Mysuru:“Western education per se is not bad but the way it is being implemented in India is bad and the way we are aping Western culture can put anybody to shame,” said former Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) T.S. Krishna Murthy. He was delivering the Foundation Day Lecture at Sri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara Institute of Management Development (SDM-IMD) in city yesterday.
“Instead of adopting positive features of Western education and culture, we are blindly following whatever is negative. India is a sea of opportunities and those who say India has no future are oblivious of facts,” he said and added that hero worship must be discouraged at any cost. India has enormous opportunities for people in all walks of life, he said.
