They are not really experts. They preside over an obsolete system, preaching politically correct truisms.
When I was in the process of setting up The Levelfield School in Suri, a small town in West Bengal, I had to face many questions.
Some questioned my “foolhardiness” in leaving a high-paying job to set up a school. They would ask me with superficial politeness, “Why did you leave your job and come here?” But their tone was always probing – “What’s wrong with you? Did you get fired or something?” Some were not probing, but their voices were full of sympathy at my supposed misfortune due to which I had to embark on this “ignominious” journey.
