Should we blame racism for the state of education in India?

And the same views I am about to share in this post.

Instead, they relate to whether any real difference exists in the quality of education in India viz-a-viz Europe or the US. And if it does, where are the reasons probably rooted? Has it got something to with races? Is racism a reality? Does it still exist?

There is no dearth of talent in any race or caste. But we have somehow failed to put a innovation driven education system in place. Regards. Rupesh
