Why reservation, let's have some out of box thinking
by Gentle Man on Jul 16, 2007 01:26 PM

Its very clear that reservation is not a solution to erradicate poverty. Because
1. Not all reserverd category people are poor
2. Not all so called upper caste are rich

The problem on ground is we don't have enough opportunities. To create opportunities we need vision, money & above all true patriotism to implement. Not even a idiot would think the cronies like Arjun or Dr Sing are capable of doing this. Even if they want to we all know our great Super PM, Sonia will not allow this to happen.

So for all the political class i have an idea - a face saving formula, to keep you votes intact as well as do something good for the country-
1. Like minority run institutions we should allow caste run institutions. Their prime purpose is to uplift their caste people. They can recruit their caste people in those institutions. It should be 100% only for those caste & no caste should be left out.
2. We should keep elite institutions like IIT, IIM's & REC's outside the purview of this setup. Create more IIT, IIMs. May be atleast one per every state. But no reservation.

I think with these we can cater to everyones need and can achieve a sembalance of equality in future ...
