I am a woman with an invisible(intellectual) disability, but I have never done anything wrong, like copying during the exams, etc. However, some Marathi male students of the IGNOU MBA(June 2025 batch, which started in 2021) were openly copying en masse during the exams. They even got me to fail deliberately because I did not allow them to copy from my answer sheets. They had even paid a bribe of INR 4, 000 per person to the exam supervisor and were discussing it in Marathi after each exam at the CS Chandrabhan Sharma College at Powai, Mumbai. It all began when I took admission to the offline MBA course in 2021. I kept getting random calls from some Marathi fellow students, who were also pursuing the MBA course and had also opted for the Somaiya College as their study centre. The IGNOU study centre, instead of solving their academic doubts and asking them to write good answers independently, showed them my assignments as samples without taking my prior permission and asked them to write similarly, to which one of the Marathi boys told me on the phone, had I known that you have written such good answers earlier itself, I would have copied everything from your assignments. During the exams, I would sit far away from these assailants and not let anyone copy from my exam papers. After every exam, they would come asking my father(who accompanied me to the exams for my safety and is a senior citizen) that I should talk to them. When I refused to talk to them, they would try to coax me to allow them to copy from my paper in some other way. They had also admitted to each other that they used WhatsApp to decided their seating arrangements, etc. in Marathi. I overheard all this and, thinking that Dr. Estherla Krishna Rao or E. Krishna Rao(a Telugu Christian and the former director of IGNOU Regional Centre at Mumbai) was honest and would punish them, reported the entire incident to him just before the last paper on the phone because I simply got fed up of their accosting me every day after the exams. Then, the former director of the Regional Centre(IGNOU), Mumbai promised me that he would punish those boys, but instead, failed me in my last paper deliberately. On some occasions, those Marathis would coax me through the exam supervisor to sit near them, but I always refused. The only punishment that IGNOU gave Dr. E. Krishna Rao for the crime he had committed against me was transferring him to IGNOU Visakhapatnam and promoting him to the post of Deputy Director. They did not fire him at all. I had spent nearly INR 1 lakh for this course, and they never even cared to refund it to me. Nor did they allow me to apply for re-evaluation. Maybe that E. Krishna Rao had asked them to convert my case into a UFM just because he wanted to favour those evil Marathis out of fear. I left the course halfway out of shame and embarrassment. Then, when the incident of mass copying by IGNOU Bihar students came to light, I got the courage to speak out against the acts of these Marathi students of IGNOU in Mumbai. I pray to God that the bad karmas of Marathis towards their fellow Indians should affect them badly. Marathis have the courage to hurt the careers of their own fellow Indians, but they dont have the courage to face terrorists in Kashmir; but they have the courage to hurt and harm their fellow Indians in every possible way even if we Indians have not wronged them in any way. I curse them for ruining my career through absolutely no fault of mine.
