The Mayor of the London borough of Newham recently made a comment that the Britons are too lazy to work. His comments came as most of the 50,000 jobs created as a result of the 2012 Olympic Games to be held there were being given to foreigners. Not just the ones already in London, but hired in Europe and being brought over.
What relevance does this have to India? Well, his reasoning on why such a situation has occurred is that most people are mediocre in school and then tend to live on the unemployment benefits that the government gives. They are not employable and don’t have the motivation to work or the skills to work. This is a very interesting observation since it states that such schemes along with providing “dignity of living for its citizens” also promotes mediocrity.
Makes one think if reservations in schools and jobs in India which are supposed to “uplift the downtrodden and the marginalized” is really good for India in the long run
