Political Parties and Outfits Highlight Brahmin Context in Reference to Pandit in U.P. Police Recruitment Exam
In a recent candidate assessment, participants were presented with a question prompting them to select a term that describes ‘a person who changes according to circumstances.’ The options included ‘Pandit’ (scholar), ‘Avsarvadi’ (opportunist), ‘Nishkapat’ (innocent or sincere), and ‘Sadachari’ (virtuous).
