India the land of Gurukul and Ekalvya

Teacher's day is at our doorstep. All the educational institutions are preparing for this auspicious day in full swing. Students must be burning midnight oil cramming over the speech that they would deliver in the praise of their teacher. Others must be busy preparing for the cultural show. Teachers would be worshipped on that day resembling the Gurukul tradition of ancient India.
The question arises Can we still boast of the healthy student-teacher relationship that prevailed in those days? Can we still think of sacrifice being made like that of Ekalvya?
Seeing the recent activities in some parts of the country one would definitely give the answer as "NO". Leave aside the question of sacrificing ones life, students are not even ready to obey their master.
In Chandigarh students of MCM DAV Girl's College protested against alleged slapping of a first year student by a teacher over using of cell phone in the campus. They demanded for written apology from the teacher. At last the authorities surrendered before the students and they allowed conditional use of cell phone in the campus.
In Meerut some girl students of Chaudhary Charan Singh University went on rampage and broke into the vice-chancellor's residence damaging property. These students were angry with the vice-chancellor's order to re-examine the examination papers.
And the most horrible of all the incidents was that of Ujjain. Students, protesting against the principal's decision to cancel the student's union election, manhandled professors of Madhav College which led to the dath of Prof. H.S Sabharwal and two other professors were admitted to hospital in critical condition. This incident shocked the entire nation.
Guru Dronacharya, if alive would have definitely wondered what would have happened to him if in today's situation he had asked Ekalvya to chop off his thumb.
Incorporating politics in education has completely overturned the face of education system. Backed by the politicians, the student leaders seldom miss any chance to show their dominance in the campus. If the situation remains the same then the days are not far when the faculties would rarely bother to advise their disciple. Both of them would have their own ways to go and that would really be a grave situation. With the youths having no one to guide India's future would be bleak.
