With Dalit veneer, even cramming industry is heroic

All IIT-JEE/competitive exam coaching is a ruthlessly unscrupulous and scam-ridden industry generating hundreds of crores of rupees for people including Big Business stars like N.R. Narayana Murthy.

I wrote once as to how Narayana Murthy has actually been invested in and profiting from IIT-JEE coaching industry while pretending to be a worrier over the adverse effects of such coaching on the quality of IITs' intake.

Big stakes bring with it big propaganda (also known by such tasteful terms as 'public relations' and 'journalism'), so that now people who matter think twice before speaking their mind on how they view the racketeering over aspiration for IIT education.

Now a Hrithik Roshan-starrer Hindi filmhas been made glorifying Super 30, a Patna-based fraudulent and money-spinning crammer for those wishing to get into IITs.

Mumbai filmdom is of course the place where you find fakers who choose to live in clouds of convenient propaganda and unreality that float blissfully across the sky, far removed from the hot and humid ground where Indians actually live their lives. 

The fakers of Mumbai filmdom don't even read newspapers; when they do they only read English newspapers and only those 'news' that reaffirm the clouds of convenient propaganda and unreality they live in. 

They don't read Hindi newspapers because they and their children don't know any Hindi -- even as their entire generations have been making hundreds of billions of rupees out of making and selling the so called "Hindi" movies.

These profit-making charlatans can any day degenerate into -- and may already have degenerated into -- making films with clearly malevolent intentions.

Talking of educations scams, it was Prime Minister Manmohan Singh who broke new ground: he started a huge education scam in the form of Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI) -- of which Narayana Murthy has been chairman twice -- and insinuated it into the Government of India!

Manmohan Singh also gave whole-hearted support to another money-making scam called Indian School of Business (ISB)-Hyderabad.

Why don't hearts bleeding for Dalits and other disadvantaged classes ask a simple question: Does ISB-Hyderabad comply with the government policy for reservations for the SC/ST? 

If not, why?

The fact is this Dalit/backward class discourse is now primarily a smokescreen that hides behind it a multitude of sins, scams, and selective targeting and crucifixion of people. It's quite simply a fraud.
