THIS February, an official conducting taxi driver Keshav Mishra’s test showed him a picture. “Gavati Murgi (Desi Chicken),” Mishra’s response was prompt. He was expected to identify the bird in the photograph correctly in Marathi, and Mishra, an Uttar Pradesh native who has lived in Mumbai for 16 years, didn’t have any trouble doing so. However, Mishra faltered at the last question, and ended up among the many candidates who failed to get an auto-taxi permit.
As Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray once again raises the issue of auto and cab drivers compulsorily knowing the local language, Mishra told The Indian Express he is now working as a salesman, having given up hope of being a cabbie.
The test Mishra took was made mandatory by the government last year for all those seeking auto-taxi permits.
In March, the Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court stopped the test.
