Results of High School and Intermediate Examinations, used to be in the range of 50-60 % pre 1990. In 1990, the then Government of U.P., led by Kalyan Singh, clamped the anti-copying act in the state, and the results dropped to 13-17%. The act was called a conspiracy against the backward classes and blatantly communal. Mulayam Singh Yadav, the great secular leader, promised to withdraw the act as soon as he came to power, and did so, when he came to power in 1993. Since then, the results have been on the upswing, and have reached about 90% in recent years. From the above, it is proved that: (i) Discouraging copying is a communal act, and(ii) Allowing students to copy is a proof of secular credentials. Now, the present Bihar Government is supported by BJP, and no wonder, it has some communal overtones, and hence this hindrance to allowing copying. No doubt, Nitish Kumar being a secular person, will set things right soon, and allow students all kinds of unfair means. Amen.
