India’s Affirmative Action
UPI – Clash of capitalist and government rulesets:
India’s government plans to double the number of lower caste students admitted to universities in its latest move to break up the country’s Hindu caste system.
The announcement has prompted protests by large groups of medical and engineering students who say the quota system will squelch merit at India’s most respected universities and further fracture Indian society. Additional protests are expected when Parliament reconvenes for its winter session, the Times said.
Not a good idea to put a lot of pressure on the education system which happens to be the largest provider of social mobility.
