The doctors clamouring against reservations for OBCs have demanded that merit be the sole
admission to medical and engineering colleges. Then how is it that they haven't objected

Reservation is not a phenomenon exclusive to our country. The American MNC, IBM, volun
introduced reservations for Blacks in 1930. In Malaysia there are reservations not just in jobs but als
contracts, licences and company shares for Malays. Reservation for the depressed and weaker sec
exists in many countries like Brazil, South Africa, Japan, the Netherlands and Ireland. There is 50
cent reservation for Blacks and women in the medical faculty of Harvard University. And the White
have never made an issue of being eligible only for 50 per cent of the seats. In fact, it is the handful of
anti-reservationist doctors, who talk of disintegration of society on account of reservation, who are really
responsible for creating dissension and obstacles in the ways of social justice for the OBCs. The met

lead the struggle against social discrimination.
Reservationists get a job or admission even if they get less percentage of marks. In one case, a person was
in the Indian Revenue Service. He saw that candidates getting high marks in a competition were not
necessarily successful in the field. Merit, as it is being presently understood, does not include honesty,
hard work and patriotism. In the American school system, besides the syllabus, students have to undergo
practical training in social service etc and marks are added in the certificate based on performance in this
area.
