  2. Ram,

    The second part was more interesting than the first one (haven't listened to the third part yet!). You handled the interview well, even though (it appeared) that you weren't agreeing with Karti.

    His idea of basing reservations on the kind of schools is a new idea to me and is interesting. However, I am afraid that it would enable people to enroll their kids in such schools just to make use of the reservations. Also, when the reservations are based on the schools, there is no reason to also base it on caste, in my opinion.

    The chat about affirmative action was interesting.. my objective was to get his position and challenge him a little bit.. I hope I achieved that..
