Summary
People in the low status think that they can overcome poverty due to the education. Children worked before instead of studying at school because parents didn’t know the importance of education. Now the situation has changed dramatically. A large number of children go to school which is in bad situation. Parents started to focus on private school. States schools remain bad, but children may get a chance at a private school. People started to notice that the God cannot help them nor save a small child life. They feel the politics or governance is bad. This leads to secularization, though Hinduism and castle levels were important before. Globalisation has a great impact on Indian society and education. The spread of the new technology such as television and the Internet has changed the roles of parents and teachers and people now can access to privacy.
