It is really a heartening and a sane development to hear the verdict of Supreme Court on the OBC quota in higher educational institutions. The central govt instead of raising this quota bogey to get its own political mileage, should concentrate on improving the infrastructure of our depressed and exploited people and revamp the poor and inefficient infrastructure of our sick educational institutions.
We should remember what Dr Ambedkar had said so poetically, the Govt can give the sword but not the bravery. Yes the bravery should spring up from the people who are the beneficiaries of the reservation facility.
You can not impose bravery and talent from outside. Let govt provide all possible opportunities for the under-privileged communities to unravel their mettle and talent. Let us remember Lincoln's famous words. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong, you cannot make the poor rich by impoverishing the rich. Yes, ultimately self-respect should prevail.
