I'd love to know the detailed methodology employed by this committee, questions they sought to answer, problems they plan to solve and ultimately, what is it that they want to achieve.

The most painful part is that the current dispensation may actually give this report a serious look and consideration.

Any rational, thinking man has got only two choices - stand and speak up for the fundamental principles of respect for merit in elite educational institutions and against the cheapest level of mindless activities to play for vote banks or leave dear old mother India, simply because a bunch of people who do not have the sight, sense and maturity to take decisions is weilding authority and it may not be worthwhile to try to drill sense in them.

Selfish, I know; cowardly, may be; but sensible, for sure.
