Looks like the gallery of doctors, who failed the patients due to their ignorance, as they were admitted to the medical course through reservation of seats, based on their backward caste qualifications , NOT on merit!
Well said! Merit lost its “merit” soon after India became independent and the Reservation System was introduced. This has continued even after 75 years of independence. It is unlikely that the country will ever get out of this morass with the crooked politicians stoking it with their caste-based politics to their personal advantage.
