'Let us have quota, but let not caste be the criteria'

The UPA-Left combination had managed to do it again. Another decision on the 27 % reservation for OBC's in higher educational institutions which would have a disastrous impact for the youth of the country as they progress along in their academic careers

Ram Kelkar an alumnus of IIT Mumbai who is an investment professional in US brings out some vital facts on this issue and argues in a telling manner as to how the caste based reservation would eventually sound the death knell for the 'merit ' category and push the future generations of the young frustrated Indians out of the country for ever. Though the article is almost 3 months old it becomes all the more relevant as the Parliament finally prepares for the constitutional amendment after a formality review by the Parliamentary committee

Had sound economics been the basis for affirmative action,India would have been miles ahead today.

But politics is a different ball game.Who cares about the nation's welfare?

It is ok to favour students on the basis of a weak economic background but not on the basis of caste..
