Hail Hitler?

Sir, — In the context of the controversial questions on Hitler's ``final solution'' which the students of class twelve had to answer in Gujarat (April 24), perhaps, it would have been more appropriate if the higher level English question paper had followed the trend with the concluding query over the subject to name the personality behind the saying ``we are barbarians. We want to be barbarians. It is an honourable title,'' and those who had answered it correctly as ``Adolf Hitler'' would have merited a pass with a distinction.
