Quota: Centre to offer 54% more seats

Wow, how innovative !!

Let's do the math:

Before "non-sense": (It was already a non-sense :)
100 seats : 77 general, 23 SC/ST

With the original non-sense:
100 seats : 50 general, 27 OBC, 23 SC/ST

With this new non-sense:
154 seats: 77 general, 42 OBC, 35 SC/ST

Here again, there is no benefit or gain to the students in general category. But look at the gain in the no. of seats in the reserved category. It would've been welcome if the Govt. had proposed something like this:

154 seats: 104 general, 27 OBC, 23 SC/ST
This would make more sense (a better non-sense)

Now the question is: Where is Mr Singh the PM going to get the additional 10000 crore ? Is there any innovative tax schemes in the FM's sleeve like the one which wiped off trillion rupees from the Indian stock markets in a week ?

Interestingly this quota issue has become a talk of not only the nation, but the entire world because of the high visibility India has in the international arena. It will be just a matter of time, before all the MNCs pack their bags off to other countries which follow equality in principle and practice.
