Niraj feels that the proposed 'Reservation' is a blessing in disguise for everyone from the 'General' category. The objection to Reservation, as raised by many, is that it would not give the equal oppotunity of Education to everyone. If we consider the words 'equal' and 'opportunity', then obviously they are right. But, the moment we consider the third and as Niraj thinks most important part 'Education', eveything turns upside down. Here, why is very natural question.
And This is why...
Niraj has seen that IITs and IIMs has kidnapped the real 'education' from the lives of majority of talented Indians. Being a talented kid in India means you will grow up and encash your talent via these two routes. Niraj takes his own example. Every person in his neigbourhood suggested him to study maths and english better, not because this would make you any good. Rather, without doing good in these two, your rest of education can't be encashed and hence useless.
For an average guy, the real education is stopped way back in secondary classes. Thereafter he starts concentrating on his science subjects and what kind of education one gets in an engineering college should not be discussed much. So, by the end of it all, he remains an uneducated in real sense and becomes an expert technician. Niraj has seen instances of IITians demanding huge dowries. Such instances by IAS guys is fairly common one and again should not be discussed further in order to save oneself from sounding cliched.
In case of IIMs, it's even worse. Of all people, about whom Niraj knows that they are interested in getting into IIMs, no one has given him any other reason for getting into IIMs excepting the kind of money it offers. There are a few exceptions, obviously. But those are exceptions and which make this 'rule' even more credible.
Now, if the talented mass of India discovers the real education, only after being deprived of seast from IITs and IIMs, Niraj says this is the best it can get.
