The quota system has been a boon for the politicians to capture the vote banks and with UP having a huge number of SC/ST/OBC, this decision might help them prove a point.
Professional education should be run on merit and not on caste, class or economic stature.
Let's look at the objective behind this. If the real objective is to ensure that backward caste needs to get equal opportunity, then they can get into colleges run by the Govt. It need not be the IIT's, IIM's, AIIM's and the REC's.
If the candidate is capable, provide them free education, i don't mind that but keeping a certain percentage reserved for them will not solve the objective.
The objective is not to have a sub standard Dr, engg or a manager. The objective is to provide them equal opportunity to have the education, provided they have the capability.
If they are so desperate to get the IIM title, they can open a IIM-jumhritalaya and only admit candidates of thier choice. We can then see how the institute works and whether or not they get placements.
If India wants to become a world power, then we need to increase the standard of living and provide equal opportunity. This is not by reserving seats for diff caste; it would be by rewarding the capable people and providing incentives for people to improve and display thier capabilties, else we would end up as yet another commie nation run by beaurocracy and red tapism.
We are in a point of time where Indians who had migrated to other countries are coming back or promoting India. We do not want more brain drain.... we want to attract them and let them promote the entreprial spirit.
