S. Gurumurthy Exclusive: Drops Explosive Take On Reservation, Merit And Vote-Bank Politics

In an exclusive interview, S. Gurumurthy weighs in on one of India's most contentious debates, reservation versus merit. He argues that vote-bank politics has prevented successive governments from reforming the reservation system, while stressing that India's biggest challenge today is the lack of employable skills rather than quotas. Gurumurthy also advocates implementing the creamy layer principle more effectively, calling it the most practical path toward a fairer reservation framework.
