Merit is Elitist?
by Akhilesh on Apr 10, 2006 06:49 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

If Merit is elitist, then let's forget about those 9% growth rates and a high morale.

Let us replace all the dieties in our temples with symbols of mediocrity.

You name it. We're mediocre. Our cricket team buckles under stress, the less said of indegenous research the better, all our automobiles are designed abroad. Pointing out to excellence as elitist certainly has some votes, but the long term repercussions are quite scary.

It is true that Quota and Reservation will seriously affect the Quality of any good Institution and this can be appreciated only by the people having no bias on the subject of Reservation.

If the Govt and the pseudo-secular parties are really serious abt the upliftment of the poor and the deprived students of the Society, then the GOVT shd set up separate and exclusive Institution for the deserving students from the poor and deprived sections of the Society.
