India would've gone the China-way in economic development. FYI, if there is a public meeting organized by a certain party in Chennai, over 50-60K people gather and attend the same, creating massive traffic jams for hours together for the whole day. It is hard to find even a single learned person (out of the 60k!) in those public gatherings. So, it is a simple rule that a party's vote bank is governed by the number of uneducated jobless men and women with a narrow mindset.<br><br>There are quite a few public libraries in Chennai (like the Connemera Library, Egmore), and a number of non-profit organizations offering free education. However, they are outnumbered given the number of people in need of such education.<br><br>There are a large number of religious leaders who run prestigious colleges/schools and even Universities. However, they cater to the sect of people who have money or those who can just afford such education, keeping the ROI under consideration. Otherwise, the notorious religious leaders practicing fanaticism and vandalism never do such good things of helping the needy.

Are there public libraries in Chennai? Other sources for self-education? Would/could religious leaders help with any of this? I couldn't help notice that many of your points are educationally based.
