I finished reading it today - 175 pages minus the refs. It is a remarkable study that confirms many of the things that were "suspected" but not documented in a study. There are at least a few new things I have learned from teh study.
Perhaps the most surprising conclusion I have gleaned is that "reservation" in private IT industry jobs may be the only way of bringing in at least some of vast numbers of India's "traditionally backward" classes into the new economy. There is a lot to chew on here. Is it OK if I post the link to the study in other fora where it may be relevant? shiv On Tue September 12 2006 10:09 pm, sastry wrote: > Hmm - a fantastic study.
