Different results with same experiment??

I remember a friend of mine in my +2 days telling me that he had to go to a local school though he had scored very good marks to secure a seat in Korukonda Sainik school. As VP Singh Govt. decided to implement the recommendations of Mandal commission, though my good friend qualified to be in such a reputed school had to end up in a local school that was not bad but not as good as the reputed school that his parents aspired their kid to be in. How exactly it impacted his career opportunities in the years followed is definitely a case for anybody who has been in touch with him. I am sure Sudhakar's teacher would have got him to work little more to score few more marks to beat the reservations, if he was ever following anything that was going on beyond his school walls. But who is to be blamed? Sudha for sure didn't know as a kid what it was not going to that school. I met him 2 years ago when he was looking for a job and we did talk about 1990 reservations that made him to loose focus at times. Who can compensate for his career loss? Arjun Singh comes up with something now to change the system that has not yielded any results in the 56 year history of Independent India.

I recollect another case that happened in my UG days. There was this rich girl, who had access to best of education, with a score as low as 30 could sit in a class that had people with scores up to 170. It is hard not to believe that there were no losers because of this girl. Who compensate for their careers? I look at the qualified students who lost out than the career of this undeserved candidate. Can she really make up for the careers lost? I don't know what confirms me but a poor family suffered because of this very system that got no where even after its existence for years.

Einstein quoted, "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them". Another Singh after 15 years expect different results with the same experiment. When Govt. is not capable of doing anything to improve the quality of life for the backward sections, they think of reservations as the tool. We have had enough. We can only plead our leaders to think of something else at least now. Systems mature over years but systems that are managed by our politicians is one exception!
