Quota is a necessity for millions
by avinash vishwakarma on Apr 26, 2006 06:40 PM

The history of india is full of examples of bigotry faced by millions of low caste hindus and lack of proper facilities for tribals for thousands of years.They clean excreta from dry latrines ,work as bonded labour (landless farmers in villages ,domestic help or child labour in industry) or sex toys for the rich .This has led to disparity in our social setup and associated evils ( hunger , exploitation , suicides , naxalism) . Only through corrective measures taken by the government this can be rectified.Some that the government can take are: 1. providing good employment oppurtunities for the needy,2.ending exploitation and hostility ,3. empowering them through education and vocational training.But these things are easier said than done ina vast country like India. Quota is a step forward as few of them get the oppurtunity to prosper.
