Fallacies in Prof. Yashpal Committee on Higher Education

There are many but I am taking only two in this post that is one is on ‘higher education and caste’ and another one is on ‘social justice’. The Yashapl report argues:

  • “higher education was increasingly perceived as a means to overcome caste and class hierarchy, patriarchy and other cultural prejudices and also a source of new knowledge and skills, a space for creativity and innovations. Higher education, therefore, was and continues to be considered a national responsibility and the state has to make necessary provisions to realize its potentials.” (p.11)

When The State is an empty stump in creating of knowledge how it going to create is a not a question for winning Nobel Prize? But ponder how The State lives without the knowledge which actually with million of people.

  • “An under-regulated system encourages exploitation, contributions to disorder and erosion of social justice.” (p.51)

It is totally nonsense, just see how the under regulated Telephone connections, electricity meters, cars, scooters,” sector have performed in the past.

Even the word ‘social justice’ has no meaning at all. See here for more on F A Hayek ideas.
