But they absolutely don't use them right. Everywhere, 70% of all jobs or applications for universities are reserved for people who don't even need to score 20% to get selected. And the actual bright minds have no proper place. Then the government wails and complains of brain drain but people cannot criticize the reservation thing because the benifiter's great great great great grandfather was treated horribly so they absolutely need to run the country into the ground and hurt people who have nothing to do with them. And the worst thing? These unqualified people who don't know a word about the things they should be knowing, are getting into jobs such as doctoring and so , innocent patients have to suffer for it. And these people , generally aren't even poor as they get the upper hand in everything career related, but for some reason they are stereotyped as still being poor and mistreated .
