(Case study)

Radha was very proud of her father. He was a senior bureaucrat in the state and he was
invited to every major functions in Radha’s school and colleges. She used to feel like a
star on such occasions. She boasted about her father in her friends’ circle. It was not
without reason as her father himself used to tell her his stories of honesty, integrity in
administration from his personal experiences.

Radha was a brilliant student in her studies. She had many friends and some enemies
too. Ramya was one of those enemies who was jealous of Radha and she constantly
searched for an opportunity to hurt Radha with her acerbic taunts. Most of the times
Radha avoided encountering Ramya inside the college campus.

When Radha was in her final year of graduation, just before her final exams, her father
was arrested on charges of corruption and was sent to jail. This became a major news in
the state and severely affected Radha mentally.

She did not want to write her exams as she felt embarrassed to go to college. But her
friends and mother convinced her to give exams as it was very important for her future.
As soon as Radha entered college, Ramya met her and started talking sarcastically about
Radha’s father that how an honest father got arrested and how Radha had come to write
exams in spite of a major crisis in her family. Ramya wryly asked Radha if her father
had gone to jail to deliver lecture about honesty and integrity

One of Radha’s close friends slapped Ramya there itself.
