RAHIM YAR KHAN: Revtash Kumar, who belongs to an impoverished household in the lower district of Rahim Yar Khan has surprised everyone by securing the top most position in matriculation examinations.
His success was celebrated in a traditional way, amidst Pakistani folk songs. His family was very happy on their son’s achievement.
Despite topping the exams, his dream of becoming a doctor will have to be put on hold since his shoe maker father, who earns Rs100-150 a day, cannot afford Revtash’s education any further. Instead, he now assists his father at his shoe shop.
“I make shoes to earn a living but sadly, not enough to support my son’s education. I hope the government can help us,” Revtash’s proud father hoped.
This news came a few days after that of Muhammad Mohsin, the son of a former labourer of Hafizabad and a worker at a tandoor who topped the Punjab University B.A/B.Sc exams by obtaining 688 marks.

How could you ? The correct name is Michael Schumacher. Is there a similarity ?

Congrats to the boy.

Even in praise ppl cannot help being derogatory...

@The Express Tribune : The correct name is Cobbler not shoe maker. The standards of English are falling among newspapers.

Congrats to the bright boy!

Is it just me who thinks that we should stop labeling citizens of our country by a religious tag first and then his/her achievements/failures?

How is Hindu derogatory?

Your country is Hindustan right?

Secondly, the tread title and article referred to him as Hindu. We cannot call him a Indian after all. Hindu comes from Sindhu in Persian, meaning from Indus area.

Note: i am not going to indulge into another trolling war with you, so

Read what was written in the post & highlighted by me.

Hindu or anything..This is the derogatory part. Hindus are not anything.

They are equal citizens of Pak. Clubbing them as ' anything' is derogatory. Sir.

My point was that Hindu or any religion, Christian, Sikh, Parsi, Muslim any religion, they have topped the matric result, deserve credit.

 

[notsuperstitious]

Indians, just congratulate the boy or don't comment at all.

Thats better.

What was written earlier sounded offensive.

Appreciate the explanation, matter closed

 

[Contrarian]

Brilliant. Hope Pakistan govt is able to help him out.

Secondly newspaper should've said son of a cobbler tops not Hindu tops.

 

[Sugarcane]

Well Done!!!

How about Pakistani members here raise funds for his education as you know govt. will do nothing????

 

[RazPaK]

It was his hard work not his religion that brought him where he is today. Congrats to the boy.
