Divide and Rule

This is one strategy that angrez used to have control over the population of hindustan. Well its been more than 50 yrs and nothing has changed still. If its not the angrez then its our leaderz.
I dont understand what is the need of having reservations in educational our institutions on the basis of caste??50% reservations for SC/ST in IITs and IIMs. Is it going to benifit the backward class people or is it in any way going to do any good for our country??
I dont think so...government should think of new ways of bringing the backward class people to level of , if I may call the "advanced people", insteaded of reserving seats for them.
Reserving seats could effect the nascent growth of economy and if the economy slows down then it will be difficult to uplift the poor and backward classes in any aspect leave alone education.
If a person has not had a good eductation background how can someone expect him or her to compete with someone who has had steady education background and has got admition only after passing through rigourous selection procedure. Its not only going to deteriorate the quality of people passing but also loss of opportunity for many deserving people.
Prakash Y Ambedkar, grandson of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar said that '..if you want different socities to come together, I think it is time that we decide that the use of word 'cast'..be banned in the country. But this seems to be a dream as our leaders want to maintain their votebanks and caste seems to a powerful tool.
So, the class welfare stays and so does Divide and Rule.
