Enforced hiring?

The government is thinking of setting quotas for businesses to hire a certain number of people from the poorly-educated bottom end of the Hindu caste system. In fact, Mr Singh’s speech included the enforcement of retaining 27% of places at universities and businesses for the “backward” castes.

Premji of Wipro argued that this would reduce profitability and international confidence.
