Making of Hindu Rashtra – Part 1
India is bringing about a lot of revolutionary changes
in its education and employment sectors. A lot of Indians are happy with it
too. Let me present one of the reasons below.
National Eligibility cum Entrance Test or NEET is a
major entrance examination in India for students who want to study medical and
dental courses. Students from any religious background are allowed to take the
exam and seek admission in medical colleges. Imagine getting questions like the
following and see how discrimination takes on new forms.

This is bizarre. Such questions are obviously irrelevant to medical education. It can only be, as you suggest, a backdoor way of discriminating against non-Hindus.
ReplyDeleteWould even all Hindus be able to answer such questions? Do you think it could be meant to discriminate in favor of those who had a religious education? The US, where I live, is a predominantly-Christian country, but many Christians could not easily answer questions like these about the Bible.
These questions are my creation, but similar ones are being asked in various exams with clear ulterior motives.
DeleteNEEET Exam - Questions? Bullshit. Glad or sad that they did not ask who among the Epic characters were born of IVF and and who underwent Plastic Surgery. Kaliyuga....!!!
ReplyDeleteA girl posted on this issue on Facebook and I was moved to write this.
DeleteSeeing how these types of questions have nothing to do with medicine, I can only guess that there are ulterior motives at play here.
ReplyDeleteUlterior motives aplenty.
DeleteThis is bizarre. Good vikend, Hug Andreja!
ReplyDeleteOur govt has mastered the technique of Hinduising everything.

ReplyDeleteThis was even discussed on The Rest Is Politics broadcast this week, so such news is reaching here. CNJ is truly making the world aware that the Modi government is not what he would like the world to see it as! A the commenter above says, it was noted that if British students intending any scientific research were asked to verify Biblical tales, there would be very limited numbers in university.... YAM xx
Modi has many faces. Even in India he wears masks according to situations. All the smile and cheer he takes abroad disappear the moment he lands back in Delhi Airport. There are many psychologists now arguing that Modi is a typical example of a man driven by the dark triad.
