Quota:Cure worse than disease
by Mrs Manisha Lal on May 01, 2006 12:21 PM

To cut a long story short, the Govt must review its policy on reservations after obtaining an honest and detailed report whether or not the quota system has really succeeded in uplifting those for whom it was meant, or whether it has only been exploited by Govt and non-Govt vested interests. It must be emphasized that MERIT must not be compromized in the entire issue of reservations & quotas, which is pulling the country backwards. On the other hand, the actual downtrodden & have nots MUST be given incentives which both facilitate their education as well as stimulates them for upliftment. They should not end up as beggars, asking for the crutches of reservations and quotas, which kills the natural desire to learn & excel. The society must remove the evil of upper & lower castes, and in no way treat any human being as being different from himself or herself just on the basis of his or her family tree.
