BIRBAL SAHANI

In the B.Sc. Examination Birbal found the questions on botany extremely easy. Immediately he returned the blank answer sheets and went home. He told his father that the questions at the previous examination had just been repeated. His argument was that such a question paper might be an undue advantage to some and an unjust difficulty to others and so it was not a fair test of the student’s knowledge. His father could not decide what to do. It seemed certain that Birbal’s courage would cost him a valuable year in his academic life. But the matter went up to the higher authorities in the university. It was decided that no examiner should be so easy-going as to pick up an earlier question paper and pass it on to the students. A fresh paper was set for Birbal.
