TN Seshan had scored 150/150 in Maths, Physics & Chemistry. He applied to an Engineering college when EVR Periyar's anti-Brahmin hate culture had pervaded Tamizh Nadu. He answered all his technical questions correctly in the interview.
The interviewer then asked him in Tamizh, the number of movies Shivaji Ganesan had acted in, and his 2nd movie. He then rejected Seshan. What a blessing in disguise for India!
He later wrote the IAS exam, and eventually became the CEC. He enforced the constitutional election rules & ran the election commission with fierce independence & integrity. While the politicians helplessly whined, he cleaned up the electoral system from political influence.
After retirement, he endured physical violence by goons associated with the Tamizh Dravidian parties.
Thank you Shri Seshan for your service. Om Shanti.
