I understand pretty well what I am bringing up here. If you did follow the saga during the protests against quota system - there are two broad categories GM & OBC. No government entity can deny admission to OBC. As for as GM goes - in some institutes where applicants have to go through interviews or they are recruited on a demand basis there is always a huge influence of clan - which makes the concentration of Brahmin clan.

Regarding distribution of castes in the entire population - it is of no interest. We are speaking only of the institutes - IISc, ISRO, DRDO and that it is skewed with Brahmins and SC/ST. Additionally, existence is not same as power/ influence. I can bet the environment looks better at any of the IITs or RECs. That should suffice as a response.

Please follow up offline (Again I think u joined yesterday just to fire this debate with no info on profile) if u do want to fire a debate or do some follow up or walk into IISC or ISRO. I think HN is not a right place.

> Again I think u joined yesterday just to fire this debate

There is a created field in the profile.

Edit: And yes, this should not have been raised here in the first place. This is not the forum for random prejudices.

I think you are too coward to even expose your identity and falsely blaming this as a random prejudice when you are incompetent of understanding what is written.

> this should not have been raised here in the first place. I am not a coward and I expressed what I strongly feel about and have seen first hand. I am not taking it back nor am I continuing this wasteful discussion trying to get some sense into people like you and below commenter (I guess its the same person). Existence of you folks is what forces the brain drain.

There is no point debating with you. Closed.

> I think you are too coward to even expose your identity

Ah, yes. Rational arguments. Nice.

> .. below commenter (I guess its the same person)

and conspiracy theories to boot. I don't know who the "below commenter" you are referring to is, but as I mentioned, there is a created field in the profile so you can see if my profile was created yesterday just to bother you. You ignored that. But then I guess that would of course be dealing with facts.

The point of my original post was to give you something to think about on two fronts : "full of either brahmins or SC/ST" and regarding the south that "casteism has always been a problem here". The population talk was regarding the second point (as I also mentioned in the original post). But again, you seem to have missed that.

Thanks and consider the favour returned.
