One of the major debates in the whole issue of reservation in higher education in India is about ‘merit’. Many people who oppose reservation are of the view that when quota based reservation is implemented then ‘merit’ is sacrificed.
Before proceeding further, we should answer the following questions:- - How is “merit” defined?
- How do we measure merit?
- Why is so-called merit confined so far only to a given minority section of our society?
- Do the existing institutions (in India or elsewhere) always respect only ‘merit’?
