Issue : 94 20 August, 2019 Liberty stretched too far Absolute liberty or independence of- ten tends to dilute the rules and regula- tions and consequently, many times, leads to indiscipline. This is true in most of the spheres of life. Over stretching of the def- inition of liberty is evident in the present society and specifically in the education- al field. The modern day colleges appear more as a get together point for the youths rather than seats of learning. As soon as the students complete their schooling and enter the college, there is inherent feeling amongst stu- dents to break away all the shackles of the school life. Not only they wish to feel liberated, they also feel that they have grown up in life. The idea of cool and ca- sual life of the college campus elates them. The present day consumerism catches fast on them and modern dress- es, mobile phones, bikes and cars, can- teens, parties, etc. tend to become bare minimum needs. For many, education takes a back seat and mere qualifying exams are the ultimate dream.
