There’s more to celebrate than UPSC

There’s more to celebrate than UPSC 

- Thangkhansuan Gualnam

With the declaration of the UPSC 2019 result, there has been an interesting development of conversation online, mainly on WhatsApp groups. The sentiment in most of the conversation has been that of disappointment. This is because, of the 829 selected candidates, none has been from our community. Now knowing the competitive nature of the said exam and expecting someone from our community to be on the list every year, I think the confidence we have on our youth is commendable. At the same time, it is frightening for our youth the amount of expectation and high standard of success set by our society. I’m no expert on “how to crack the Civil Service exam” and I do not have a YouTube Channel with videos about the tricks for such an exam. As such the objective here is not to analyse why our youth could not clear the exam this year or to give any advice on what to next and how to prepare for it. The objective here is rather of a larger issue, and it’s also a continuation of the personal discussion with friends or classroom discussions with professors over the years. 

Being a young university student and soon to be job hunting from place to place myself, I had some problems with the kind of conversion happening around the idea of “success” that

An open letter to IAS wannabes By Ranjan Yumnam

An open letter to IAS wannabes
By Ranjan Yumnam

In Delhi where I live, I constantly bump into numerous people who dream of becoming an IAS officer. Of these, there are really serious contenders for the top job and then there is also a larger group of IAS wannabes who simply lulled their parents into great expectations without having any slim chance of succeeding in India's toughest public examination. And to this latter group, that this letter is being addressed.

Every time I see people from the latter lot, I feel guilty as a concerned Manipuri for not being able to stop them in the tracks of their futile exercise. On closer examination, many of them turn out to be academic underachievers who in their frustration choose to take a chance in the Civil Services as the last resort.

To me, it is a weird paradox that these academically-challenged people would even think of stepping into where angels fear to tread. It is nothing less than a willful adventurism at the expense of precious time and other realistic opportunities in other vocations and career avenues.

The profile of a typical IAS aspirant in Delhi can be made out fairly accurately. Most probably, he would be an average graduate. Chances are that if you look at his mark sheet, you will see blood all over it-the kind of mark sheet that no university would accept for enrolment in its Master's program. So, one fine morning, our dreamer wakes up to realize that his salvation lies in clearing the IAS examinations and proving all detractors wrong. The results almost always tell a different story.
