Thousands marched on Patna’s Raj Bhavan, facing water cannons and lathi charges, not for a single exam, but for a broken system. The trigger? BPSC’s 70th prelims; marred by chaos at one center, re-exam for a few, but no full reset for everyone. The Supreme Court backed BPSC, but the anger didn’t fade. Why? Because this isn’t just about one paper leak. It’s about 32,000 teacher posts announced with a two-stage exam + negative marking; even as students beg for fairness. It’s about 5-year delays, age limits shrinking, and no annual calendar for jobs. PhDs, assistants, and even librarians are joining; not for sympathy, but for survival. They’re demanding ‘One Candidate, One Result’, transparency in OMR sheets, and domicile protection. This is a generation tired of waiting. If Bihar’s job system collapses, what’s stopping it from happening next door? The real crisis isn’t the protest; it’s how long we’ve ignored it.
