Judiciary:The Saviour

The SC verdict staying the decision to implement quotas for OBC's in higher education is a highly progressive one.It only reinforces my faith in the judiciary.Progressive thinking is the need of the hour,not retrogade thinking which is adopted by our political parties.That they will go to any lengths to indulge in votebank politics is a well-established fact.The continuation of quotas in our educational system only encourages and sustains casteism,which is something totally contrary to the vision most of us progressive Indians have of a 'modern and rising' India.India in its 60th year of independence certainly can do away with quotas and adopt 'affirmative action' policies instead.Meritocracy should be the only criteria in getting admission in any field.The problem is,will our politicians listen to the SC verdict and implement it in its entirety or as expected,tinker with it shamelessly?
