Although, education is the backbone of any economy in India people who are educated are either on the brink of leaving a less happy life or rather one could say flashy as compared to less educated. Since, India is a country where people give more emphasis to satisfying their needs of food, clothing, and shelter along with above all the sexual needs it gives a lesser effect on the mind of people to continue with education.
If I remember one of my teacher's sayings about Sri Ramanujam he after coming from the U.K. felt the same rejection by the community although he has given much theoretical resolution to many solutions in mathematics. The same happened with Dr. B.R. Ambedkar as most of the time rued about the kind of respect he got during his visit to foreign lands.
The only foremost reason for this particular way of the aspect which says that people in India gives less value to the educated lot is maybe because of the following reasons:
Women's education is not a priority: In India when it comes to higher studies women are not given priority and neither they are interested in making their career into education. Although, things have changed since the past 15 years but still the scenario is that the woman who gets educated does not give priority to the menfolk and considers themselves superior which makes their growth negligent and not worthy.
Ethnic factor: With much of the population who are into the categories of labor and other particular ways their tendency is to fulfill the needs of the stomach and they do not give emphasis on educating themselves or the upcoming generation and it hampers the growth of educating themselves.
Emulating the western world: The western world is less educated as compared to East but for many years when India and China were a part of the educated countries and still they just could not transform the country into the thought of education for prevailing in every part of society. On the other hand, India started emulating the Western world too soon where need-based education is the prime way to continue with life.
Glamour world including Bollywood and Cricket destroyed the nation in terms of education: People like Kamal Hasan and many other South Indian actors who were found to be only educated till Class Xth continued with the legacy of crippling the thoughts of further educating the masses but turned them into a venomous society to create hatred against those people who are educated.
Jealousy factor: With jealousy being the main way to demean each other and many who love to continue with education no mater how are treated with bad vibes but those who love to sell themselves by flaunting their assets are given priority which leads to getting a defunct society devoid of education.
Now, hopefully with India getting back to a society of tillers and technicians along with the class which loves to use manpower in an extensive way all those small but the lovers of education may still continue to lit the lamp of education so that the person who may look different and understand the value of education may get the right path to carry on with better ways will rise the thought of education to the people and thus helping the country with vivid thoughts and expressions about "live and let live".
