[Assam] Assamese Biased Again : Need Help

[umesh sharma]

Thats interesting:
   
  "Recently in the interview for selection of our PGDBM course, one candidate was chewing Gutka while he was being interviewed. Another had come to the interview without his original certificates. The overall awareness level of our candidates are low, even many who have come for campus placement or after reveiwing our summer placement candidates have commented about the gebneral lack of awareness amongst NE students."
   
  Glad you raised this point. Knowing the "culture of power" is important for the candidate. Might be that chewing gutka is no crime in Panchayat elections for village leader's post -but that very same habit may down someone seeking the post of school teacher or DJ.

  Otherday, I talked to Mr. T. Rabha, the Chief PRO of NF Railway.
  He is very clear that most of the local applicants for the posts fare VERY POORLY in the interviews, even if they are highly qualified. They never come prepared for the interviews, lack depth as well as width of knowledge.  On the otherhand, most candidates from other states reflect a seriousness of purpose in the interviews, come fully prepared and make very favourable impressions.
  I do agree, things are not that simple and even in Railways, there are something about employment that makes me uncomfortable. However, there are scopes by which our youths can be given employment in Railways. But our leaders and organistions are very poor in strategising, they are only good in getting adverse publicity.
   
  About performance in interviews, I tend to agree. I have interviewed candidates and I find the casualness of our candidates appaling. Recently in the interview for selection of our PGDBM course, one candidate was chewing Gutka while he was being interviewed. Another had come to the interview without his original certificates. The overall awareness level of our candidates are low, even many who have come for campus placement or after reveiwing our summer placement candidates have commented about the gebneral lack of awareness amongst NE students.
   
  I remember many years ago we made an offer to prepare camdidates for interveiws and to organise pre-examination training programmes, but failed to elicit responses. I also remember about ten years ago, I was involved in one such programme organised by a leading organisation/pressure group of the region; the group was more keen on publicity, getting VIPs in the inauguration and valediction functions, was least bothered about what was being imparted or the logistics involved in organising such programmes. I was disgusted and the group never had any contact with me again; perhaps they found me too serious to their liking.

  The issue here was about employment of Indigenous people's. Either we support it or we dont. By trying to get into a broader view of "we the Indians are responsible for it" and " it is "Corruption" we are only trying to dilute the issue. Yes We agree there is corruption. But issue here is systematic alienation of Indeginious peoples. 
  It seems like an Indian from the Cowbelt is more Indian than anyone from Northeast. If the same holds true you are also responsible for the corruption in the same proportion as you enjoy the privilege's of being an Indian.
