Reservation vs Merit: Does Reservation Really Hurt Merit? #shorts

In response to a user's question about reservations and merit, this video addresses a common misconception about public examinations and intellectual capabilities. The argument often assumes an inherent disparity between communities, but the truth is far deeper and tied to cultural capital, opportunity, and systemic inequalities.

📌 Key Points Discussed:
• Why the argument against reservation is flawed.
• The role of cultural capital and access in shaping performance.
• How reservations aim to level the playing field and address systemic barriers.

This video isn’t just about defending reservations—it’s about understanding the broader context of equality, opportunity, and justice in public examinations.
