More Reading's On The Issue... Fifteen years ago near financial bankruptcy compelled the Indian State to loosen License Raj in the economic field.

Read Full Story The Next Partition of India There is nothing fundamentally wrong with the quota system as long as it is applied judiciously and at the right levels. It cannot become a blanket solution for all time to come. It is absolutely imperative that we right wrongs done to a vast section of our society. The question is whether keeping them frozen in those labels forever is the right approach. I do not think so. What we need is to create opportunities for everyone of equal merit to have proper access. On this subject there are many views and many sentiments. At times people look at ...

A t a time when the Congress government wants to raise the quota for Other Backward Classes to 49.5 per cent in private and public sectors, nobody talks about the plight of the upper castes. The public image of the Brahmins, for instance, is that of an affluent, pampered class. But is it so today? There are 50 Sulabh Shauchalayas (public toilets) in Delhi; all of them are cleaned and looked after by Brahmins (this very welcome public institution was started by a Brahmin). A far cry from the elitist image that Brahmins have! There are five to six Brahmins manning each Shauchalaya. They came to Delhi eight to ten years back looking for a source of income, as they were a minority in most of their villages, where Dalits are in majority (60 per cent to 65 per cent). In most villages in UP and Bihar, Dalits have a union which helps them secure jobs in villages. Did you know that you also stumble upon a number of Brahmins working as coolies at Delhi's railway stations? One of ...

In Tamil Nadu, the 69 per cent (30% BCs, 20% MBCs, 18% SCs, 1% STs) quota was arrived at without any proper study of caste figures. This distribution may bear little resemblance to ground realities. Says P. Radhakrishnan, professor at the Madras Institute of Development Studies: "It was an arbitrary political decision with no sociological basis." As a result, SCs, BCs and MBCs have begun to outperform the so-called forward communities, cornering a majority of the open competition (OC) seats. In the 2005 medical entrance, out of a total of 1,445 seats in 12 medical colleges, 430 seats were available in open competition. As many as 321 BC, 57 MBC and 14 SC students made it in the OC list. Only 38 from 'forward' communities qualified. "This shows the upholders of merit are talking rubbish," says G.R. Ravindra nath of Doctors Association for Social Equality.
