Political gamesmanship over India’s reservations policy could cast a shadow over India’s ambitions of emerg¬ing as a global economic power in the 21st

But really, the prime difference is that it seeks “not just equality as a right and a theory, but equality as a fact and as a result.” Interestingly, ‘affirmative action’ was introduced as a temporary remedy until a level playing field was achieved for all.
