USA, UK, France vs. India
by R. Veera Raghavan on Apr 10, 2008 02:33 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

I wonder: How is that in the US blacks are able to do well and even excel without any reservations for them in schools, colleges and in public employment. Mind you, their forefathers were brought as slaves and were the worst marginalised people, but their future generations are able to do well in freedom and open competition. Second, how is that Muslims are able to do well in the UK and in France, who are a sinigicant minority over there, without the law giving them any special minority privileges as in India. So what does India prove to itself and to the world, with all its favoured treatment to a part of its people, when that favoured treatment for over fifty years has not uplifted the favoured groups?

Blacks have reservation. It is called Affirmative Action in USA. And yes they excel because of that.
