Last week, I gained some (familiar for me) notoriety on X.
I chose to post my Bachelor of Arts degree certificate from Delhi University, awarded to me for History (Honours) in 1987. Online chatter exploded immediately. My post was shared, denounced, criticised, and applauded. I got bouquets for transparency and brickbats for flaunting “elitist,” “classist” educational qualifications. Some saw my post as needlessly personal. Others praised my openness.
So why did a journalist-turned-Member of Parliament, someone fortunate enough to have received an education at prestigious institutions like Delhi University and Oxford University, put out her degree in the public domain?
