Nobody exists on purpose.
We are brought as players into a game that was rigged a long time ago. They teach history at school and make it as boring as possible so that we don't question the relevant portions that went into sculpting the culture that we are born into.
In the case of Kerala, nothing is taught about how five brothers used to share a single wife, or the atrocities of caste based discrimination. Instead we're force fed a vague international historic perspective which is also watered down to leave out the Final Solution. The tutors might be afraid that one of the disciples will take a leaf from out of that lesson and try applying it to their caste based culture.
A short period of time, less than a century is what an average person is endowed with in order to make sense of his temporary existence. He is put into a box not of his making so that minimal change is applied to the status quo. Conquest of philosophy does not contribute anything to the GDP of a state and so the educational factory produces compliant worker drones. Wasting their time away breeding and slaving away for frog-chinned politicians who ironically refuse to educate their children in the state controlled institutions, instead opting to send their offspring to foreign developed nations.
