reservations will lead to brain drain.

Look at the situation as of now. The so called discriminating "brahmins" and "upper" castes of society have lesser and lesser access to inexpensive education. So...what do they do? get payment seats, management quota seats and get ahead with life while the so called underdogs get on with theirs, getting education cheap and in many cases, even getting into institutions that they definitely don't deserve entry into (because the institutions are not allowed to leave the reserved seats empty).

Now, engineering/ B-School seats cost 5, 6 or even 10 lakh rupees. Then comes all the expenses that one incurs while pursuing the course. After which, the student is placed...if you had a debt of 12 lakhs on your head, what would you do?

You'd convert it into US$...it works out to a paltry $ 30,000, which a reasonably good student would make in less than 1.5 years. Ha Ha Ha Ha.

Now the young professional has tasted blood...he/she will never return to the homeland.

By and far, a good 25 to 30% of each generation's intellect will immigrate to other nations. The gaps in the call centers IT firms, and all job opportunities will have to be filled with the remaining...mediocre professionals. Quality will drop, so will profitability. Well, India will begin to lose out and finally lose everything it has.

Individuals (The upper classes) will prosper and India will lose. Go ahead...Kill the country!
