A post in Anger & Disgust

Any non caste based, but need based act in the direction of making education more accessible to all strata of the society is most welcome. There was an incident in Bangalore where school forced the children who got admissions under RTE to cut their hair really short so that they could be differentiated from other children studying along with them.

It is simply heinous. If we continue in the same vein of thought why can't we make the doctors, engineers and many others who have got admissions to professional courses by paying money rather than being selected through competitive exams, print/display clearly on their letter heads/advertisements/in places where they practice that they were not meritorious but got seats because somebody somehow paid lakhs and crores of rupees for their coveted degrees? I am not saying that people with money are not meritorious, but questioning the rationale that only money is the qualifier to determine whether a person gets the education or not.
