This topic of reservation comes up often in these threads. People don't seem to realise that American universities have had strong Affirmative Action and Asian American kids (including Indian American kids) need far higher grades and test scores to get into top Universities. This is absolutely true in California even now - even though the law prohibits it and the Universities will deny it! On the other side, Zoho has thrived in Tamil Nadu and both AIADMK (MGR initiated the massive increase in reservation quota in early 1980s in higher education) and DMK have long maintained the same reservation policy here. It is a political non-issue in Tamil Nadu. Zoho has benefited from and has in turn benefited all the communities in Tamil Nadu. When private sector investment is strong (as has been the case in Tamil Nadu) reservation policy in education can help to create a bigger talent pool. When private sector investment is low, society becomes a zero sum game. This is why we must work to boost private sector investment in a big way, rather than fight about reservation. I repeat: Universities in California have very strong Affirmative Action programs too. And California also has had strong private sector investment.

🔥 CHECKMATE -Mustafa Ahmed, the Muslim actor who played Indian spy Rizwan in Dhurandhar 2, has delivered the most savage and unanswerable reply to everyone calling the film propaganda. “If this were a propaganda movie, why would Aditya Dhar cast ME in it? He could have easily given my role to a Hindu actor instead.” One question. Zero answers from the liberal brigade. Dhruv Rathee and the entire propaganda-crying ecosystem have been left completely speechless #dhuranandar2
