>If you are a Dalit with 50% mark you will get admission to a medical seat and you will be a cardiac surgeon, but if a brahmin girl gets 99% she will not get admission and will be a clerk.

That brahmin girl may also go onto become the Defense Minister of India and then the finance minister because she is the right caste.

Meanwhile, the poor Dalit surgeon will be ostracized at his work and gets harassed by casteist everyday and is so depressed that he can't sleep and thinks about suicide all the time.

Nepotism tastes like butter but Affirmative action tastes bitter. This is the definition of hypocrisy.
