The articles are varied ..... I have read (only) 6 of them and liked this piece the most. Indeed I have also seen news like this (IIT and JEE being made easier) and as a student thought that these were good news !! Now after reading your article I feel different. It is not often that I come across articles that truely changes my ideas and beliefs. Thanks for such a nice article. I was trying to organize my bookmarks and got the link to your blog.

There are cram centres in some cities in North India that get students prepared for these exams. There has also been a paper leak scandal. Anecdotes from those who have taught at IITs have told me about students who are not of that good calibre. A revamp of the exams is certainly necessary. yum yum IIT exams have become easier to crack through cramming.

But if you petition government and speak the right words (and perhaps share your riches with amenable officials), you might get your wish.

There is no controversy over your discontent with the HRD decision but I wonder why you dragged the President’s message in between. I really agree with his point that one big solution for the “chalta hai” attitude of our people is they don’t think big about themselves as well as about their country (omit “themselves”). We, the same people never dare to say “chalta hai” in developed countries…may be its temporary syndrome but we need to incorporate this disorder in day to day life!

One can remember that after the 2004 Tsunami, India refused to accept foreign aid as India wants to project herself as a developed nation. Unfortunately many of the affected poor people are still waiting for their homes to be rebuilt. Good article indeed.
