#KillerQuotas
The Wokeism that permeates this article is extraordinary.

I could not have got into the IIT if I had stood on my head. I was just not good enough academically.

If I had been admitted because of my caste I would have crumbled.

Those who cast all kinds of aspersion on 'merit' in the IIT's should ask themselves why companies across the world beat a path to the IITs or why their alumni now head a vast number of Fortune 500 companies.

Surely, there is no world-wide casteist conspiracy.
The simple fact is that the IITs are an academic gladiatorial arena in which no quarter is given

That holds good for students of all castes.

It is preparing students for a kind of "Tech Olympics". Lowering standards of admission is the stupidest possible thing.
a) Bad for IIT's world-wide reputation &
b) Evil, for the consequences it has for a Solanki, pitchforked into an arena he was never meant to enter.

What did you expect would happen, if you introduced students on the basis of quotas?
Anyone having the genuine interests of the OBCs/Dalits/Scheduled Tribes should have lavished resources on their education & skilling, to enable to them to hold their own.

When students of merit are known to crumble under pressure & commit suicide, is it not criminal
to throw "quota" students into the arena?

Darshan Solanki is a victim of a flawed policy which political correctness prevents people from calling out.

And yes,there is now an absolute vested interest, social, political & religious, which has no qualms in using students as pawns
and in destroying our elite institutions.

It is they who should be made to answer for their crimes.

"let’s talk about the Honourable Supreme Court of India, where 38% of the incumbent judges have deep family connections in the Judiciary & Govt, which means 12 of 32 judges are either related to a former Judge or to a political leader."

opindia.com/2022/08/pm-mod…
"Prima Facie, it feels like Judiciary is being kept hostage by a few selected families, all because of the methodology of selecting SC Judges that is an appointment by a collegium & not by merit or any examination"

"data of HC judges also give rise to suspicions of nepotism"
"Here is the list of Supreme Court Judges who have familial connections in the Judiciary or politics:

U. U. Lalit – Next Chief Justice of India, Son of UR Lalit, former add. Judge of Bombay High Court and Senior Counsel in the Supreme Court"

Here, then, is Ambedkar on Islam:

“Hinduism is said to divide people and in contrast Islam is said to bind people together.

This is only a half-truth"
"For Islam divides as inexorably as it binds.

Islam is a close corporation and the distinction that it makes between Muslims and non-Muslims is a very real, very positive and very alienating distinction.

The brotherhood of Islam is not the universal brotherhood of man"
"It is brotherhood of Muslims for Muslims only.

There is a fraternity, but its benefit is confined to those within that corporation.

For those who are outside the corporation, there is nothing but contempt and enmity"

#WhatDidYouzExpect

Remember this Anand?

India's top court on Monday dismissed a petition seeking the omission of 26 verses from the Muslim holy book of the Quran.

aa.com.tr/en/asia-pacifi….
"Rizvi, the former chairman of the Shia Central Board of Waqf (Trust) in the state, filed the petition with the apex court last month claiming that parts of the Quran are "provocative of violence" and incite people to "jihad," which he interpreted as armed struggle."
“It is an absolutely frivolous petition,” said the court bench headed by Justice Rohinton F Nariman, according to local English daily Hindustan Times."

"While China’s population was 1.5 times larger than India’s in 1975, even the Chinese government’s exaggerated official figures show that it was smaller last year (1.411 billion compared to 1.417 billion)."
"In reality, India’s population surpassed China’s a decade ago, and it remains on track to be nearly 1.5 times larger than China’s in 2050, with a median age of 39 – a full generation younger than China’s (57)."

#MisinformAndRule
In Guha's view:

* There are no such people known as Pasmanda (Those left behind)native Indian Muslims who constitute 85% majority OR Ashraf Muslims who claim Arbi/Irani/Turkic ancestry who constitute just 15%,but oppress & dominate the Pasmanda till this day.
* So the residual "Hinduness" of the Pasmanda which kept the so-called Ganga-Jamuna Tehzeeb flowing, was just the celebration of common cultural bonds of Hindus,and those among them, converted to Islam.
e.g. President Kalam/Ustad Bismillah Khan/Mohammad Rafi were all Pasmanda.
* THIS, the Distorian will not admit. Nor the fact that the Ashrafs till today monopolise the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, Wakfs, Governing Boards of Aligarh Muslim University/Jamia Milia etc.

* The Distorian will not accept that it is movements like the

#Quyammat
This 'proud' Napakistani [probably terrified of Sar Tan Se Juda] shows you why that Terrorist State cannot change. It is headed for Quyammat. ndtv.com/india-news/ins…
For the benefit of people here, who tend to be fooled by shows of friendship listen to Pervez Musharraf tell you who his real heroes are...

And to @HillaryClinton
