Please be corrected: <b>The Church DOES NOT pay anything to the College.</b> I know this from an ex-bursar of College who always lamented that unlike other trust colleges where trusts met 5 % of budget, the trust of College did not give even a bent nickel. <b>Moreover it is wrong to say that CNI bought the land etc. When College came into being or later shifted to prfesent site (in 1941) the CNI was not even in existence !!!</b>

It is important to remember that the issue is not about admission of Christian students but of creating another category of quota called "Dalit Christians" There is a case in the Supreme Court whther or not such a category can be a reservation category. Moreover, there is no viable way for certifying who is a Dalit Christian and who is a non-Dalit Charistian. If one looks at this closely one can realise that this new quota is merely a quota for bishops who will have the power to give dalit certifications. Thus it a programme for back door entry.
Also, there are two kinds of minority institutioins: those unaided and those that are aided. <b>St Stephen's is fully funded by the State. The Church does not give it even a paisa. Therefore it can have only those quotas that are sanctioned by the State.</b> Moreover this move will have serious repurcussions on the Christians themselves. So far in Christian colleges, as per law, minority seats are meant for ALL christians regardless of whether they are Catholics or Protestants or Baptists. Now, the door has been opened for a Catholic Christian College from having seats for Catholic only and keep protestants out and vice versa.
(Someone is worried their own kind won't be given free schooling anymore; as it will be in favour of other christos. Who said what goes around won't come around?)
