George, We need to change this mindset. Its a fashion among the upper class/non reserved people to talk about the reservation and disown of all your responsibilities. BTW the reservation in most of the parts is 50% not 75% as you aresaying. Secondly, it can not be the reason for the failure of the project. What about the other upper cast so called bright and intelligent people? Research is a different game all together. It needs a mindset. Even academacally brightest student may not become a good scientist. We have so many examples of even college drop outs being great scientists/innovator. Most importantly not all research will be successful. We have to be patient. We need to learn from the failures. Indians perhaps will never understand all this....
