IIT-JEE and the skirt of Sania

Without wasting words I'll talk straight to the point.

Why IIT-JEE? Absolutely right or approximately right, this system was never wrong. Nothing succeeds like success and IITs have made their mark almost everywhere on the globe. Without world class infrastructure and faculty(Do you know any world class scientist or Nobel Laureate from IITs?) what else has made it so popular if not its students? What was so drastically urgent about the pattern of the exam that attracted the attention of our honorable human resource minister?

Why not primary education? Why not anything else like basic health? Aint they in pitiable conditions? Dont they concern millions of poor people? What else deserves the immediate intervention of govt?

Similarly why Sania? Who is she? An individual, An Indian, or a Muslim? And I've read something like "fundamental rights" and "secular nation" in my book of civics. Shouldnt those who threat the basic tenets of our constitution be punished? Instead of bringing them to books, how about curtailing the freedom and privacy of the girl whose sole folly is her being Indian and successful! Disgraceful!

Why not the thousands of bar girls and prostitutes who also follow the same religion? Dont they need the generosity of their religious leaders? Does Islam approve the exploitation of woman? Perhaps it does. And perhaps it also approves of the terrorism and mass-killings of innocent civillions. Does anyone remember these self-declared guardians of Islam issuing "fatwa" against Dawood Ibrahim who is not only a killer of thousands of his compatriots but also a murderer of already precarious peace and harmony between Hindus and his very own 'brothers'; the brothers who were made to bear the post-blast heat of riots. Isnt he a traitor to his own community? Ok let them decide this for themselves.

I can say more about the specific points pertaining to these topics but I'll abstain from it. It's a trap most people as well as media is falling in. The merits of something is examined only after the scrutiny of the intention that engenders it. Here the only purpose is news-making and nothing else. To be true the imbecile statements issued by the directors of IITs didnt shock me at all. I think they are losers, they are fallen from their ideals and are deployed where they are only beacause of these 'virtues' they have.

For God's sake let IITs and Sania leave alone. They will make the nation more respectable than all the ministers and religious leaders together.
