You sound like the self-conscious beneficiary of a reservations policy:-)) Besides, I looked in vain above for anything intelligent that you had to say on the subject. > Either George has a curious vested interest in the issue of reservations in India - while living in the USA I might add - or doesn't have a funny bone in his entire body. Besides, while issuing a rant full of invective and generalities, he conspicuously fails to explain why reservations ahould not be applied to the Indian sports teams :-)) Don't disadvantaged groups have frustrated athletes that need help as well? :-)) > George obviously believes that a policy of wholesale reservations on the scale used in India benefits the beneficiaries in the long run far more than an alternative program that may seek to help them help themselves by actually becoming professionally competitive. This is precisely what an athlete from a disadvantaged group would have to go through. > Wholesale reservations policies have little to do with helping anyone, and everything to do with buying votes. >
