Merit ...

I think in people/organization do better in what they are not supposed to do …

First media…that was lacking in many ways by providing gossips, focusing on Page3 crowd, scandalizing all news, making news to keep them busy 24*7…became a tool of social justice by becoming the voice behind Jessica Lal, Nitish Katara and Priyadarshani Mattoo case… bring to light the conscience of common man

Arundhati Roy the celebrated writer is now better known as the activist behind the “Narmada Bachao Aandolan”

Politicians are lately seen more effective in attending wedding of star sons and accompanying their families to poojas then making and upholding policies

And India’s judiciary known for having little respect in terms of time for both victims and accused…it takes 13-16 years to finalize judgment on even the high profile cases, is making policies for the country like deciding on the reservation issue; keeping the democracy alive by rebuffing the politicians time and again, saving the pride of Indian capital by banning the roadside food stalls and giving attention to the fundamentalist deprave by registering a case against Gere and Shetty

Hmmm… may be its time to redefine the roles and responsibilities based on the proficiencies and ignoring the orthodox roles … like denying any reservation based on caste or religion, the only rule being merit…

The definition of merit itself is very subjective and biased...as an example, the bastions of merit like MIT and Stanford in the current era do things in the name of diversity that would have been deemed unmeritorious a couple of decades ago...

But there is no denying the fact that indian politicians are bigots....
