#nepotisminbollywood is trending, as "outsiders" and the self righteous middle class that peddles the delusion of "merit" are attacking the kapoors etc, conveniently forgetting that they themselves paid a ridiculous donation to get their sons into a school that most cant afford. Nepotism is just a trigger happy word for looking out for your own, which is the entire point of starting a family, buying a house and getting a promotion. In the creative arts industries like bollywood and Politics (ofc it is an art), nepotism is just more visible.

A lot of my friends have either expressed extreme reservations towards online examinations or supported vehemently the decrease in word limit that CHRIST University has introduced.

They introduce a uniformity of handwriting so that the content of the answer and not how it looks becomes important
