During the British rule in India the downwards filtration theory
was adopoted in the country for imparting education. Filtration
means coming of something to the botton from the top. i.e education
from the higher class people to the lower classes or the general
people.
Constant interference by Politicians and Bureaucrats made the
system dumb. Indian Government does not have a rigid education
policy. Indian education policy works on two polars. Religion and
Caste system. Competency and calibre is not important to head an
institution.
