you missed the weasel keywords "shall endeavour". > since we're 50 years late on this, free education in india for anything > more than primary education is a real pipe dream! constitutionally ingrained weasel keywords allows any govt. to continue the pipe dream for the next 500 years. If the education quality in state/govt schools sucks big-time, bringing every school under that sucky umbrella will force each parent to demand better education quality and hence hopefully usher in change. > (let's build more bombs instead) sometimes needed to hold the fort and in a twisted way can be used to bargain for peace. In an imaginary situation, with no kids India wont need schools either. .
