Abstract
Affirmative action is in itself a sound
idea. Its manner of implementation in
India has been driven by failures of the
first forty years of economic and social
policies. It cannot now be undone but it
is not defensible except as a flawed
second best policy. Urgent research is
needed to find pathways out of this
problem if India is to eventually become
a nation of citizens who are socially
equal.
