OPINION
Really speaking there is no advantage in co-education. in those days , therewere not many girls in India who were sent to schools . so a separate institution for girls was not viable . so a few girls were admitted to the boy's school. in those days , girls attending boy's school did not even talk to boy's much and boy's also did not interact with the girls . With the increase in the number of girls attending schools , separate schools for girls were created in to some extend wherever the local bodies and local Governments and some private Philanthropic institutions found it convenient . Though during the British rule the opportunity provided an opportunity for modern education , the impact of their culture had a deleterious effect on the culture of the educated masses . It was the so-called learned people who first started neglecting our culture. The culture of any community depends and is solely influenced by the climate and environment of the region where the people live . So also their social habits are influenced by their respective environment . The British being used to a climate and environment totally different from ours , used to introduce and favour their own culture here , simply by virtue of the advantage they had as rulers of the country. It was easy for any nomadic tribe or foreign tribes even to invade India as the natives lacked unity and were ready too help any outsider to conquer and subjugate his neighbors so it was easy for the Nomadic Arabs and Mongolian tribes men to invade India a and subjugate the people and impose their culture here. It happened because of the lack of sense of unity and the existence of prejudices on the basis of languages and castes . Even today it is not much improved in this respect .
Now coming to co-education, definitely there is no special advantage in so far as development of knowledge and culture is concerned . on the contrary , it is seen that most of the boy's spent more of their times in dreaming about girls and running after them like the dogs running after the girls and do not concentrate on their studies . there is absolutely no need for the boys to know anything about the girls when they are studying . but girls as is endowed by nature do not run after the boys . may be there may be some exception on account of the corruptive influence of the west . We see that it is girls who do best in the studies all over India . Because , the girls have better parental control and better sense of responsibilities and their minds are so much corrupt as those of boys .The boys spent their mind in thinking of the girl's anatomy and run after them in groups that reminds the running of the dogs in the winter season. the animals are better when compared to the humans . they run after the females only when it's time for procreation . But the humans always think about sex only . They do not know anything about sex because they think about it while they are not supposed to think about it and when they are required to prepare themselves for a healthy life , they lose even the little health they have . Even among the animals you do not see the females species running after the males . It is only the males who run after the females and spend their entire time in the process forgetting and neglecting what is important in life . such people in life is also prove to be incapable of having a healthy family life because of the dissipation of health and mind at a time they have to build it up.
Our culture does not require the girls to get hold of some boy or other even when they have not even completed sixteen years. In western countries , you see single mothers and bastards and fatherless children and husband less mothers . It will be pathetic to see an young girls of 15 or sixteen carrying a baby in her hand seeking some menial job to maintain herself and the baby. There are single mothers and same sex partners which you do not see even among animals. these are not the the indication of the development of culture but the rot of culture.
another thing is that the need for the sex education is felt only for the humans and the scheme intended to save the health of the people leads to deterioration of the culture of the people . the animals have better sex habits and they do not require any teaching in this regard as their practices are really natural and healthy. Their minds are not steeped in sexual thoughts as in the case of the foolish humans . The animals think of sex only when they are in heat , when their body get the hormonal signal for having it for procreation . they forget it the moment their body is free of the urge. But humans do not know their limits. Education is not simply boy's knowing the anatomy of girls and girls knowing the anatomy of the boys . It is development of knowledge about the facts of life and every natural phenomena and the principles behind them.
All that is artificial in this world is only an application of the principles of nature . We have not created any new principles or laws . We have only found out what nature is doing already and discovered its laws of operation and apply them for our use.
Sex is not to be taught like preparing some meal or cake . it is some thing to be experienced and felt naturally in its pristine , healthy and sacred procreative process. It is comes to people just like they started suckling the breast of their mother for milk without anybody telling them to suckle .Only then the humans enjoy the pristine healthy union. It is not to e used like eating junk food on the way side at all and odd times.
The Hindu philosophy having explored the nature of life e in this planet has studied the effect of the cosmic rays and gravitational forces acting on the planet earth and all the lives on the planet made of the elements of the planet . if the rays could act on the entire massive planet and keep it in an orbit and cause changes in the climate and environment and growth of the plants and animals , they should b affecting the minds of the living beings also and this would reflect on their character and behaviour . It as why the Hindu religion considered procreation as a sacred act of creation and prescribed specific times when the planetary influences on the earth are conducive to the creation of a life free from defects of mind and body . This was the reason for the existence of well-behaved and highly disciplined and highly intellectual humans in th ancient society in India. That was not the case with the foreign countries .They had people like animals and in mind and behavior .It as because their climate was not so very conducive for the development of life as in the climate that prevailed in most of the torrid zones.
the separation of boys and girls at the early stage of their development will certainly be good for the mental and physical development of th society and th improvement of their potential and brain power which are likely and very much likely to be dissipated when their energies are very much needed for their development . Co-education is disadvantageous .for both the boys and the girls . It destroys the culture of the human society
