Above all, there is lot of hope in this country for illiterate and ignorant folks, since the so-called erudite judges can afford to be so stupid and can still be successful in their jobs. I have been laughing my gut out ever since I read that a judge has asked a doctor to determine the capability of a person to work as a teacher. Even as an eighth class kid I knew blind persons can work as teachers. God save India!!!
