In the video, Gandhi went on to use the story as an analogy to say that if those preparing the IITs are upper castes and the Dalits are failing, the Dalits should prepare the exam.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is yet again making headlines for making up stories about the SAT exam in the United States of America. In a video going viral on social media, Gandhi can be seen telling a group of people that “whites failed the SAT exam when the black people started preparing the question paper.”
“Who takes the call about what is merit? I’ll tell you a small story. There was a beautiful experiment. Just like we have IITs, in America, they have the SAT exams. When the SAT was first implemented, a strange thing happened. All the whites in America were topping. But the blacks or those who were speaking Spanish were not doing so well,” Gandhi said.
He further added, “Their big academicians then said that the blacks and Latin Americans are not meritorious. They are not being able to understand. This went on for years. Then one day after a professor suggested, they got these papers prepared by the blacks. You know what happened? All the whites failed.” People can be seen clapping and laughing to Gandhi’s statement in the video.
“This means that the one who is controlling the system is also deciding the merit. If you are a farmer’s son and I’m a bureaucrat’s son. If you prepare the exam, I’m bound to fail,” Gandhi said. In the video, Gandhi went on to use the story as an analogy to say that if those preparing the IITs are upper castes and the Dalits are failing, the Dalits should prepare the exam.
Gandhi is being schooled on X (previously Twitter) for his “fabricating stories to create a divide.” An X user write, “Who told him the story that in USA, all the whites failed the SAT because exam was set by blacks? In fact, there is no official passing or failing grade on the SAT. And, how can one compare SAT with JEE or IIT? Such false stories & dreams will destroy the Education System.”
