America is investing in futuristic technologies like flying cars, while India continues to debate merit, reservation, and fairness in medical admissions.
Acharya Surya Sagar Ji Maharaj’s reported remarks have reignited a discussion about whether students with higher NEET scores are being treated fairly under the reservation system. The debate raises important questions about merit, equal opportunities, social justice, and access to medical education.
Supporters of merit-based selection emphasize academic performance and competitive examination scores, while supporters of reservation highlight historical inequalities and the need for representation in education.
The real challenge is to ensure that every deserving student gets a fair opportunity while addressing social disadvantages.
