Students' disappointment understandable: Tendulkar on NEET stir · m.rediff.com

Students in India are very upset because their exams have been leaked multiple times, which means their hard work isn't being rewarded fairly.

A famous cricket player, Sachin Tendulkar, supports them and says it's important to value hard work over cheating.

The protests started on July 20 and have become quite intense, with police using force to control the crowds.

A well-known activist, Sonam Wangchuk, is even on a hunger strike to support the students.

Tendulkar's father, who was a teacher, taught him that cheating is not acceptable, and he believes society should ensure that students don't feel this way again.
