Is Reservation Really Against Merit? The Debate India Can’t Escape I Vijender Chauhan

Is reservation really against merit? Or have we misunderstood what “merit” actually means?
In this video, we question the idea that marks and rankings alone can define merit.

From unequal access to education, coaching and social networks to cultural and social capital, the video explores how privilege and circumstances shape outcomes.

We also examine caste, reservation, constitutional equality, affirmative action, formal vs substantive equality, meritocracy, and social justice and ask whether equal competition is truly possible when people begin from unequal starting points.

The real question is not simply “Who scored more?” but “What conditions made that score possible?”

Watch till the end and decide: Does reservation undermine merit, or does it challenge how we define merit itself?
