The Government of India's new policy, if implemented, will take the reservations in government-funded higher education institutions (IITs, IIMs and many others) to 49.5% from the current 22.5% for SC and ST students.
It is sad that politicians for want of votes comeup with these kind of stupid ideas. India is infested with politicians whose aim is vote bank. Politicians do this for their vote bank. We have it in Medical also but not a single politician gets himself treated by these kind of Doctors. Why do they go to US for operations if they are so confident of their own doctors ?
Its high time our politicians change their attitude becuase nowhere in the world a student with 40% is preferred over a student with 80% marks only on the basis of caste.If we continue with this systmes we will be digging our graves & I see no reason why politicians can't increase the reservation percentage.
I feel we should stop calling ourselfs as a country which has equality as its motto. It is easy for politicians to make the quota system as their own children study abroad with our money. We pose them a challenge, let their kids pass out some entrance exam with good percentage and be denied. No wonder with quotas like this there is brain drain. Actually insteaad of helping them, we are actually ruining their life and Indias future. Instead provide them with special classes or books or libraries where they can study and come up on their own. By spoon feeding them we are increasing the line between the two classes.
One should give proper basic education facilities to all the people but when it comes to Higher education like Medicine , Engg, Management etc it should be only on pure merit otherwise those who pass from our colleges will looked down upon.
If the power greedy politicians will continue to implement policies like this, India would certainly loose all of its bright students ( future leaders for country) to welcoming hands of western countries. The rate of immigration is already very high. These policies would act like a stimulus for those more patriotic ones(who are staying here), to leave this country & find there path in places where merit is the consideration.
After all,Who wants to live in a place where success is not based on merit and qualification but on nepotism, politics, and unfair advantage?
As far as ethical & moral issues of this reservation policy is concerned, everyone of us knows....................
Possible Effects:
Students, across universities and schools claimed that they felt unwanted in their own country and said they had little option now but to try and immigrate both for their education and employment.
These type of stupid policies by these vote hungry corrupt politicians could see a dramatic rise in the number of students travelling to the US, UK and Australia.
