That Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya scheme—reminds me of the time my youngest nephew, fresh from the Imphal valley, went to a “model school” in Delhi and came back unable to tell me the difference between a lokta leaf and a lotus. They teach them English and computers, sure, but my loom has been teaching my hands for forty years without a single textbook, and my son in Guwahati still calls me every week to ask how to fix a broken warp thread. Give a girl a good government school, yes, but do not forget that the real education lives in the rhythm of her mother's bamboo—that is where the patience for a four-year engineering degree comes from, not from a syllabus.
