Random Thoughts
The fact that your child is growing up and stepping into a really competitive zone is scary itself, but it is compounded more by the fact that in our country our children are slaves to the dreaded quota or reservation system. Those of us who are unaware of this system be warned that if you are a parent you will realize its implication soon....its a monster waiting to give you that rude shock one of these days.
Over the years the percentage of reservations for the downtrodden has increased by a huge margin and is seriously hampering the entire system whether it be admission to colleges, government jobs,et al.
Nobody is concerned about the fact that children of the new generation whether general or otherwise all have right to education. All of them need to go ahead in their chosen fields of interest.Not realizing it may cause them to be frustrated and turn them against the society/system forever.
Now even with very high scores general category students run from pillar to post during admission time while students with relatively poorer scores are landing plump seats in premier colleges just because they are stamped "SC/ST/OBC/Minority,etc".
Though successive governments have been talking of excluding the "creamy layer" from these categories, the actual efforts on ground do not seem to be having the desired effect; still we see large no of rich and super rich so-called downtrodden castes easily availing the quotas meant for the really poor or backward.
Nobody knows when this system of quota will end. Rather everyone is scared that the percentage may further increase.
Perhaps the day is not far when general categories need to be put in quota system and have seats blocked for them?
