Quota system a curse
by stephen black on Jul 06, 2007 08:54 PM

quota system is a curse to any country.
In India it is being very effectively and deceptfully being used by the politicians to keep alive the disappearing wedge in the society. politicians bring it up every now and then to their convenience and we common people fight over it.
Quota system can only create more hatred and dislike among the haves and have nots a reversal of earlier times.
Every country had classes in some form or other centuries ago in the form of Rulers, religious heads, traders, servants and slaves. History shows that nowhere was one class treated equal to the other and same was in India where we had Kshtriyas, brahmin, shudras, dalits exactly the same manner.
For some reason the world is so obsessed with the caste system in India that they forget the atrocities they carried out on their lower classes... slaves. We tend to visualize caste system as a product of differences between Brahmins and dalits etc.
2 wrongs dont make a right and we should strive for equal access to education and other resources(books, library) for all economically weak and not any particular caste, but no reservations when it comes to college admission or jobs. Sincersly hope we can look through the foul minds of the politicians and unite.
Jai Bharat.
