"The time has come for today's Brahmins to emulate my father and scores of his kind in his generation. Merit and sheer hard work is one sure combination to beat the quota system. The alternative is that maxim: if you can't beat them, join them. Obtain a forged SC/ST/OBC cert in this kalyug of ours."
I second this. In India previously it was a standard practice to change the year of birth on a birth certificate forward one, in order to give a child an advantage in school. The modern equivalent ought to be a forged cert...or if necessary a name change to an OBC last name. I'm surprised more people haven't done these things, given the amount of open seats available due to lack of fulfilling reservations.
