I recall that my batchmate who came from a Hindi medium school in Bihar - Gopal Kumar and made it to IIM-Kolkata thru quota was from the famous Netarhaat residential school in Bihar. 60% of the hostelmates were from Bihar and another 20% from NE India.
Netarhaat school seems to be having a rigourous educational program - though tought in Hindi. Another batchmate from there -in Hindi Honors program -Chandan-ji became the President of Debating Society (Deb. Soc.) - the society being among the best in Delhi Univ. -ie in India. He debated only in Hindi though unlike most others who debated in English. They all changed their lifestyle and dressing sense after reaching DU though.
It seems language barrier is difficult but not too difficcult to overcome.

Good point by the author though --we must have 50% reservation in Indian Parliament and State Legislatures also.And why leave out minority run institutions when implementing in all Hindu run ones?Umesh

Now they have only sought to increase it to 50% -by also including OBCs (Other Backward castes) -as per mandal Commission.Tow of my college batch (and hostel) mates from Kirorimal College , Delhi got into IIMs thru the quote for SC/STs - Santosh Kumar joined IIM-Lucknow. He was a brilliant , student from middle class family from elite Doon School -where he had also won the prestigious Duke of Edinburg award by Britsh Royals and was captain of 5 sports teams. Other was Gopal Kumar, a sincere student but a bit lazy who repeated the first year at college. He joined IIM-Kolkata --he was from a Hindi medium school though.I think they deserved it.What do you think?UmeshPS: We were in the first year when Mandal Commission agitation took place and hudreds died by suicide etc -and as part of hostel ragging (regardless of caste) all were made to oppose it by joining rallies etc. The Kranti Chowk from right in front of the hostel - the eye of the storm
