It gives me immense pleasure that Raghurajan has attained such a stature in fact i would say that he has created raves abroad.But let me tell you one thing that there is something which has went unnoticed i.e the primitive thing to be noted is he belongs to an reservation category where almost everyone even with a little talent is given a fair chance to exploit and then he states that education is the only weapon i think he feel's that for middle class n other backward folks education is the only ramp to be come out with flying colours which i think is very naive on his part to predict.I have seen many top class people who are academically outstanding and who have been enriched with knowledge from the portals of the IIM's and other B-schools have been utter failures I've specified them because its just because of sheer hype created by the folks around us.I want to make it clear that its not only education but one has to be a top order technocrat to get a respectable position and a handsome pay...which is always given utmost importance now a days.As far as he exploiting his chances is concerned i would say that he bears a tag i.e he is from a reserved category and yes not to forget folks of general category are much better than them and its been proved.Therefore i conclude that Mr.Raghurajan you have achieved an aristocratic status now but there is no need for you to brag much about it,careful that this sought of boasting would turn you into a social snob.
I am sure Raghuranjan that you will be reading my post. You had opportunities and you used them and congratulations for your whatever success you are celebrating in terms of consuming rediff news space. I am sure you understand there are lakhs of people who are much more successful and still don't want to get highlighted like you. If you mean to inspire to SC/ST, its ok. But since you reached here, can you remove the SC/ST tag in any application that you and your future generations using it??? Ask yourself this question?. Also you have not achieved anything unless you spend your efforts in helping people of your community to achieve the same or further success so that we can end reservation completely. I am from general category and for me, there were no opportunities and favours like you had but still I am in much better position and my family was poor too...Remember the success you achieved is at the cost of some general category poor people also who might have been much better than you. So please do beat your drums unless if you feel its a way to illustrate the quota effect and please help and make your community reservation free to some extent you can even though you are an average guy, please think something extra-ordinary. OK?

One can not use the tag for a job abroad. Of course one can use it for any high profile job when he or she returns to India. The whole point is that quota definitely gives transfers the opportunity from one person to another no matter whether the earlier is more deserving. Once you get the opportunity, except for idots everyone else knows how to get a job after undergoing any prof course

No one uses when they go out of IIT for job...but they enter into IITs with negative scores...By the way if anyone entered succeeded using SC/ST tag and came out and joined any job abroad, in no way I mean to offend them.

Once again can you think of some general category poor but above average chaps who missed the opportunity just because of you???. Make your ambitions large and help at least your community...

When we NRI s go out of country looking for opportunities which are denied by IG becos of my caste, they say you are using skills gained from India for other countries to make money.But i did n't get any reservation quota or scholarship.The people who say education is the only ramp....came thru Sc quota.Why can't he stay in India and serve his own people.Rather than making money from Uk.Why cant u return back ur scholarship money now.Take off ur quota/ caste name for ur generation.Can u do it?
