The ruling classes have moved to consolidate and legitimise their casteist hegemony over premier educational institutes by trying to abolish reservation of teaching posts. Soon it will follow even for students. The only Dalits in IIT will then be conservancy staff.
This calls for a Dravida Kazhagam style violent agitation, which rid Guindy Engineering College, AC Tech and other colleges in Tamil Nadu from upper caste hegemony in the 70s.
What I fail to understand is why is the Congress hell-bent on committing political suicide before the General elections?

"The Centre plans to exempt some academic institutions from job reservations for scheduled castes and scheduled tribes except in the lowest grade posts under a bill drafted in a manner that suggests the opposite."
The elite institutions want reservations for dalits to be taken away from all the high paying jobs because it spreads casteism.
However, they want reservations in the lowest grade jobs to remain unchanged forever! Indeed, this will rid us of all casteist brahminical oppression of over 500 years!
