I don’t understand did the minister lose his mind or is he purposely trying to weaken the rich human capital of India from within? The idea behind student quota for elite institutes was to let the less privileged children get quality education. At least that is what was communicated by the ministry. But, practically that would be impossible if this new quota is implemented. So the equation would be weak students getting taught by weaker faculties!
Now let’s look at what could be the reasons for this decision;
Securing vote banks? Just that? I don’t think so. Looks like that’s just tip of the iceberg. Something else is there. It could be;
- That the minister did not realize what he was doing, or he is short sighted? Now if he did not realize and created this out of seer imagination and without any actual thoughts, research and analysis wasn’t there anyone who is smart enough to get this corrected. Are all our ministers this short sighted?
- Or he realized but does not bother about a wholesome social enrichment? If he realized and does not bother about it then it’s more crucial. Is it because his future is secured so he is not bothered, or it is because he does not know his job, or he doesn’t want the country to become developed from developing? Is it a full fledged agenda of these men to weaken India in these 5 years of rule? Or is it some developed country has asked for it and did some personal favor? It could be also because IIT’s and IIM’s are considered one of the best in the world and some selfish giants did not like it. And these are the steps to permanently bring down the status!
I may sound like Sherlock Holmes, however I can’t help but think this way. I too hope most of the above is not true, what if they are true?
I am sure young students are capable of fighting against this, but is this fight only of the young students? Shouldn’t we join hands? After all we are part of the same society and would be affected some way or the other if this evil thing is brought to implementation.

If decisions are irrational then there is always a political motivation behind it. Anyway i firmly believe you can't stop a bunch of determined bright students from being successful despite the all the red tape.
Thats true... here the problem is quality of students and then teachers who can groom the students to be bright. Imagine substandard students getting admission in the IITs and IIMs, then taught by substandard faculties. What kind of product would be expected at the end? I know I am probably over-reacting... but sometimes this makes me ponder over, where are we heading as a nation?
Gunaseelan commented on this, though in mail. Thought I should post it here... would be a good read :)
"Good write up. It is indeed thought provoking. Mathematically it works as follows.
1. Good Input (Students on Merit) + Good Process (Professors on Merit) = Best Output
2. Bad Input (Students selected on caste basis) + Good Process (Professors on Merit) = Average Output
3. Good Input (Students on Merit) + Bad Process (Professors on Caste basis) = Average Output
4. Bad Input (Students selected on caste basis) + Bad Process (Professors on Caste basis) = Worst Output
The fourth scenario detailed above is what will happen when Professors/Lecturers are selected based on Caste instead of merit.
Hope I have managed to confuse you enough"
nice blog..
