Let me clear one thing....that in India some institutes provide stipends to economically backwards but this facility is well manipulated by the rich and heavy weights of different sectors.

In private sector 20 to 40 % seats are already occupied by the backwards but the highest post these people have reached is up to the manager’ (marketing) level and nothing more. Backwards are no where in the management in private sectors.

I am waiting to understand if the opponents of reservation policy have any concrete suggestions so that the monopoly of the uppers can be challenged.

Let them challenge by hard work and lots of motivation. I know, nepotism is there. but that's somewhat different issue altogether.

Besides, in management we seriously need people who are commited, talented, hardworking and well experienced.

You know what......there is a company called 'wipro e peripherals' now renamed as WEP in my place. They have their own policy towards social responsibility. They give 'first' preference to those who are 'poor and talented'.
