Bankruptcy of Imagination ? or a
Conspiracy ?
---------------------------------------------------
Hindustan Times ( 30 April ) carried following news :
Excerpt :
District officials, who did not want to
be named, explained that the initials — SC for scheduled caste, ST for
scheduled tribe and O for OBC, or other backward class — were put on the chests
of male candidates from these categories as they have different selection norms
under the reservation policy.
This, they said, was done to identify
one section of candidates from the other and avoid any mix-up.
Elsewhere , there have been cases of similar shameful
ways of tracking people
Eg :
and ,
After staying in a US prison for 18 months, Rajat Gupta , former MD of McKinsey , was
confined
to his apartment and required to wear an ankle bracelet that monitored his
movements
Some
years back , a few Indian students studying in US , were also forced to wear
such
bracelets
- ostensibly for tracking their movements
=======================================================
It is a pity that the country which prides itself as
being “ Software Super-power “ , could not use technology as described below :
*
Some time back , there was a news report that all foreigners entering India ,
will be given special SIM cards
that they must install in their smart phones - enabling Indian Authorities to track their movements
and to quickly locate a foreigner who overstays his stay
*
GPS satellites of USA / Russia / China enable their militaries to
locate objects on earth , just ONE CENTIMETER apart !
*
RFID sensors inserted in clothes worn by candidates
*
Smart watches , worn by candidates
* QR Codes printed on ID cards of
candidates or any papers carried by them
Or , was
this a case of those examiners finding some sadistic pleasure in humiliating
those SC / ST / OBC candidates ?
Or , is
someone trying to create embarrassing situations for the NDA government , in
order to provide fodder to the opposition parties ?
If such
incidences were to repeat , NDA has bleak future in 2019 !
