Examination in Jail………
University exams conducted in Jails too. Though nobody
preferred, I opted invigilation for fun. With exam paper and
other stuff reached Jail in Lucknow. 18 Political prisoners were
appearing for examination.
Jail superintendent was nice gentleman; once exam started, he
ushered me to his office and told that everyone will cheat and
take longer time to finish.
After cup of tea, he showed overcrowded barracks, shabby
kitchen and even gallows. On the way he narrated interesting
stories.
After about 5 hrs, collected copies, completed required
formalities and left that world of woe and a map of misery,
never to visit again.
