Assalamaulaiakum!!
Just some time back, a thought flash my mind after reading an e-mail of ISB boasting about their class diversity.....
Indian is often termed a sub-continent for the great likeness it has to that of a continent, with different people, natural resources, geographical divisions and what not.
Since my blog deals with educational and job opportunities, let's weigh this in terms of diversity in educational institutions:
India has a poor record in the diverse representation of people of different communities in institutions of national importance or the other respected institutions of this country.
I mean there is usually a very poor, under-proportionate representation of different communities in a class of a great institution.
For ex: LB Shastri Academy of Administration Mussourie has only about 3-4 % of representation for Muslims in its hallowed halls. And so it has been the case for a long while.
Coming to other institutions, the story remains the same or sometimes the stats may be read out to be poorer.
So if an institution like ISB talks about diversity only in terms of professional backgrounds of its students, where does the very essence of religious diversity goes into being?? For anywhere around the world, in people management, religious understanding and tolerance are the basic things for any successful manager/entrepreneur/for that matter, a successful human being.
For India is a country where there is a UID ( It sounds similar to the Aadhar thing , right?? Nice acronym in my net today)
