First Arjun Singh and now ....

Karan Thapar cornered yet another politician. This time it is Kamal Nath, Minister of Industry and Commerce ...

Again this is a very long interview with Kamal Nath giving stupid answers. If you dont want to read the full thing, you might want to read this post instead (by youthcurry.blogspot) ... it is a bit verbose but well written

In fact there is one more post on the same blog which has a very interesting comment ...

This person says ...

I agree with the fact that creamy layer should be used, but it should NOT be based on wealth, but based on the education of the parents ... by the way, you should know that the Cut off for MBBS Course in Tamil Nadu is some thing like this

Open Quota - 296/300
BC - 295/300
SC - 294/300

In fact there is NOT EVEN ONE PERCENTAGE difference between the last candidate admitted under general quota and the last candidate admitted under SC Quota. Also, out of the 500 seats in Open Category, Forward Community take about 30 to 40 seats. This kind of social transformation is possible in Tamil Nadu because of RESERVATION THAT WAS INTRODUCED ONE GENERATION AHEAD.

I was surprised to note that there is a preparatory course of SC/ST in IIT. WHere as in Medical COlleges, the candidates perform ON PAR with other candidates. If you want such thing to happen in IIT give reservation of OBC and wait for 25 years.
