The concept of Merit has become an important subject of discussion in recent years. It is at the heart of how we envision excellence in education and also of much of the debate on the issue of Reservation. Lets understand the concept of Merit and why we need to redefine it. 
A students who tops a given exam is said to have merit and the others do not. The notion that the system rewards talent and hard work encourages the winners to consider their success their own doing or to the extent, a measure of their virtue & to look down upon others.

The opportunity to get such success or acquire such competency, however, is socially constructed. In this way our education system indirectly reproduce existing inequalities.
I got all India rank 34(overall) & got 2nd rank in SC category in ICAR JRF (Entomology) in 2016. But I couldn't get University of my choice because that year some University didn't even had a single seat for Scheduled Caste (SC in Entomology department.

So eventually I selected a decent University, but not of my liking. Students from general category got selected from state exam (state reservation) and joined me there.
I appeared an all India exam (central) and they appeared state exam to reach the same place.

Then two of those general category batchmates have the audacity to say they were more meritorious than me.
I challenged them to appear the central exam next year & compare the scores. But they denied saying "Ambedkarwadi logo ka yahi prblm hai" 😅

Horrible to see the degeneration of #Malaysia, a once upon rising star among #NICs and Emerging Market Economies, which served as a justified model and example of equitable development and growth, now, sadly, falling under the list of nations that are rotten to the core.

This turmoil started after DR Mahathir left power.
Since Dr Abdullah Badawi took over the reins of political power, Malaysia, as a country, has remained in a state of pendency.
All good work done in the 80s down the gutter due to bickering among UMNO and corrupt Najib n Rosmah Co

Another Sunday. Another thread. #caste #privilege #merit #prejudice
My primary school was a govt. aided vernacular medium school run by an ed. institute (one of the better ones in my home city). My first recall of #caste is from when I was in 2nd/3rd.

One of our teachers that year was NOT upper-caste (unlike most teachers in the school), and the predominantly upper-caste parents (including mine) weren't happy with the "quota" teacher. The general mood was "our education system is going to collapse due to quota"

The thing is, this was decided based on his "surname", and of course based on prejudice of all the upper-caste teacher's, who had an obvious grudge against "quota system" that the govt. grant mandated. I don't even remember if he was a good or bad teacher.

The proportion of #neuroscience papers with woman first or last authors grew from 1995 to 2018, but the undercitation of female authors actually *increased* in that time.

SFI's @DaniSBassett (@Penn) on #gender #inequity in the scientific community:
Undercitation of #neuroscience research with first or last woman authors appears to be driven predominantly by the reference lists of papers written by male-male teams.
This is not to say, however, that all men undercite women, or that women do not also undercite women:
