Dinesh is here talking for reservations. I agree we need reservations We seem to disagree at what level. I want merit to be the criteria and to bring the under privileged group of students to achieve this merit this reservations should be introduced for training the kids at the school level. This way The foundation will be strong. Once the foundation is strong every one is on a plain field No UC/BC/MBC etc. For this the govt should start investing in our schools get more qualified teachers.
Down side of the current reservation system, Imagine a student from a village comes into a top Engineering college, he will definitely feel out of place because his peers will be way ahead of him in confidence because of the exposure they have had. Wouldn't that be solve by my suggestion above? The other down side when they pass out of college they will again have to depend on reservation to get employment. Instead if he becomes a merit students he can show the way rather that follow the way? Would that not do wonders to the country?
People also tend to exploit this situation. When I was in Nagpur I met a friend of my cousin who openly says that he just go pass marks because he belonged to SC and thats what his father had said to get a seat in REC Nagpur. The height is that when he was born his father had also pulled some strings to get a SC certificate while he belonged to what would be BC. Is this fair on other SC student who might have lost the spot? Is this what we teach our children to cheat and deceive? Do we want that?
Now coming to this other character KRIS, less said is better. He is spewing venom on Brahmins. I am not sure if he is in genuine need of some help in a mental institution. If given the power he will do an Hitler on Brahmins looks like? This is precisely what Akash has posted against.
