I would like to recall my student days in St. Joseph?s College, Trichy. We used to have a moral science class taught by Rev Father Rector. He was the highest in the hierarchy of the Jesuit system. He used to teach us one hour every week about great spiritual leaders, religious leaders, renowned scientists and above all good human beings in the society. I am convinced that what I learnt in that class of moral science stands by me even today. Introduction of such courses called ?Elevating Young Minds? in the schools and colleges at least once in a week and discuss the great personalities from Hinduism, Islam, Christianity and other religions. In addition, it can include the discussion on great human beings such as Confucius, Buddha, St. Augustine, Kalifa Omar, Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindra Nath Tagore, Einstein, Abraham Lincoln and moral stories linked to our civilizational heritage. These classes can definitely inject the patriotism among the students.
