I'm really surprised that the PM, who has good education from one of the world's best schools, fails to understand the assininity of the quota system.
If they truly care about upliftment of the "backward castes", then they should provide them ECONOMIC support at the SCHOOL level, and have reservations at THIS level ONLY upto class XII, so that underprivileged kids have the SAME opportunity available to them at a REAL level playing ground, which can only be at the SCHOOL level. With such a move, the "backward" folks can NEVER complain that they were denied a level-playing ground opportunity to compete for merit-based elite colleges. Reservation system only ENCOURAGES a "hand-out" culture closely tied to incompetence. Merit should never be compromised in premier educational institutions. And reservations at POST-GRADUATE level??? Please give me a break!
All these idiots should ask themselves the basic question: Will they ever allow their family members to get cardiac surgery done by an incompetent quota doctor who would never get his degree without the quota? If they do, then it only tells me how much they truly "love" their family :-)
