Editor,
The Rajasthan High Court recently annulled the 2021 sub-inspector exam over irregularities and paper leaks. It also reminded me of one of the biggest scams our own state has witnessed, where papers were leaked and manipulated, robbing countless aspirants of their rightful future. Each leak is not a mere technical lapse – it is a gross violation of trust that must never be brushed away.
The injustice is glaring. Those with money and connections found their way through, while equally capable candidates who burned the midnight oil for years were denied their rightful place. Because of this, many aspirants spiraled into questioning their self-worth, when in truth the fault lies with the very commission entrusted to protect fairness.
And where are our representatives? Silent, as if this betrayal of youths is not their concern. Shame on our representatives for failing in its most basic duty – protecting the future of their people. Their silence is not neutrality; it is complicity.
Names like Taket Jerang and his allies are spoken of in hushed tones, but whispering is no longer enough. Will the masterminds ever be punished, or will the story end as it always does – minor scapegoats here and there, while the real culprits slip away? Until justice is delivered and accountability fixed, public faith in exams will remain broken.
It has been years now, yet no meaningful progress can be seen. The high court, as the guardian of fundamental rights, must consider taking suo motu cognizance of this injustice. The rights to equality (Article 14) and livelihood (Article 21) of thousands have been trampled. If the state fails to act, the courts must step in to restore faith.
This is a reminder that these wrongdoings must not be forgotten or brushed aside. To remain silent now is to surrender the future itself.
