[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am afraid all these quotas (or bonus points) eventually turn into crappy caste based reservation system in India. There was a famous statement from well known tech ceo - "India is the only country where people fight to get discriminated". In India, 50% of all available seats in higher education (ex: engineering, medical, management etc) are reserved and distributed among many different castes and different castes get different allocations. And on top, 33% is reserved to women. If this is not enough, the same reservation system continues into all the government positions. This is is not the end either - there is special channel and/or preference given in promotions with in the jobs to those who come from reservations also.

It becomes so obvious in colleges, in most cases, you can easily figure out which type of 'reservation/qutoa' the kid came from just by looking at their grades. In addition, kids automatically segregate themselves into different groups as many kids tend to associate themselves with other kids at their level intellectually (ex: in school projects etc). The same applies in government jobs, but it becomes even more demotivating to those who worked hard to get the job just to see some one who is obviously less talented with lesser qualifications, get the same job with reservation and gets promoted a lot faster than you do.

This is very true. Standards are actually lowered based on the castes for admissions in India. Most colleges follow rank based system for admissions and its fairly common to find some one who scored a rank of under 500 offered same exactly same admission as another who scored a rank of 40000 under reservation system i.e., think about treating 99 percentile same as 40 percentile. Also, when you apply for a government position, think about you requiring a minimum 3.75 GPA to even apply and some other applicant can easily get the same job even with 2.0 GPA. This is what indian reservation system turned into and politicians keep encouraging this and even add more types of 'quotas' and or find ways to increase the total allocations to even over 70% available to secure votes in elections. I hope we don't run into that.
