Idealism has become a thing of the bygone days. We do not talk of an ideal policeman, an ideal businessman, an ideal government officer, an ideal ticket checker, an ideal father, son or daughter, even an ideal teacher. Only two persons have been considered in the category of being ideal – the ideal housewife and the ideal students. All others are considered good or tolerate even if they are corrupt. If they bring money they are good. ‘Sarvegunah Kanchanmashryante’. But a student and a housewife won’t be spared if they are corrupt. Idealism is their monopoly alone. A solitary soul cannot be ideal. An ideal student would participate in extracurricular activities. The burden of national obligations is also coming earlier on the shoulders of young men. So, it is advisable to start thinking about the social, economic and political activities. Even participation in political activities would mould the character of a young boy.
