Dear Ignorant and stupid media people, The CSAT Exam protests a few months back was not about marks in English paper. They politicised and you as usual lapped it up. Here are the facts. Since the new format of CSAT exam has been framed and aptitude test introduced, students clearing the exam from rural India has come down dramatically. The format favours the urban convent educated students who went through coaching. The aptitude test also benefits the engineering and science students to liberal arts students. It is deceptively similar to a management entrance test. What are the consequences? For starters, in 2013 the students selected in CSAT from Hindi Medium has come down to 20 from almost 300. The issue is not language marks but the aptitude test. Does it make sense for India to frame a test that is non-inclusive, intimidates rural India aspirants and eliminates liberal arts students from policy making? Isnt it necessary that policy makers understand history, culture, literature? Dont you think the urban emphasis will only widen the gap between rural and urban India? You decide?
