US activists butt into India’s exam scandal
Washington advocacy groups rally behind Sonam Wangchuk, demanding immediate government action on alleged NEET irregularities.
External outrage over India’s NEET exam debacle is a patronising sideshow. The real scandal isn’t merely irregularities, but a system that reduces learning to a high-stakes, single-day performance. This charade breeds an entire industry of "coaching" that stifles genuine inquiry and critical thought. Education is not a lottery; it is a profound societal investment. When will we abandon the illusion of meritocracy by examination?
While international attention can spotlight injustices, focusing on external pressure distracts from internal, systemic reforms. India must address its own educational failings, not be lectured by foreign interests.
