Child geniuses should be encouraged and age restrictions should not be a qualifying factor.

👆 The above is the article I found on the internet where a boy right in his childhood had the appetite to learn, understand and do something that even the adults found difficult. Of course we do have skilled qualified surgeons who went to medical college following the various admission procedures, but this guy was good too. When skilled qualified surgeons refused to take up the surgery, the burns-affected woman went to him, when he, still a child decided to help her. And the surgery was successful. Currently at age 23 he is studying in IIT Kanpur.

     I know about some other geniuses too. 

👉 Chetan Bhagat, the famous Indian writer did engineering from IIT Delhi, management post-grad from IIM-Ahmedabad, worked in the finance sector in Goldman Sachs and now is in a totally different field- writing stories. 

👉 Warren Buffett started investing in the share market when he was 11. Now, still this old man is working in the field of Finance and is a very successful multi-billionaire.

👉 Steve Jobs and Bill Gates founded their respective companies Apple and Microsoft while they were still in college. The passion and the dedication to make it big in the computer industry was so high that they quit their academics mid-way. Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook was also a Harvard University dropout. India's renowned physicist C V Raman was also a man who went above the age restriction in the education system.

    The above are the facts which everyone can check on the internet. It's my gut-feeling now, especially with the advent of the internet, that with the right kind of guidance and dedication even the indian kids can be proven geniuses. The Indian government, State or Centre should think in this direction too, and relax certain hardbound rules to encourage more child-geniuses. I don't think it is that difficult or that unadvisable or wrong. 🤔🤔🤔
