Rajiv Desai wrote: What's more, parents fail to understand that "success" does not come just being "well educated." The most important thing is for their children to be "well bred." This means that their children should not just be knowledgeable and bright but aware of their civic responsibilities: don't drive like lunatics, don't litter, don't pee in public, give a thought for others and be courteous.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I love reading Rajiv Desai's articles. He is one of the sanest voices I have read and I will never miss reading them when they appear. Please do write more frequently. Thank God he lives in India, otherwise he would be accused of "looking down on Indians" or worse still he might have had to hear a long, moralising, sermonising lecture on the many vices of prejudgement and prejudice. Then again perhaps those are only reserved for people with Portuguese sounding names. I wonder if hypocrisy too is a vice?
