Aditya Srivastava, who secured the All India Rank 1 in the UPSC Civil Services Examination, is garnering the headlines. However, it’s not because of his background or rank, but because of his now-viral essay mock test copy.
A social media account, which goes by the username @UPSC_Notes, shared a few screenshots of an essay, reportedly written by Aditya Srivastava. The essay talks about a famous quote by Rabindranath Tagore: A mind all logic is like a knife all blade, it makes the hand bleed that uses it.
