ONCE THE 10th BOARD EXAMS ARE FINISHED, EVERYONE IS CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT STREAM YOU ARE GOING TO CHOOSE, AND ONCE YOU SAY HUMANITIES (ARTS) PEOPLE WILL MAKE FACES LIKE A ROTTEN BANANA. THEN THEIR REPLY WILL BE “WHY HUMANITIES?? IF YOU HAVE'NT GOT ENOUGH MARKS TO OPT SCIENCE THEN AT LEAST GO FOR COMMERCE , BUT NOT ARTS (EWWWW…). " 

BUT THEY NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT IT DOES NOT ONLY DEPEND ON MARKS OBTAINED IN 10th BUT ALSO WHAT A STUDENT LIKES TO STUDY AND DO IN LIFE. PEOPLE THINK, THE PATH OR THE STREAM STUDENTS CHOOSE AFTER MATRICULATION SHOWS THEIR INTELLIGENCE AND WHO OPT FOR SCIENCE ARE CONSIDERED MORE PRAISEWORTHY THAN OTHERS. ALSO IN OLDER DAYS HUMANITIES WAS CHOSEN BY THOSE PUPIL WHO WERE NOT MUCH INTERESTED IN STUDIES AND DID NOT HAD ANY PROPER GOAL IN LIFE OR WOMEN WHO WERE SOON TO BE MARRIED AND NEED NOT STAND ON THEIR OWN FEET AND PROVE THEMSELVES. AND THIS WAS BECAUSE THEIR WERE LACK OF OPPORTUNITIES IN THE STREAM. IT MAY BE ALSO BECAUSE SCIENCE AND COMMERCE OFFER HIGHER STATUS AND FASTER INCOME IN THE SOCIETY.

BUT IN TODAY'S WORLD THEIR ARE MANY GOOD CARRIER OPTIONS APART FROM BEING DOCTOR OR ENGINEER. THEN AGAIN IT IS NOT NECESSARY THAT EVERY HUMANITIES STUDENT EITHER WILL STUDY LAW OR DO MBA AFTER GRADUATION. THEIR ARE MANY OTHER CARRIER OPTIONS LIKE- FASHION DESIGNING, JOURNALISM, CULINARY ARTS, FOOD PACKAGING, EVENT MANAGEMENT AND SO ON….

WON'T SAY THAT THIS STEREOTYPE IS NOT BROKEN BUT ONLY IN LARGE OR METRO CITIES. IN SMALL CITIES AND VILLAGES THE TRADITION OF HATING AND UNDERESTIMATING A HUMANITIES STUDENT IN COMPARISON TO OTHERS IS STILL PROUDLY MAINTAINED. FACING THIS CONTINUOUSLY, LOWERS THE SELF CONFIDENCE OF THE STUDENT AND THEY TEND TO FEEL WORTHLESS AND THIS CERTAINLY LEADS THEM TO GO INTO DEPRESSION.

NOT ONLY HUMANITIES BUT ALSO STUDENTS OF COMMERCE ARE ALSO THOUGHT TO BE UNDERACHIEVER. THOUGH THEY ARE NOT THOUGHT AS INFERIOR AS HUMANITIES STUDENTS BUT ARE STILL HATED TO SOME EXTENT. COMMERCE STUDENT BECOME THE CREAM OF THE CREAM BISCUIT THEY ARE NEITHER AT THE ZENITH NOR AT THE NADIR.

BUT TO RUN A COUNTRY SMOOTHLY EXPERTS FROM ALL THREE BACKGROUNDS (SCIENCE, COMMERCE, ARTS) ARE REQUIRED. LIKE - A PERSON WITH GOOD KNOWLEDGE OF

 POLITICS AND A DEFENSE  FROM ARTS BACKGROUND

BUSINESS AND FINANCE FROM COMMERCE STREAM

AN ENGINEER AND DOCTOR FROM SCIENCE STREAM

THUS, ALL THE STREAMS NEED TO BE TOGETHER IN LEADING A PROPER LIFE BY NOT UNDERESTIMATING EACH OTHER.THIS WILL BE NOT ONLY GOOD FOR US AND OUR COUNTRY BUT ALSO FOR OUR FUTURE GENERATION.CAN'T REALLY UNDERSTAND WHY DO WE STILL NEED TO DISCRIMINATE BETWEEN THE STREAMS STILL IN SUCH A TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED WORLD????
