Write 'Jai Shri Ram' To Pass An Exam!

By Sumit Paul, New Age Islam 29 April 2024 Four DPharma (Diploma in Pharmacy) students of UP’s state-run Veer Bahadur Singh Purvanchal (VBSP) University in Jaunpur who wrote nothing but “Jai Shri Ram” and the names of some star cricketers in a recent exam were awarded 50% marks. The bizarre disclosure through RTI prompted a probe and re-examination that led to the four getting zero marks. The probe panel has recommended that two teachers who gave the 50% marks be sacked. However unprincipled BJP's agenda may be, it seems to resonate with people's wishes. By Ghulam Mohiyuddin 27/04/2024 23:57:15 Read the shameful news item and then read Mr Ghulam Muhyiddin’s comment. Agreed, the current political dispensation is outright unscrupulous, but for the survival of such an unethical political outfit, extremely religious, moronic, grovelling and fanatic masses are also required. The students who wrote 'Jai Shri Ram' in their answer scripts and the teachers who passed them, constitute the people (read Hindus) of India. Because of such prostrating (Hindu) zealots, a PM of the country can openly call Muslims 'Infiltrators' with 'more children.' Reporting from Delhi, Mujib Mashal of The NY Times writes, "Why did Modi call India's Muslims 'Infiltrators'? Because he could." Yes, you can, when you've hordes of genuflecting people who call you the 'saviour' of Indian democracy and a 'crusader' of Hindutva. When there are 'educated' people who shamelessly declare on TV that India got true freedom when Modi became the PM in 2014, you can jolly well understand why the stupid (Hindu) masses don't react or protest when such incendiary statements openly vilify a large section of people. People get the government they deserve. Hindus support this government because it gave them Ram Mandir and humiliated Muslims. I had better start reading Ramayana and chanting Jai Sri Ram in public to survive in a soon-to-become Hindu Rashtra! By the way, I've a copy of Ramayana (Baab-e-Ramayana; a chapter from Ramayana) written in Urdu by Brij Narayan 'Chakbast' (1882-1926). I first read Ramayana in Urdu and after that, I got hold of a copy of Valmiki's Ramayana in Sanskrit. Are today's Sanatanis aware of Pandit Brij Narayan Chakbast's Ramayana? He was a Kashmiri Pandit hailing from Lucknow. But who cares? I also read Abdul Qadir Bada'uni's Persian Ramayana. He translated Ramayana into Persian in accordance with the wishes of Akbar. Jai Shri Ram. ----- A regular columnist for New Age Islam, Sumit Paul is a researcher in comparative religions, with special reference to Islam.
