Mostly for the first ever time in my life .. I admire an OBC person (Prof. Gopinathan) for this well balanced, level headed article. I am proud that India also produces quality people beyond the caste bounday, which is mostly virtual.
What India is today in the advanced world is not because of its casteism, history, heritage but it is because of its Brilliant brain, Excellent people who know NO boundaries.
For the sake of few crooked, selfish politicians the Indian higher education.
Let these politicians show ONE person from the Reservation category SC/ST/OBC who has not excelled in primary education but did fantastically well in his higher education like Engg, Medical on Caste ground.
This is utter foolishness to the core to assume that people need much more than just reservation in the higher education. They need basic schooling at all levels to compete themselves in any higher education without help of reservation (crutches).
I am never proud to be an Indian with this dirty democracy.
