Anand Mahindra On How British Education Affected Colonized Countries: “What Goes Around, Comes Around”
Anand Mahindra, an industrialist, frequently posts inspirational films and remarks on social media. This time, Mahindra Group Chairman informed his 9.7 million followers of how colonized nations have been impacted by British education. Mr. Mahindra posted audio of a sketch performed by stand-up comedian Daliso Chaponda, who resides in England.
Along with the audio clip, Mr. Mahindra commented, “Flawless logic…. What goes around, comes around…” In the audio clip, Mr. Chaponda who was educated in British-run institutions in African countries such as Zambia, Somalia, and Kenya claimed that he has been taught English, French, and Latin in his school. In contrast, native languages like Swahili and Somali were being ignored.
Mr. Chaponda was asked why so many immigrants came to our country after he indicated that he migrated to England ten years ago. Well, you spent decades telling me it was the best place, he retorted. Where did you anticipate I would go?
Recently, Mr. Mahindra shared a beautiful anecdote about a teacher who according to him achieved what all noble teachers dream for.
Bilaspur students left heartbroken after science teacher’s transfer; take out a rally, read the headline of a media report that Mr. Mahindra retweeted. He stated in the caption that if the story is true, then this teacher appears to have attained what all admirable teachers aspire to, which is not fame or fortune but rather the respect and adoration of their pupils.
The businessman put the man forward for “Teacher of the Year.” He added that he serves as his “Monday Motivation.”
