YES, good students are perpetually sacrificed to accomodate quota students which is not a just move on part of the government. The quota which was meant for a couple of decades to enable students from other communities to catch up with the mainstream society is being continued decade after decade for the past 64 years. What is this? This is precisely the reason why upper-caste students endeavour to go foreign countries despite enduring great financial inconvenience and difficulties. Such sort of blind approach by the government to pamper dalits and other near dalits, will not help in identifying quality students for specialised fields.
Students must be given seats in higher education based on quality and merit, and not definitely by caste criterion. The so called brain-drain can not be prevented by caste politics by Government of India.

so..forward caste people enjoyed quota for 1000s of years where they disallowed lower caste people to study.. but for lower caste people you want to give quota only for 20 years ? How is that fair ?

Intreviewee says - educated population is not a burden - only uneducated ones are liabilities. Large population is always a burden - doesn't matter how educated they are. Best example is - there are lot of graduates and post graduate are unemployed in India, whereas, you hardly find any graduate is unemployed in any developed country.

its not like that. Abroad people will study their interested one choose that as their carrier and stick to its all the time. But where as we will opt to the demand one's or the subject refered by other person not the one who was going to study that. This making lack of proper knowledge further to handle in that particular stream. and also in bulk most of the people or joining the same one and keeping other as demand less not opting for it.. This making lot of gap... And one more thing for other who say about merit. getting 90% or distinction with top rank is like most of them r just mugging up those things. only few are able to understand the actual implementation of what they learn. People who learn that actual part of implemetnation will comes in to the merit and they wil sure get success in one way or other...
Don't forget, that there is no end to the quota system. Tomorrow, there will be 100 other communities demanding reservation, followed by muzzies, then Xtians... The reservation is not determined by how backward a community is, but by the size of the population it makes.
Every reservation should be opposed, including Women's reservation in education/parliament.
"Even socialist countries such as Russia and China award excellence;" The statement of the author is totally wrong. Only socialist countries reward the excellence. The capitalist countries give opportunities only to those who have money. America has never been able to outscore USSR in any field, when USSR was socialist. Similary, India cannot outscore China in any field.
If I relate this to a queuing system like for example people are waiting in queue to buy a ticket or some cause, standing in long for this cause, imagine some people come in straightaway and march ahead and get the ticket without standing in the queue fooling all the people standing in the queue...:-), that is acceptable for people who really cannot stand in queue for long like sick or old or people need additional assistance, but for all others a queue is a queue...otherwise there will be no order in the system...just my 2 cents
