From the article:
We come across people who take a Ph.D. like a magician bringing out a parrot from his black hat. Suddenly we find the prefix ‘Dr.’ added to their names. Nothing was known about their working on a thesis, no endless trips to a guide or a university, no reams of printed sheets, and the final spiral-bound tome, but a Ph.D. materialises from nowhere. This happens to be a scam in the sphere of education in our country today. This is scandalous, to say the least.
