I am an FC by classification and have always failed to understand why these reservations existed in the name of caste and creed. Incase, no one knows, there are people belonging to backward communities who are literally sinking(not even floating!) in money ... even better off than the so-called "forward castes"... and yet they get into top institutions by virtue of their caste. How many can anyone say is bright and meritorious enuff to warrant for that seat ? Many "wannabe" engineers and doctors merely get in purely on the basis of their castes... and these are the so-called representatives of India in the global market! Many of them can't even speak english with the subject and predicate in the right places. Nice way to deal with education in India! Is it any small wonder then that I chose to make a life for myself overseas?
