RE:Re: Reservation for OBCs
by Biswajit Ghoshal on Apr 02, 2007 02:49 PM

Girija - when you'll grow up, you would come to know that quota won't help anyone. The main problem that the govt is trying to address is backwardness and poverty. For that the backward people need access to education, food, finance. How would the IIM-quota benefit an illeterate/standard-4 passed OBC? That quota would be taken up by a well-off but dull boy from the OBC (i.e. from creamy layer). The illeterate person will remain illeterate. Quota would only bring some undue privilege to the creamy layer people from SC/ST/OBC - it will defeat the basic purpose altogether.

And the bad treatment given to the OBC by upper-caste you are talking about is a local issue. The upper caste person needs correction - which can be given to him by the lega/police system. The laws of the country or the institutes are equal for all already - only their proper utilization/implementation is needed. Quota won't solve personal issues.
