In a month or two we would witness the great rush for professional colleges all over India. Speaking about Karnataka which has a record number of professional colleges , one can see the anxiety faced by middle class parents belonging to general category having neither the cash nor caste or minority reservation that ensures their children a seat . I was witness to a heated argument between two ladies when be of them was happily talking about being able to choose a professional college for her son when he finishes his Pre university regardless of what he scores because she comes under the reserved category. This irritated the other lady whose son had no such privilege and inspite of working hard and scoring much better marks , is not guaranteed of a seat and led to an argument and may people present there were supporting the lady .
Our previous politicians have messed up the nation with reservation and later donation seats which takes away almost 18 percent of the total seats. The general category gets just 20 percent of the seats , so one can imagine the pressure on those students .. the reservation is carried forth to jobs and even promotions and some politicians want to take it even further ..
Should the govt ban both ..
