\"JEE-Candidate<\/a>Just because the reputed IITs have made headlines for all the good reasons always doesn\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t mean that they were never in news for some embarrassing moments. One such embarrassment was broke loose on IITs a few years back when one of the JEE candidates went on a fast after failing to make it to the merit list.<\/p>\n

Highly inspired by Anna Hazare and Arvind Kejriwal movement, Tinku went on a fast blaming the JEE for not realizing his true potential. The guy thought that the 6 hour examination can\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t truly judge his real intelligence, which is otherwise biased on Kota system.<\/p>\n

\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cAnna Hazare went on a fast for what he believes in and so can I,\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d Tinku was quoted as saying to the media in June, 2011.<\/p>\n

Before going on a fast, they guy had a royal five-course meal prepared by his maid servant.
\n\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cTinku baba needs energy for his fast,\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d said Sakkhubai, the maid servant.
\nCashing in on the news were struggling actors who made it a point to be there with the guy to be spotted by the media.<\/p>\n

\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cI heard that there were TV people covering some boy\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s fast, so I came to support him. Who knows, I may be on the front page tomorrow and a movie director calls me up for a movie,\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d said Neha one of the attendees. Interestingly, she had her face glowing as if she had her face painted by AsianPaints.
\nThere were Tinku\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s friends too for his support.<\/p>\n

\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cIITs should consider the passion and commitment of students before taking them in. My friend is passionate about vodka and has been committed to 15 girls,\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d said Akash to the media.<\/p>\n

\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cI always felt that my son would amount to nothing, but look at him today, he is doing something that the famous people in our country do. Now even he will be famous. I say every child who wants to achieve something in life should go on a fast until he achieves it,\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d said the father of Tinku.
\n\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cIf Baba Ramdev is doing it, it means that a hunger strike must be beneficial to the body and will cleanse the mind, body and soul,\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d said the mother, needless to say, an ardent Ramdev follower.
\nThough the guy seemed determined, he was caught stealing glances at the delicious samosas his maid had made for his supporters.<\/p>\n

Expressing concern over the fast, Kapil Sibal called for an urgent committee meeting.<\/p>\n

\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cWe agree that IIT-JEE is no judge to a student\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s merit. In fact, seeing the current scenario, we believe that JEE should be scrapped and admissions to IITs should be given only on the basis of fasts. Students will be judged on the length and severities of fasts they impose upon themselves and on how many people come to support them. Extra credit will be awarded if there is an armed uprising,\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d said Kapil Sibal.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Tinku\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s friend had also declared to go on for fast (Just like his favorite author Chetan Bhagat and Yoga Guru Ramdev) if the demands of his friends were not met by the government.<\/p>\n

No demands of Tinku were met by the then Government. The guy a couple of months after was caught by his followers chewing on his nails on the toilet seat, which ruined his movement completely.
\nThe news did not bother the IIT administration as they were already in the business of starving IITians for their benefits.<\/p>\n
