Should the reservation in Indian education sector be based solely on income?
That makes sense. But what about the criticism that reservations based on any criteria compromise meritocracy?
The purpose of the reservation system is not to compromise meritocracy, but to provide access to education for underprivileged students who would otherwise not have the opportunity. Thus, a balance needs to be struck between supporting those in need and ensuring that merit is still valued and rewarded.
