It’s lazy policy making. Affirmative action should be based on generational poverty. India has had caste based reservations for a while. There is no going back

It’s lazy policy making. Affirmative action should be based on generational poverty.
India has had caste based reservations for a while. There is no going back. Now sometimes 60 to 80 percent of government jobs or higher education seats are reserved.
A sad joke.
- markdown 5y ago> Now sometimes 60 to 80 percent of government jobs or higher education seats are reserved. There's your problem. Not the fact that there's affirmative action, but that it doesn't reflect society. Affirmative action should always result in outcomes that reflect society. So 60% is fine if 60% of the population are dalits (or whatever the protected class is). Basically you review it every few years so that it always reflects society.
