Mr Kelkar, Its a concidence that even I work in downtown Chicago with a prestigious Investment Bank. I have gone through your article, however I vehemently oppose the parallel you tried draw between the American and Indian Constitutional Amendments. The reason being that, America is what it is today because of the people. The people who truley beleived in AFFIRMATIVE ACTION in letter and spirit. I was overwhelmed by the way its being implemented even in the Corporate America. You can name any firm the power house of Manhattan, and I can show you that they have a route map and growth plan for the classes that were oppressed for centuries.
We on the contrary, try to implement the reservations grudgingly as a mere formality with condesence. Its easy to blame the political classes for this by saying that they are trying to play vote bank politics. But honestly ask yourself this question, do we as the people of India respect our fellow citizens who have been deprived of their basic right to education for centuries?
You can reach me on 804 241 2485 if you may wish to.
