without doubt india is losing out on its most precious resource - the intelligence of its people. the only people to benefit from the reservation system are the politicians (who get to power because of it) and the mediocre (who get college seats/jobs that they would not otherwise get). the claim of states like tamil nadu doing well and being amongst the top states in india is pathetic - because if we retained our best brains our country would be amongst the top in the world. foreign countries are reaping the benefits of the indian brain drain.
