as long as the Commies have some influence...Rust is what it'll be...why didnt Nehru ban them when he had the chance during the china war...
its not the same luci...in the US, the companies (or even colleges) do not lower the standards for the beneficiaries of Affirmative Action. the entry criteria is the same for all, but for some number of seats, they consider the meritorious members of the minority. and most importantly, the affluent blacks do not use this crutch and even if they do try, the others wud discourage them - a question of ethics.Lucifer wrote:I don't understand what the hullabaloo over reservations in the private sector is about. Every country has it. The US calls it 'Affirmative Action', but in effect that is reservations. Posts are reserved for the minority in every enterprise in the US...
Lucifer wrote:Exactly my point, CAD. Who is asking you to lower merit? Are you telling me that not even one backward class person is meritorious enough to be a CEO? And if that is not the case, then why don't we have any CEO who belongs to the backward classes?
To me, this amounts to discrimination. And if the private companies are not taking 'Affirmative Action' then the government has to step in.

Perhaps it is Utopian. But there is much truth in what I have said. Just by labelling something as leftist hogwash you cannot hope to drive your point home. You need to substantiate it with facts. Even if it is a leftist thought, the very reason that it is a leftist thought does not mean that it automatically becomes wrong.
Lucifer wrote:You tell me, HP. How many physically challenged people does Reliance employ? Does physical disability have anything to do with a person's intellect? But we don't see the numbers getting reflected here. I shall come back to my point of the CEO again. Name one, only one, backward class CEO. In a country of over 55 crore backward class people, is not one meritorious enough to be a CEO? Please answer this question.

Oh trust me! The government does not have to force down sub-standard workforce down private companies' throats. You know why? Because the best brains appear for the civil services anyway. The private companies get second grade workforce like you and I.
Lucifer wrote:Besides, no one is asking the companies to employ people they do not deem worthy enough. Employ who you deem worthy. Just take some affirmative action for the backward classes. For almost 60 years the private companies did nothing about it. So, now the government has to impose itself on them. There is social accountability, and no enterprise can shy away from it.

I don't know why there is a perception that the public sector has lower productivity. The only Indian Fortune 500 company is a public sector enterprise. Some of the best companies in India are in the public sector - HPCL, BPCL, BHEL, ONGC, NTPC, NMDC, BSNL, etc.
