It's the height of ridiculousness that even in the brink of 2020 one has to explain how reservation is not a poverty alleviation program but about representation. This 'ignorance' is not organic, it's intentionally sustained by those who were in power all these years.

It's not like this distinction is so nuanced that people can't understand it. It's just that they don't want to understand it and more importantly, they don't want others to understand it.

What is the most depressing thing about this Fathima murder ? None of her classmates have come to streets to fight for her death.

This is what competitive entrance exams does to people. It makes people see classmates as competitors instead of friends.

Can you imagine a similar thing happening in arts colleges ? No. Because there students care about each other.

Also, this Hindu habit of "Teachers should be worshipped" should die. Students should start calling teachers by name, as a 1st step.
