Reservation & Legislation

Isnt it ironical that the laws designed to prevent discrimination are by themselves discriminatory?

Take college admissions (its admission time now) or for that matter the case of people looking to work with the public sector. Does'nt it sound outrageous that you may lose an opportunity to someone, otherwise your equal, simply because they belong to a minority community. These laws like the "minority quota", I beleive are actually insulting to both the majorities & the minorities.

I would like to believe that these laws are in place because they are necessary, meaning that they actually help prevent racism. Sometimes, though, I can't help but think otherwise. Is this affirmative legislation?

On one hand it leaves some students with a strong bitter taste in the mouth and on the other hand it leaves others who use it to their advantage with a deep seated subconscious sense of intellectual inferiority and self worth .....

What a way to start life and step into the real world ....! Good Luck Young India.
