A community called the Jats have been rioting in Haryana. One youth died and 50 were injured on Monday. Yesterday they burnt buildings, cars and buses and were so out of control that the army had to be called in and curfew has been declared in parts of the state. So what is the reason for this uncontrollable fury? Jats want to be classified as Other Backward Classes or OBC which will allow them to get admission to premier institutions with very low marks and access to government jobs over more qualified candidates. Couple of years ago there were pitched battle between Gujjars and Meenas in Rajasthan. The Gujjars wanted to be classified as Scheduled Tribe but the Meenas opposed their application because they have been the sole beneficiaries so far and did not want to share their unfair, undeserved advantage. It has become a crime to be born of upper caste parents. Such children have to work 100 times as hard to get admission in good colleges. Those who can afford it put their children in private schools at great cost, pay enormous sums for private tutorials and may have to pay millions under the table to get their children into professional colleges if they miss out on the limited number of seats in government colleges. It is hard to imagine the agony of a child and parents if the child misses out by one mark and then sees useless students laughing their way in with a fraction of the marks. Three SC students were expelled as per IIT rules for failing repeatedly but the Supreme Court said that they should be allowed to continue and professors should give them extra tuition. Is it any wonder that our educational institutions are rated as rubbish? Second class citizens in our own country.
