A new caste system

Nita, one of them Mutineers, frowns upon the new point system for admission to Delhi schools.

But I know that if we were in Delhi today, living in the same circumstances as that time, my daughter would not have got into Springdales. We lived 10 kms from the school. We were also young parents, just starting out, and had managed to get ourselves a decent flat only because we had chosen a distant suburb. We had no other children, were from distant Pune and so no connections or khandan in South Delhi. We knew only one thing – our kid was bright and smart and as proud parents we wanted her to get into the best school possible. In any case there was no school worth its name in our area.

She votes for a rollback to the old system. Mull-worthy.
