ABCD : lower education :: OBC,BC,MBC : Higher education

This topic has become so popular one in India after our beloved HRD minister announced the revisition of the reservation quotas in Higher education. So I thought why not I put in some of my views on this topic since my blog is primarily meant for these discussions.

I had always been on the protesting side when it comes to reservation in Education. By preserving a seat for a reserved candidate, a deserved candidate is denied his future and his dreams.

Reservations hinder the healthy competition among students to get into country's topmost institutions. This would also lead to a dont care situation among the reserved candidates for education. How? if they are told that they would be guaranteed seats in IITs why would they study hard to get in those institutions?

Finally, how knowing ABCD is important in one's kintergarden education similarly knowing about the quotas in reservation for OBC,BC,MBC is much more important in his/her's higher education. Strange!!! But only in India...

Our politicians have forgotten this excellent piece of poetry by Bharathiyar... "சாதிகள் இல்லயடி பாப்பா, குலத்தாழ்ச்சி உயர்ச்சி சொல்லல் பாவம்"
