In a touching example of how education transcends borders, a heartfelt message from a Pakistani student to a Chandigarh-based UPSC mentor has gone viral. A social media platform user, who is also the co-founder of an online learning platform, shared the message, emphasising the unifying power of education.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), @DuttShekhar posted a screenshot of the chat with the caption, "Knowledge knows no boundaries."
The message, written by a Pakistani student preparing for the CSS exams (Pakistan's equivalent of UPSC), read: "Hello! Hope you are doing well. I am from Pakistan and also a Sociologist. I know you are a mentor for UPSC."
The student continued, "I am just sending you this message to get your best of luck for my coming CSS exams in February. It is my second attempt. I have prepared well. But I am still confused, confused, and very confused. I daily come across your tweets, and I acknowledge your thoughts and words. I learned a lot from you. Thank you!"
