I am thoroughly impressed by this article. The idea of reservation for votes without true upliftment will in reality hurt the briliant people amongst the OBCs who forever will be viewed by others as being of inferior quality.
The only way of standing up in life is to fight your way through (remember what happened to indian goods and industry till 1990 when license raj prevailed). I am afraid the fate of these hapless OBC and SC ST students will end up being the same.
I am an engineer and still remember the SC ST students at REC Rourkela from Tamil Nadu who took over eight years to clear their engg and that too with grace marks and other dubious means. They came from very poor families who could barely afford the cost of education leave alone the cost of the extended eight year education
The point about these poeple not being able to fit in the campus is an extremely valid point and i am sure some of them felt like outcastes in the system.
I hope the senseless politicians see the virtues of standing up on your feet and competeing against the best for only that will help society improve and help the induvidual attain stature
