Hi,
In
my opinion, the judgement of the 5-member constitutional bench has
opened a pandora's box. The Supreme Court has unfortunately given a open
license to the 'so-called' minority institutions who can now run their
educational supermarket without any fetter or regulation under the very
nose of Courts and Governments.
It
is a stated fact that hundreds of minority philanthropic institutions
have been undertaking the noble service of providing quality education
to several generations of Indians irrespective of caste, creed or
religion or poverty right from the days of the British till now. They
brought in education revolution in this country of unlettered and
deprived.
But,
unfortunately, in this last 20 years of globalised , privatised market
economy, a large number of minority institutions have been taking the
cover of their unfettered constitutional right, only to make good amount
of money by peddling education in a brazen and unethical manner. Can
the Supreme Court overlook this stark reality? Are the minority schools
giving seats only to minorities? No.
There
are several so-called minority status 'EDUCATIONALISTS' who fleece
their own minority students by charging huge fees and creating their own
brand. Kerala and Tamil Nadu are in the forefront of such minority
peddlers of schooling. This Supreme Court ruling may, in hind sight may
divide India and bring in reverse discrimination.
With this judgement, even minority colleges can now refrain from
admitting students through Government counselling and need not provide
any reservation or quota.
Here
after, Government cannot enter to regulate minority run schools or
colleges. Tomorrow, even if a future Government wants to put an end to
private schools and usher in a common public school system, they cannot
do. Common school system will remain a distant dream. It looks like
the door for future reforming of Educational sector has been permanently
and firmly shut. Very depressing indeed and feels discouraged.
