Rahul Gandhi came visiting at our beloved St. Stephen's in an oh so obvious attempt to clear his name... considering that he had told the media that asking questions was not a task that stephanians looked at with any favour.. it must have come as a shock to him how the assembled teachers and even the principal happily sat back and let the students ask the great scion any question they wished.... for some reason.. he kept repeating that asking questions was good, and the country needed more people who were unafraid to ask questions... it did not seem to occur to him though.. that he was there today to ANSWER the damned questions... instead.. he simply added rhetorical questions of his own to the questioners who by the end became totally befuddled by the man in white firing questions at them...
an example..
Student: sir i come from a village and there were no english or maths teachers in the school. however, i managed to pass and got through to St. Stephens... but theer were many students who could not get through any good college coz of the problem of no teachers.. We're talking about the nuclear deal and gas pipelines while there are large section sof the population deprived of the basics. Shouldn't the government take steps to help the villages?
Rahul Gandhi: i have travelled extensively in the villages.. and i see that there are several problems with education... why do you think are the reasons for that????
S: um.... sir.. in my village the sarpanch would simply take the government allocation of 5 lakhs and spend less than 50 thousand... but shows that the entire money has been spent.. they just swallow the money.. its the same with the district level officers...
RG: yes... but dont you think that the problem is that there aren't enough colleges to absorb the number of village students who come out of the schools?
S: err..... sir the children dont get enough facilities to pass school that they would come to college..
RG: yes well... we need to understand that the village is a very different environment. we need to empower the villages and they will then transform the future of the country...
(audience: huh??? what on earth is he even saying?? dude wake up!! there are no teachers at the guy's school!)
example 2
Student: sir we organised a peace march yesterday against the violence done by the ABVP at the public meeting where SAR Geelani was invited. but though we invited about 400 people.. only 50 came.. and that was because..
Rahul Gandhi: hey.. you organised a march and no one came.. so thats your failure isnt it..
S: but....
RG: no... dont deny it... everyone fails at something everyday... I fail at something every day too... u just get up, and say i gotta move on..
S: no sir... the reason why a large number of people stayed away wa because we were threatened by the ABVP people who said that they would throw acid on the women if we dared to take out teh march..
RG: well... you should design a confrontation in a manner that they cant threaten you... or have strength enough to not be threatened by them..
(Audience... WHA.................??????????????)
