Recently everyone from TamilNadu talks about “CBSE” itself, mentioning an extract regarding Rajini(pasting the same above). It just set me thinking and no offence to anyone.

The forwards say something like “An abstract of the early life of Our Super Star Rajinikanth's has been included in the syllabus of 6th standard school children….. Note that, it's not in the state board syllabus, but CBSE Central board syllabus, under the heading 'Dignity of Work'……………….”

Well for at least two things I find this interesting. One is the stress on “CBSE” syllabus itself mentioning about Rajini and the second thing is the title was not “Rajini” but “dignity of work” and just because Rajini is mentioned there, people associate the two, completely ignoring the other character in the passage, just like the movie “chandramukhi”

I don’t dislike Rajini but at the same time, just because he appears somewhere, I don’t like the undue credit given to him, I feel Rajini himself, would not like that.

The passage tells about how his friend supported him when he was down and how he became a history later on, but we completely ignore the first part and I think that is the reason why there is only one Rajini.

I was telling my friend that sometimes description overshadows the content and nowadays no one wants to look for the content .CBSE never keeps a straight passage. I was a good student in my class and most of the times I scored well in English. I was in CBSE and I feel the others did not score because they didn’t see the content. If descriptions overshadow content, Glamour overshadows even descriptions. It is pretty dangerous, it makes us forget that we are “humans” and no human value is appreciated in front of it.

If “CBSE” intended to talk about Rajini then in that case, in the “evaluate” section why is all the questions regarding the “obscure” normal “faceless” person ?But the one good thing is , everyone is happy that “Rajini” was mentioned in a CBSE textbook, acknowledging the importance of good education.

If only people don’t just go by fancy words and look for the fine prints in everything, India would be a better place and no one would want to leave that country and go after developed countries, most of which has thousands of “rajini’s” in their country already.

People who are famous are to be appreciated for their work and sincerity and more than them the people who identify them when they were “obscure” are more important according to me.

By just looking at one Rajini, One Tagore and One Theresa, people don’t look around for people like them ,in between them and those people loose the opportunity of a friend, like Rajini had.Evenetually, we are neither becoming Rajini nor Raja bahadur.
