#Above all, we cannot start teaching students without our understanding the purpose of education.
##Many a Hindu, ( the semitic religions too practice this world over for ethnic purity for example Arab countries, it is true. ) for example, has allowed himself or herself to be proselytize for different reasons.
###One such reason consists in the prospects of economic upliftment and raising of social status which the converters promise to these poor souls who have been unfortunately relegated to the unwanted section of Hindu society, by somehow depriving them of the facilities to improve themselves economically.
####The second reason is the baneful practice of untouchability and pollution by touch, which certain orthodox groups cultivated for a long time and which has not completely died out even today.
*Now the question arises: Why should have these things happened?
**Why should there be suppression and untouchability etc. in human circles?
***The answer is : lack of proper education. ( Still this evil persists means the system of education missing the vital necessity).

#But what is proper education?
##Bearing in mind the essentials of the process enumerated above, it should be added that though education should be an immensely practicable affair, we should not think that the practicability of a thing consists in what is called 'succeeding' in life in any political sense of the term, because one may manoeuvre to succeed for some time, as one does in business, for instance, but be extremely unhappy within, in spite of the so-called 'practical' success.
###This happens because here we have only a soulless practicality of affairs, bereft of the sap of life which sustains it.
*"Though, when we occupy a house, we are not always conscious of its foundation, nor is the foundation visible to the eyes, it goes without saying that the whole edifice stands on the foundation."
**Likewise, human success in life may look beautiful like a decorated and furnished building, but it cannot stand if it is not firmly fixed on a strong base. Our purpose here would be to have some idea as to what could this foundation of life's education be.
