Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

The Unending Quantity of Quotas ?

 


 

Article link:

Parliament panel to debate proposal on private sector quota for Dalits, tribals

---

Extract from the article:

 

The Parliament panel is set to deliberate on the proposal for introducing quotas for Dalits and tribals in the private sector.

 

This contentious issue carries significant political and economic implications as it aims to address the concerns about the shrinking opportunities available for Dalits and tribals.

 

The discussion around this proposal underscores the ongoing debate on affirmative action and representation of marginalized communities in various spheres of society.

 

In a move that could potentially reshape the dynamics of employment opportunities, the proposal opens up a discourse on how to ensure fair and equitable access to opportunities in the private sector for historically disadvantaged groups like Dalits and tribals.

 

The discussion within the Parliament panel is expected to delve deep into the intricacies of implementation, the impact on the business environment, and the potential benefits for the overall social fabric of the nation.

My Take:

 

Divide Quota to Rule Raj

 

"In my blog post from 2018, I proposed a unique approach to address the challenges of quotas - the 'Skullduggery of Social Statistics.'

 

I suggested allocating specific percentages to different forward communities to ensure a fair distribution of opportunities.

 

This concept resonates with the current discussion on private sector quotas for Dalits and tribals.

 

By dividing quotas among various segments, we can prevent any community from monopolizing opportunities and ensure a more inclusive system."

Call to Action:

 

To the members of the Parliament panel debating the private sector quota proposal for Dalits and tribals, I urge you to consider the long-term societal benefits of equitable representation and access to opportunities.

 

It is crucial to strike a balance that fosters diversity and inclusivity while also promoting meritocracy.

 

Let your decisions prioritize the empowerment of marginalized communities and pave the way for a more just and progressive society.
