, a person is in a linear mode of time when engaged in office work; at the same time, he/she is in a non-linear mode of time when engaged in caring for family members or empathising with anybody in need at the office or outside the office. If the mind is the sole site of getting educated and text is the only source of education, how do we explain the timeless wisdom emerging out of nature, forests, Religious sites, and various elements of our existence? How do we resolve a contradiction when a person of 60 years makes a decision that may be legitimate at the age of 20 years? What corrupts an educated human being? Contrary to monolithic analysis of human beings in binary of mind & matter, A deeper analysis of human being shows that human being is a complex living being existing at the level of public, personal/family and cosmological level as well as corresponding to the surroundings at the level of body, mind and element beyond body & mind/soul conceptualised in Indic Traditions and argued by Giani Sant Singh Ji Maskeen. The crisis underlines the contradictory nature of the relationship between the evolution of body and mind. Biologically, the body expands and shrinks, but the mind/desires do not necessarily mature in the same manner as the body. Truly, the three-dimensional aspect of human beings shows that any monolithic process of education cannot educate a human being. It proves that the text, the space inhabited by human beings and the experience of interaction with existence are the most important constituent elements of the education process; human beings are educated continuously at every interaction with existence. Hence, these processes of education need to be appropriated and accommodated at every step of human beings, both at formal as well as informal levels. In other words, the process of life itself is educational, and the essence of this education is communication across spaces inhabited by Text, Classroom, Campus, society and the entire existence inhabited by non-human beings. A life lived at the level of public/society, family and cosmological level must be a shared and communicated life. In fact, John Dewey argued that there is a relation between three words: common, community and communication and the proximity of people becomes a community if it has commonality in aims, aspirations and goals of life. This commonality of goals, aims, and aspirations changes across time and space, and therefore, words acquire multiple meanings over a period of time. If education and society correspond to these overlapping meanings acquired by words and concepts, it is always rooted in reality and becomes a problem-posing education, enlightening and situating human beings beyond the singular perspective. Therefore, New Horizons of education and society must be rooted in reality and taking into consideration, beyond the singular perspective, along with classroom and text-based learning, the totality of knowledge and discourse that emerged in the processes of evolution of human beings in the space inhabited by existence.

India rejects Pakistan's remarks at ASEAN forum, says J&K and Ladakh are integral parts of country
New Delhi, Jul 23: India on Thursday strongly rejected comments made by Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister at the 33rd ASEAN Regional Forum, accusing Islamabad of misusing a multilateral platform to spread falsehoods and divert attention from its record of sponsoring cross-border terrorism. In a statement, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India categorically rejects the baseless and unwarranted comments made by the Pakistani leader. It is no surprise that a multilateral forum has once again been cynically exploited by Pakistan to amplify falsehoods, peddle state-sponsored disinformation, and divert attention from its own well-documented record of sponsoring cross-border terrorism, he said. Reiterating India's position on Jammu and Kashmir, Jaiswal said the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh have been, are and will always remain integral and inalienable parts of India, adding that Pakistan has no locus standi to comment on the same. The MEA also reaffirmed India's stand on the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT), saying the treaty would remain in abeyance in view of Pakistan's continued support for cross-border terrorism. India's position on the Indus Waters Treaty remains consistent. IWT stands in abeyance in response to Pakistan's continued sponsorship of cross-border terrorism, including the dastardly Pahalgam attack. IWT will continue to be held in abeyance until Pakistan credibly and irrevocably abjures its support for cross-border terrorism, Jaiswal said. The spokesperson also condemned Pakistan for what he described as the continued propagation of officially sponsored disinformation, including the use of religious terminology such as Fitna al-Hindustan. Calling it a futile attempt to divert attention from Pakistan's domestic problems and its well-proven role as a safe haven for global terrorist networks, Jaiswal said Islamabad should stop misusing international forums and instead dismantle the terrorist infrastructure operating from its soil. Instead of pointing fingers at its neighbours and misusing international platforms, Pakistan would serve itself and its people far better by dismantling the infrastructure of terrorism on its soil and putting its own house in order, he said.

1st T20I: Mayank, Prince, And Sooryavanshi Star As India Crush Zimbabwe By Seven Wickets (ld)
Harare Sports Club: Dynamic Delhi-based fast bowling duo of Mayank Yadav and Prince Yadav delivered a masterclass in aggressive fast bowling before teenage batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi etched his name in the history books with an 18-ball half-century as India registered a comfortable seven-wicket victory over Zimbabwe in the first T20I at the Harare Sports Club. While Mayank took 2-18, Prince picked 2-19, with Shivam Dube and Ravi Bishnoi bagging a scalp each. At 32/4, Zimbabwe were on the verge of getting a total less than 100. But Ryan Burl (26), Wessly Madhevere (39) and Tadiwanashe Marumani (27 not out) ensured Zimbabwe didnt lose many wickets later and crossed the 120-mark. The chase was always going to be a stroll in the park for India, as Sooryavanshi's 18-ball fifty, laced with four boundaries and as many sixes, made him the youngest player to score a half-century in international cricket. His blitzkrieg reduced the chase to a mere formality as India reached home with 40 balls remaining and gained a 1-0 lead in the three-game series. The result also meant that Shreyas Iyer finally got a win as Indias T20I captain on his eighth attempt. Returning to international cricket after a 21-month injury lay-off, Mayank wasted no time making an impact. On the very first ball of the match, he hurled a 144 kmph back-of-a-length thunderbolt that nipped away and took Brian Bennetts edge behind and got him out for a golden duck following a successful review by keeper Ishan Kishan. Though debutant pacer Ashok Sharma was hit for back-to-back boundaries by fellow debutant Ben Curran, Prince ensured the pressure remained relentless from the other end. Coming into the attack in the fourth over, Prince struck with his second delivery as Curran miscued a pull straight to mid-wicket. Mayank then used his pace to rush Dion Myers, who tamely chipped a length ball to mid-on, while skipper Sikandar Raza managed just four runs before slapping a back-of-a-length delivery from Shivam Dube straight to deep square leg. Ryan Burl attempted to rebuild with a few heavy hits, including a six off Dube over deep mid-wicket. However, leg-spinner Bishnoi broke the 32-run partnership when Burl failed to clear the long-off boundary. Entering the death overs, Madhevere spearheaded a late push for the hosts. He capitalised on anything loose, scooping Ashok Sharma fine for consecutive boundaries and dispatching Bishnoi over long-on for a six. Marumani added vital support with a crisp six off Dube, lifting the hosts past the 100-run mark. But India regained tight control in the final over. Madhevere's useful stay ended when he was run out trying to sneak a second run following a sharp throw from Dube. Prince then dismissed Brad Evans for a duck on the very next ball as he mistimed a full toss straight to mid-off and capped off a clinical performance by the Indian bowlers. Chasing 126, Sooryavanshi dismantled Richard Ngarava in the second over by smashing two mammoth sixes and a boundary to collect 20 runs. Despite losing opening partner Abhishek Sharma (1) to Blessing Muzarabani in the third over, Sooryavanshi showed no signs of slowing down. While deploying the pull shot well and moving around the crease effectively, Sooryavanshi continued his onslaught against Evans - whipping him for consecutive boundaries, before smashing Muzarabani for two fours and a six down the ground. From the other end, Ishan Kishan capitalised on poor lines from debutant Newman Nyamhuri to get three boundaries, even as Sooryavanshi brought up his maiden international fifty off just 18 balls at the venue where he hit an explosive 175 in this years U19 World Cup final. But on the very next ball, his knock ended when he top-edged Ngarava to deep third man in the seventh over. By then, India were in a commanding position, and Kishan, along with Shreyas Iyer (27 not out) and Tilak Varma (5 not out) ensured there were no further hiccups in guiding India home.

Cong, INDIA bloc MPs pay homage to students who took their lives over paper leaks at Gandhi Smriti
New Delhi, Jul 23: Several leaders of the Congress and INDIA bloc parties on Thursday paid homage to all those students who took their lives due to paper leaks, and said they stood strongly behind the agitating students and their demands. The opposition leaders first assembled at the residence of Rahul Gandhi on 5, Sunehri Bagh Road, and reiterated their full support for the demands of the protesting students. From there, Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, led them to the Gandhi Smriti on a bus. On reaching there, Gandhi and the opposition MPs paid homage to the departed students with folded hands, and later sang the national anthem. Gandhi carried a small copy of the Constitution with him while opposition MPs Mahua Majhi and Mahua Moitra were seen holding the national flag. Some of the MPs also switched on torches on their mobile phones at the Gandhi Smriti. Police had put up barricades on the Sunehri Bagh Road to stop the large number of Congress and Youth Congress workers from moving towards Tees January Marg, where the Congress and other leaders were headed from Rahul's residence. However, police later removed the barricades and allowed Gandhi and other MPs to move forward. As they reached the end of the Sunehri Bagh Road and near Amit Shah's residence, police stopped them and said they were not allowed to assemble there as BNS Section 163 was in force that prohibited the assembly of five or more persons in the area. They, however, later allowed Gandhi and the others to move towards Tees January Marg. In a post on X, Gandhi said that no one can stop them from standing with the students of India. In solidarity with the students, we wanted to take the opposition MPs to India Gate. But they refused. Then, we wanted to take them to Tees January Marg, Gandhi ji's assassination spot. Now, they have put this bus in front of us so that we can't get there. They put up this bus and barricades to stop us, preventing our movement. They are doing this drama. Obviously, they are scared. All of us MPs felt that if the students are on the streets, we should also be on the streets, Gandhi said in a video from the bus headed towards Gandhi Smriti. In an X post earlier, Gandhi said, Right now, MPs and leaders of the INDIA bloc are peacefully heading to Gandhi Smriti on Tees January Marg. We go to remember the students we lost the children driven to take their own lives after the NEET paper leak. And we go to stand with the students who lie injured today - beaten for peacefully demanding justice and accountability. Indias students are not alone. The entire Opposition stands with them and their demands, Gandhi said. The opposition MPs earlier deliberated on their strategy to strongly raise the issue of alleged police brutality from the streets to Parliament. A source said that Gandhi is learnt to have addressed the opposition MPs on how to up the ante on the government on the students' issues. The leaders present at Gandhi's residence included Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, general secretaries Jairam Ramesh and K C Venugopal, senior leaders P Chidambaram, Pramod Tiwari, K Suresh, Kumari Selja and Priniti Shinde. RJD's Sanjay Yadav, Sudhakar Singh and Misa Bharti, CPI-M's John Brittas, RSP's N K Premachandran, TMCs Mahua Moitra and Saugata Roy, among others, were also present.
