India's geniuses
Today’s children are tomorrow’s future. And it’s is quite evident considering the several young achievers our country has. Few days back, a media report suggested that India has the largest number of child prodigies in the world.
The list of India’s amazing kids comprises of a few well known and a few lesser known names like five-year-old Satya Narayanan, a maestro on the keyboard, 13-year-old Aditya Kishore Patil, a wiz at software engineering and 10-year-old Tanvi Taneja, a genius at Bharatnatyam.
And the recently spotted Aman Rehman, who is just eight years old and has already created more than 10,000 animation films. In his home town, Dehradun, people call him little Bill Gates.
And then there are bigger names like Shakuntla Devi, the math wizard, whose talent was recognised at the age of three and Tiger Woods, who won the Optimist International Junior tournament at age eight.
So, it can be said that our nation has no dearth of talent and potential. Then where are we using it? A pretty useful and tough question. Virtually, India is doing nothing to utilise these talents.
Recently, a Class XII student from Shillong designed a very simple and effective method to combat terrorists, without utilising much resources and time. He has made a simple model that had a machine gun mounted at the top of CCTV cameras, usually installed at security sensitive zones.
The genius has also made a model of an unmanned light aircraft using only plastic, which he said, can not only precisely target enemy locations, but can also be of immense use during disbursement of relief materials to flood victims.
Another young scientist from Uttar Pradesh has found a ’miraculous moss’ to take care of injured soldiers.
These and many other such mind boggling plans are floating in the minds of million young Indians. If properly executed, plans made by these children can be of great help in combating terrorism. Perhaps, it is high time for India to harness the immense knowledge these kids have been bestowed with. Who knows their ’childish’ ideas may actually save thousands of lives.
