Are you an idiot?

Dear Lady on a popular Tamil debate show on a Tamil TV channel who asked indignantly if any of the school owners were providing education as a service (and the general public, who, for the most part share aforementioned lady's opinion),


Education is your birth right. Healthcare is your birth right. These are promised to you by the Government of India, so claim these rights from the Government and the organizations of the Government that are appointed to dispense these rights, namely Corporation schools and Government hospitals. Do not come to private educational institutions or healthcare institutions and demand quality education and healthcare for free. The employees of the private institutions(and, in fact, the owners) can't feed their stomachs or the stomachs of their children with your blessings.


Stop using the excuse of teachers and doctors being holy. 100 years ago, a teacher or a doctor would've been able to get anything, from free bus rides, to driving licenses, to food, by virtue of their professions. Now, the thought is laughable.


Healthcare is a business. Education is a business. Neither should cost more than they're worth, and that should be regulated. But a profit motive does not make anybody evil. Learn to deal with the fact that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Not for you, and not for us. Learn to pay for services rendered.

Stop being such a bloody hypocrite, and dispense with your attitude of entitlement.


Best Regards.
