Several students said that the survey had insensitive and irrelevant questions. One question asked respondents to rate how often they witnessed a particular type of caste discrimination. It offered “never” as one of the choices and “so common that I don’t even bother” as another.

While the Indian system of quotas has worked in public universities, the US has done far better at opening up the ranks of the elite, writes Mihir Sharma.

#MLK ‘relating a conversation he had with… #Nehru about India’s programs of preferential treatment for former “untouchables”…
“if two applicants compete for entrance into a college or university, one of the applicants being an untouchable and the other of high caste, the school is required to accept the untouchable.”

EPW editorial: Is Caste a Private Matter?
As has been argued again and again right from the formation of the Constitution, caste and inequalities of different kinds are intricately interlinked with each other. Therefore, it is necessary to both talk publicly about caste and document its relative position in the opportunity structures, which becomes all the more necessary for a country that has an egalitarian Constitution. It is discrimination and deprivation that provides a legitimate ground for the very interrogation of caste.

Justice Dinesh Maheshwari had said exclusion of the classes covered by Articles 15(4), 15(5) and 16(4) (SEBCs/OBCs/SCS/STS) from getting the benefit of reservation as EWS did not violate the Equality Code and did not not in any manner cause damage to the basic structure of the Constitution of India.

If the EWS quota was the first step, this move of the Karnataka government is the next step in subverting the purpose of reservation to nullify historical inequalities and social oppression by rejecting socio-economic and educational backwardness as a yardstick for reservation.
