A peek into a leak...
A nation wide exam paper got leaked (not so neatly) and was in news after the exam was concluded. Few people got berserk, started new parties online, did uncalled for strikes on roads and then a popular figure got to hunger strike demanding the concerned minister's resignation, ban of the exam and a discussion in parliament on the same (and..?). In due course, after more than two weeks into that hunger strike; some so called celebrities, cockroaches (as self-proclaimed) and/or clowns felt the need to support it and started all kinds of probable circus (offline - walks and talks, online - twitter, insta, et al); and all this while, the person's health deteriorated (for obvious reasons) and his family started urging him and the govt. to shift to hospital for treatment. The person then being forcefully moved to hospital (for his own good and life); stated the strike continues even from the hospital bed (and..?). Because his current wife is self-sustained and he has no kids (from both marriages known), does he not have any responsibility towards his family? his organization? does he want to emulate other personalities like Mr.Sriramulu or Mr.Gandhi (similarity in only the strike mode and none other) or just be like his father (probably agreeing with him atleast on one point)? Because of his strike and agitation, there were other similar agitations called for in other places of the country - and for a sample, in one of the cities, the whole public commuting road was blocked because of the parade and people who participated, parked their vehicles haywire on the roads (where is the good sense - common, civic, moral or otherwise). And many who participated, commuted on the vehicles (especially on 2W) with no helmets (no safety measures for self and no responsibility towards their families) and holding huge placards, flags causing inconvenience to those commuting next for their daily routine (again, does it make any sense? none to me).
During this whole event, the concerned exam results were announced and many students and their families celebrated them, few hoping that their lives will change now. So, what if, any of the persons from those families sit on such strike and call against the ban of the exam? Will they be supported? There are students who worked/working hard to earn their daily food, in places like lime-stone quarry, as sanitation workers, did/doing odd jobs on daily wages; and were unknown of any of the leaked paper(s)/questions and gave the exam on their own merit; what about their hardships, sacrifices, credibility? And, with the paper leak, how many really got the advantage? how much percentage of the exam process got compromised? how many (students, management, administrators) got benefitted and how? And, if the exam needs to be banned, how would the selections happen (on what basis or criteria)? If it gets to be reconducted, what happens to the efforts put in by those above stated hardworking students/families and what would be their compensation? The so called 'I's of India (Ignorants or Idiots or Inappropriates but not the Intellectuals in any way) who support, rally behind and stand by such agitations and hunger strikes; do they really care for it? (seems very remote to me).
And such agitators or hunger-strikers may also ask for banning PSCs and relevant exams in future, to ban the existing governance and the so called 'C's and 'I's again would come up to support them, stating they could not stay calm for long; despite knowing little or nothing about the 'G' of governance. People who question the current ways of existing government in the centre; do they really propose or have any alternative (other than those showing/giving hand)? Or is it the only alternative they want to pursue and get the opposite of pro-gress? (are the pros and cons thought through and justified? I guess not and would be happy to be proved wrong).
People who are voicing out so hard on this paper leak, why not they see the necessity of infrastructure development, deprived facilities, better requirements in their own local areas and work towards them? Starting small and joining piece by piece, would it not make the impact big and solve the puzzles, if any? Why do their so called inner-voice and intellect not get awaken for those basic needs? Because few of those really do not stay, live in this country and just make it a point of discussion in other countries during a cup of coffee or a game of cricket during relaxation? (and there ends their loyalty, may be).
I totally agree to question the wrong where there is one (and a need); however, I also believe there is way to do so and do it in a more organized and thoughtful way; but the current way just seems a hara-kiri and whether it really meets the target in complete sense, seems a long shot (to me). May the best happen... Hope, is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. God bless all.
P.S: My point of view this is and if anyone gets hurt or otherwise (even without trying to get the gist of it), please pardon and move on. Thank you.
