Is it not unfair to remove some of the shortlisted candidates, who have come to this stage through merit and are going to be replaced with undeserving reservation candidates?

Nothing will be done to admissions of meritorous students; they however will have to pay full fees.
Some dumb students will be added to the batch and they will enjoy brand IIM free of cost.
I do not know why IIM cannot oppose such moves; it is supposed to create the best managers but does not show any responsiblity or leadership skills when needed by society.

I think there was some opposition from IIMs and IITs when this law was passed some time ago. But, they are nothing in front of the government.

You mirate to USA or UK so that we can initiate a debate on brain drain. I fully agree with you nd you have put it so beautifully. But we are like well dressed people in a nudist colony!
Hence it is imperative to maintain 'cultural' aka 'caste' diversity in all temples in India.
Government of India should implement 'reservations' in all Indian temples as perthe 'caste' census in India.
1. 52% of all temple staff including Pujaris/Priests should be from OBC communities. 2. 29% temple staff including Pujaris/Priests should be from Dalits and Tribals. 3. Remaining all temple staff including Pujaris/Priests should be from other castes.
Otherwise India might disintegrate into 500 independent states as in pre-BristishRaj.
IIMB's Chairperson is Ambani. He is a soniya's big spoon. The proffessor is an employee of IIMB, obuousely welcomes the decission!! Otherwise he will loose the job. Every one thinks of their own position so no one has guts to question on this verdict.
The greatest Engineer of olden India, Bharat Rathna, Sir M Vishweshvariah strongly opposed Reservation. He said recruitments must be based on Merrit only, so as Infosys's Dr.NRN. both came from poor background.
However I oppose this verdict, though am a small Dot.
I still don't understand....the Government of India run by Commies, Congress and an Italian.
1. Everyone should be equal....but divides people based on Majority & Minority.
2. All Castes are the same...but preaches the concept of FCs, BCs, SCs, STs and now, OBCs.
3. All religions are equal...but when someone talks about ancient Hindu values, it is communalism. But, implements religious schemes for other religions.

very true..but do you think the urban SC/ST/OBC are giving chance to the rural folks.. then it is basically becoz of economy and not the caste.. the General Merit and Intelligent people are telling the same thing..get good education at basic level and not at the high level.. let us build good schools in villages and give good education..why at higher levels..

I understand your point too. But, reservations are not the correct solution. Even, Ambedkar wanted it to be removed after some years. But, the big problem is no one can dare to take back these reservations after some years because of vote politics and violence.
It is the Government's duty to provide necessary food, clothing, shelter and education to the deprived. It is it's duty to make sure that the under-privileged are uplifted socially and economically by providing the necessary tools, infrastructure and laws. However, it should make sure that other communities are not negatively affected by these laws.
Reservations simply kill merit and killing merit is not good for any society.
IF UPA is elected in 2009, they will impliment reservation in pvt. sector.. They just want votes and nothing else.. they will do anything to stay in power.
"Open category" please vote and vote against UPA.. or you will loose ur jobs also.

What is wrong in having reservation in pvt sector?
Only thinkg is that it must be forced by the govt.. If a company is socially responsible and if they are talking CSR from heart, then it will certainly have a more meaningful reservation.
Ashwatthama asks his father, Dhronacharya, as to why he asked Ekalavya's finger as Guru Dakshina...is it because he is from a lower caste? Dhronacharya replies....Ashwatthama has stolen education and he did not earn it in a proper way and hence, he did not deserve it. Even if it was a Brahmin or a Kshatriya, I would have done the same way.

NOOO .. HE KNEW EKLAVYA WAS MORE TALENTED THAN HIS SON WHO WAS BLOOOODY KHATRIYA BY BIRTH
All those here who seem to be sure that our country is doomed because of reservation, I hope you've seen a CAT question paper atleast, or even have a vague idea of what management is. If you are someone with a 99%ile in CAT, you wouldn't make such ludicrous statements. With the kind of reasoning ability you have, you're most surely stuck with a run-of-the-mill job and deeply frustrated with your lives. Or if you feel that you could get into the IIMs if you belonged to the reserved classes, you are trapped in your own argument. Grow up people.
