Indian Education from the Movie “Starting Line” and “3 Idiots”
* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
With social and economic development, people are no longer just satisfied with food and clothing, and very many parents are focusing on the education of their offspring. This education boom has even led to numerous family anxieties. This paper analyzes the educational issues in two Indian films ‘Starting Line’ and ‘3 Idiots’, including the main causes of educational anxiety from these two films and the underlying problem of educational injustice. The author believes that the educational anxiety in ‘Starting Line’ is essentially the anxiety of the protagonist’s family as a middle-class family about their children’s future and the anxiety brought about by the social education involution atmosphere, while the anxiety in ‘3 Idiots’ mainly comes from family responsibilities the main character holds and the need to make a living, while both films reflect that the solidification of class monopoly is the root cause of educational injustice.
