One more popaganta against reversion. Peoples against reversions are hiding behind Christian name then backward class. I am sure that soon rediif will come up with another article saying that so called intellectual professor kind people will write a article saying that he is more SC/ST caste and dont want any reservation.
For the author, how many of your village peoples got higher education how you ever thought about them? How many peoples will get a guide like your science teacher.
As a retired person you have plenty of time to read or write anything. Please do it firever.whether your writings yield any good result or not.
But you kind of people will only tell to throw away a crutch ,but will never give/come up with any solution to solve it.

Mr. Sivaraman Before pointing your finger against a veteran; have you ever tried doing the same you have been asking of him? Have you ever tried helping people in your village by imparting whatever education you have achieved? Forget about your village have you ever tried helping the children in your backyard who could not afford to study? Will reserving a seat for those people help them to achieve empowerment?
before going sentimental about the point of discussion you should use a little bit of self introspection and some of your education in percieving the point of contention. if you are not able to do that - it reflects on how much you could absorb/make use of the very crutches you are talking off... you are only exemplify whatever the author has pointed to!!

If you feel that there are not many good teachers or schools in the villages then why don't you ask those from our great political leaders?? That is the only way the so called backward people of our country can be brought forward. That is not easy and our poilitical leaders chose easier way to get votes from backward people.
There is no shortcut to success in life. Without proper primary and secondary education if someone is gifted an admission into IIT it just like throwing one into sea who doesn't know how to swim.
Instead of wasting the HUGE amount of money to increase the number of seats as proposed by the government those could have been used for improvement in primary education in villages leading to TRUE benefit of people of backward classes. But we always choose short-cuts. So India will see backward people remain backward for ever.
For heaven's sake please do not ask this person called Sivaraman to teach in a village or his neighbors. His write up is sufficient to kill the enthusiasm of even those few brilliant students in a village. This fellow could not even make use of the spell & grammar check in the computer before posting his message. Do you expect him or people like him to do any good to the society? Leave it to brilliant people like Gopinathan about whose caste we could not care!

you sir, are just not getting the point do you ? blinded by the one sided thingking that you have. he is not going to give you any solution. thats what he's asked people to do in the first place. its the survival of the fittest theory that he has offered. he came up the hard way. successful men dont need any backing, they do it without it. dhirubhai ambani dint have a harvard degree to suceed. there are scores of such examples. education is a tool, its the hard work that counts.

The result of taking easy path is visible in your English and language. First, go polish it and then try to comment on an IIT Prof's article.

Sivraman, you look quite confused and are not clear about views.Please dont post any comment just for the heck of it.I did not understand what's wrong in the article.I think its quite visionary.For me if u ask about this whole game of reservation, i think it is the personal vandetta of that old guy Arjun singh.Look like he is still frustrated because he did not get PM post ever.

This Sivaraman is either son of a politician like Arjun singh or a creamy layer, who doesn't need it but will get it. Good for nothing son in laws of Sonia, Arjun and Manmohans - Get a life.

Dr Anand,
I hope that you are aware that communication is not about grammatical accuracy. I doubt if this professor will be able to teach village kids. He is used to teach people who know certain lingo. I suggest you come up with your suggestion when english grammer is discussed. Right now we are discussing about OBC reservation.
To be frank I am disgusted with the suggestion of this few greedy upper castes (contribution of the upper castes - caste and the colonization) that the standards will dilute. I think it does not matter if 85% population gets representation in schools runnig on public money. A lot more people will have awareness about engineering or medical fields. And for that we will bear the cost of dilution of merit. And if the IIT professors think they want to quit they can. We do not want narrow minded geeks. As a person working in private industry for last 12 years I have seen so called merit of upper castes so I just get disgusted when they come cribbing about quality and merit.
