‘Tabadak, tabadak…’: Student’s ‘fisaddi’ response on Jhelum battle leaves Internet on edge | tendency

Exams are often a source of immense pressure for students as they aim to score well, both at school and university. While many spend countless hours preparing, others take a rather unconventional approach. Recently, a picture of a BA student’s exam answer sheet went viral on X (formerly Twitter), showing a hilariously weird attempt to answer a history question.

Shared by the account @gharkekalesh, the image shows the exam of Ashish “Goldie” Kumar, a student of Sangam University. The subject of the exam? “Old Hindi”. The student’s answers to history-related questions left many amused, especially his creative take on the Battle of Jhelum (also known as the Battle of Hydaspes).

Creative sound effects instead of facts

One of the exam questions asked Kumar to write 300 words on the Battle of Jhelum, an important historical event where Alexander the Great (called Sikander) faced off against King Porus. Instead of providing a factual account, Kumar filled his answer with sound effects. He described Sikander’s horses chasing King Porus, using the phrase “Tabadak, Tabadak, Tabadak” repeatedly to convey the thundering hooves.

Not stopping there, he added, “Sanya-Sanya” to represent the sound of arrows flying from Porus’ bow to Alexander, filling several lines with this onomatopoeia. He concluded his answer with a Bollywood twist, quoting a famous lyric from the song: “Friends, he is known as Sikander, who knows how to win even a losing bet.”

The examiner, clearly unimpressed, marked the page heavily in red ink and wrote the word “Fisaddi” (loser) at the bottom.
