Nothing exposes the catastrophic governance deficit of the Narendra Modi government more brutally than the collapse of India’s examination system. A government obsessed with slogans, PR, media narratives, and photo-ops has failed to protect the integrity of competitive exams.
Ministers busy targeting and “fixing” the Opposition and “managing” elections, are neglecting the duties of governance. Under Modi, central institutions are either weaponised for political ends or left to decay from within. Nowhere is this institutional collapse more visible than in medical entrance examinations. And the price is being paid by lakhs of young people.
