Science and Indian cast system

This disavowal and denial of caste in their everyday life by claiming a liberal identity was common among the scientists of IISc.

They believed, as Sudarshan said, in order to do science, one needs to have ‘passion’, and ‘sacrificial mentality’. They believed that reservation may affect the quality of research, and reservation will produce scientists who are not passionate about science and research.
