Accepting the inevitable

Just so we're clear about this, let's go over it one more time.

• We, collectively, all feel very bad for those communities that have suffered injustice
• Government (we) even goes (waay) out of line to ensure that members of those communities are provided with education in an effort ostensibly to uplift them

But that wasn't enough? Now what do people want?

Did one actually expect the bulk of the SC/ST students, who found themselves all of a sudden in the IITs and premier engineering and medical colleges, to suddenly discover hidden talent? Is a strong grasp of the fundamentals of science and math an innate genetic ability or for the most part does it take years of revising the basics, slowly creating a robust educational base while incrementally adding to it every year.

So if some of these SC/ST students are asked to leave by their respective institutes for not being able to maintain the minimum acceptable academic level, it's bloody unfortunate, but tough!
