    I am father of a 9 year old daughter who is at home for last 2 months thinking why is she not going to school? Why is this injustice being meted out to her? A young mind today is talking about courts and street protests instead of leaning history, science and maths which will lead her to nation building.

     Does anyone even know that parents and students with sitting MLA had been on hunger strike for 7 days, handing out roses to passer-byes and motorists on the same road for days to end? The media is interested in gay rights and whether Sanjay Dutt scratched his behind in the morning make national news headlines.

    It is sickening. When the state turns a blind eye to injustice, and greedy people with power and corruption turn predators, public will take the same course we took. Though, the entire struggle has been peaceful, both us parents and students heartily apologise for even the smallest inconvenience to anyone.

    The roles of renowned structural engineers, education director and education minister are far from satisfactory. At the same time, Mumbai Police and the Chief Minister deserve a salute for their fairness and support. Who says the largest democracy in the world has achieved freedom? History taught us, the same management struggled to drive out the British and now they are driving out innocent children to bring in Cambridge education.

    Guess integrity, commitment, honesty and honour went out with the British. Personally though, I feel the top management got bad advise from equally bad advisors and failed to sense the pulse.
