- IITs had almost 100% elite castes before reservation
- Only 10% of IIT coursework is humanities: "The crux of the argument is that the time of elite engineers should not be wasted on frivolous matters like sociology and history."
- "Clubs and societies are based on anglicised elite-caste interests"
- Professors and students say: "“I am casteless – I am simply Indian"
- 75% of all dropouts are caste quota students
- "The entire system seemed hand-crafted for a very selective group of people: English-speaking, comfortably middle-class, urban Indians with Western socio-cultural currency."
