Poor Ruby Rai

I feel sorry for the child. All she wanted was to pass in second division. She told that to her father who ensured that she came first in the subject, a subject she clearly has no idea about.  I do not know what the father was up to.  Did he not realize that the whole thing would blow up on their face in this era of instant sound bytes and TV  hunting for stories? 
I have no idea what the authorities are planning to achieve by arresting Ruby Rai. When she needs them most, her parents are on run.  The Minister who wrote a big list of achievements few days back on her Facebook is silent on this issue. She can, of course, claim that education is a state subject and therefore, under the purview of the State Education Minister. Bihar is fortunately not ruled by BJP and therefore, everyone in the Center can wash their hands off.
The rot in our education system run deep and every state is in a mess.  The cut-offs for admission to colleges in Delhi University are a joke. Seriously, they expect some one to get 99% in English?  What kind of examination was administered that a child could score 99% in English?
But who cares? Those who can send their child abroad. Those who can't...well, do they really matter?
