BCS tragedy
“Believe it or not, I qualified in the BCS examination not by reading but by leaking the question papers and by political connection. So I know a little English. Throughout my student life I yielded weapons as a cadre so if you want to learn that, come to me” said one of the government college English teachers to the students without feeling any compunction. I personally know about many BCS Cadres who find comfortable mixing with drunkards and miscreants rather than with the enlightened. Then to confirm my conviction came the report-“A total of 3295 (20.11%) of candidates appearing at the 18th BCS examination (held in 1996-97) got zero in English, even though some of them qualified for BCS posts”.
So if this goes on unabated, I shudder to anticipate the consequences. Will the Prime Minister do something to salvage the country by putting merit above 'mama khalu' affiliation in all respects?
