How Can We Matter

It is about 4 years since I wrote this post titled:  Literacy, The Bane of Kerala!  Since then, is there any significant change in the civil society? Of course yes, though it is only to reconfirm my assertion that literacy is the misfortune of Kerala ! In fact, in the last 4 years we have spiraled down further into the dark abyss.

This post argues that literacy is the main obstacle to progress in the most literate State of India. Literacy by itself just makes people aware of their rights and entitlements but not about their responsibilities to the society. Literacy does not give them the power to discriminate between good and bad  character and conduct as well as between right and wrong behaviors .
