Why it's necessary India to competitive globally while most of the peoples are running without food and shelter. The quote says, 'Should India continue with something that has not benefited the real needy for 50 years?' ofcourse more than 2000yrs of suppression (Slavery in all things) can't be completely liberated in just 50yrs. Even today peoples are below poverty level in NE states of India. These days people bother on Racism while castism is going on in the same country, 'Who bothers on it?' May be reservation is only a political gimmick to lure the voters but many peoples from below poverty is getting benefited. Does any one know Mr. Seshan is the heart throb for many upper class politicians.
