Education
Lothoo did not get formal school education as Jagirdars had prohibited it for the sons of farmers during British Raj. There was a severe penalty for activities of spreading education. Even the touching of Vedas and Puranas by farming communities was treated as offense. The farmers were badly oppressed and exploited by Jagirdars. Lathoo could get some knowledge of Hindi without being coming into the notice of Jagirdars. He could get even a little knowledge of English also.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“To me education is a leading out of what is already there in the pupil’s soul. To Miss Mackay it is a putting in of something that is not there, and that is not what I call education, I call it intrusion.”
—Muriel Spark (b. 1918)
“A good education ought to help people to become both more receptive to and more discriminating about the world: seeing, feeling, and understanding more, yet sorting the pertinent from the irrelevant with an ever finer touch, increasingly able to integrate what they see and to make meaning of it in ways that enhance their ability to go on growing.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
“It is hardly surprising that children should enthusiastically start their education at an early age with the Absolute Knowledge of computer science; while they are unable to read, for reading demands making judgments at every line.... Conversation is almost dead, and soon so too will be those who knew how to speak.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
