Ingrazy means "Educated"!

There is a fancy amidst those innocent village folk, to call anyone who can flash a couple of English words as educated!
The asker has invoked a deeper look at even those certified educated, when they do not behave cohesively, in parlance to the degrees that they have been ‘awarded’ in recognition to their academic performances, and, despite the oath they take during convocation!
I thought it would be wiser to snatch away the ‘extended’ meaning of the word educated, and reassign it to that lesser important word ‘literate’ instead, to satisfy that asker friend. We are ‘nobody’ to take back the awarded degree! For that matter, we are helpless to even deal with those self-styled-Gurus!!

What would be your ‘take’ at it?

Is education solution for all?
But even educated person also lack in social awareness,even educated person are more selfish,not treated the women equally, asking dowry(not applicable for western people) ,lack of bravery,etc,etc,....then how can we say education is the solution for all? Where is the lacking?

Please let us not confuse education with literacy!The great mathematician Ramanujam, introduced his mother to his foreign visitor professor-friend, saying "This is my mother, well educated but not literate"!Literacy is an essential ingredient of education. Mainly because the purpose of education is to be more effective, productive and useful in a society. For this communication is essential. And this communication needs literacy. This literacy is essentially the language well understood by others, not a foreign jargon! Same is true for all sciences like maths, physics, chemistry, economics etc. For instance, even today, we struggle to grasp the "Vedic Mathematics" which is supposed to be very advanced one than what we learn in modern schools, but we are not “literate” enough in the concepts of the language and the application of that language which has "embedded" in a very high complexity, the multiple variations of intricate formulae! That is EXACTLY why the formulae in Vedic mathematics are called "Sutras" (literally sutra means a thread, using which a person can weave any type of garland with any kind of flowers! Like the thread, the sutras of vedic mathematics find very very deep applicability, and is available to Challenge the perceptional skills of the student, professor etc!!!!). We can try to look at literacy thus, and can distinguish education easily!
