Teaching profession has lost its sheen , splendor and celestial light with which it was appareled with the passage of time.The highly commodified and corporatised world in which we are dwelling and where worshiping mammon has become the cult is glutted with goods; which can suffice any need but the very dearth of a quality teacher has almost become endemic and is acutely faced by the entire society.Why this sublimest of all subsistence which was once adored and was put on highest pedestal of societal influence has become atrophied and disheveled ?Perhaps answers of these perplexing questions can be conspicuously noticed and attributed to attitudinal changes which has drastically changed the very fabric of our society.Earlier teachers were not only individuals but were more than institutions in themselves and that,s why they enjoyed considerable degree of paramountcy;which was duly acknowledged by the society as at that time it was agrarian and there existed almost an inviolable bond between mentors and their proteges .Now our decadent society because of its multidimensional materialism and mercenary nature is more bothered to make fast buck than to hold in high esteem the very virtuosity of teaching. Does (society)it really cares and dares to reverse this trend and make a retreat to those golden bygone eras where teachers almost preponderated and bestrode like a colossus force not only on other men of flesh and blood but even on Gods ? To, me who is temperamentally studded with streak of pessimism it seems a distant dream as our present society has utterly failed to set in motion the very cog wheels of teaching that was earlier precariously placed on concept of sanctity and sincerity. Now it has dismantled the presiding deity of teaching; which was once enjoyed the iconic status of being the very lifeline of the entire society.To, me this very act of our vulpine society is almost tantamount to a sacrilege and for this it won,t be ever forgiven by our posterity.However, robust optimists will never miss to see a silver lining and they will claim that a Promethean figure will come out and will resurrect it by restoring its much dented dignity.Only time will tell whether i am wrong or right!
