Why American Kid should should worry about competition from Indian Child

Few weeks back while in my home town I meet mother of my child hood friend of my locality. After talking to her I realize how much really India has changed in last decade and why US should really worry. My friend is from Marwari merchant family. They have a cloth shop in a town. In term of education my friend or his sibling barely passes 12th. Till last generation for them, the education means to have basic understanding of math so that they can manage their account and business. But after coming to know her grandchildren children qualification, I was surprised first and then amazed to know how fast India changed just in a decade or so. One of her granddaughter is practicing CA and other one is professor in a college. This is a sea change in a single generation for a family were male member barely pass 12th and daughter are married as soon they are cross legal age for marriage. It point to basic change in attitude in all section of Society in country, in respect of caste, creed or profession now understand the importance of education. We can crib and surely debate about quality in ton of engineering colleges across of every corner of the country. But at the same time with should really appreciate the fact that this college have become instrument of fulfilling the aspiration of lot of parent in hinter land who can’t fulfill their dream due scarcity of resource during their time. Now I can understand Mr. Obama worry when he asks American Kids to get ready to compete with children from Mumbai and Bangalore. Well now Mr. Obama says to American Kids that they not only required to compete with the children from mega city of India, but also from the small town like Durg or Amravathi.
