The indian government's intention of introducing caste based quotas for the "other backward classes" in centrally funded institutions of higher learning and the prime minister's suggestion to the private sector to ‘voluntarily go in for reservation', has once again sparked off a debate on the merits and demerits of caste-based reservations. unfortunately, the predictable divide between the votaries of "social justice" on one hand and those advocating "merit" on the other seems to have once again camouflaged the real issues. it is necessary to take a holistic and non-partisan view of the issues involved. the hue and cry about "sacrificing merit" is untenable simply because merit is after all a social construct and it cannot be determined objectively in a historically unjust and unequal context. the idea of competitive merit will be worthy of serious attention only in a broadly egalitarian context. but then, caste is not the only obstacle in the way of an egalitarian order.
