Prof Gopinath has expressed things lucidly & also that he is sure that the politicians will continue to be short-sighted, despite it. It is time for ALL OBCs/ SCs/STs who entered thru quotas into institutions teaching higher education to give their personal opinions/ advice IN THE LIGHT OF Mr Gopinath's article. Q1. -Do they think it would have been better to have NOT attempted thru such quotas & learnt to stand on their own feet instead? Y/N? Q2. - Would they have been better off if education standards at school levels in their own schools been better instead of seeking ' crutches" at next higher levels ? Y/N? Q3.-Would they have better off if Science , Math & English been taught to them in School so that they could be better suited for IIT/ IIMs later in life? Y/N?
Maybe the MPs too should be given the same questionaire, with regard to students in their respective constituencies.....
