The evil IMHO starts with the school leaving age. There appears a big big disconnect between the schooling and the real world. I am a very literate person, I realise now, about midway through my life (fingers crossed), that I tend to take things a bit (too) literally, perhaps, for the country I was born in. This chasm (of the disconnect) manifests itself gigantically in a dysfunctional (or functional chaos?) country like India. All is well till about the first 10 years of school, other than making you repeat some stuff to make sure you do get it.
