Who says this girl doesn’t have social or cultural capital?! In fact, Jaspreet is an asset to Miranda House. I bet it, more than half of the students of Miranda House wouldn’t be knowing d name of a single river flowing through Punjab!
I say this shouldn’t be about caste if any child like j Kaur is bright we should support them our government has duty to help them and please don’t bring caste in every thing we have people from so called upper class who are in same position but no one writes about them so my fellow Indians their shouldn’t be any class upper or lower we have people from so called lower class who are filthy rich same with upper class who are rich so we have rich and poor in every class it shouldn’t make any difference what class ur from if we can we should help every one we can our politicians play this class card all the time so please think every one should be equally treated no matter what class it’s up to us as Indians to make difference not politicians
I would recomend her to do her higher study in any college near to her village where she remain connected to the environment in which living she scored such high merit. I think that her home is ideal study place for her.She can get access to internet at her home through help from various help groups which have been discussed in the news article.
The author is talking total rubbish. Why the need of pin pointing at ‘upper’ is needed. Dalits and SC’s are getting everything, be it government jobs or college seats and yet they are crying. It’s mere a case of financial problem and nothing else. These type of so-called journalist try to polarise and create hateful among people for just few incentives. Shame on you if you call yourself journalist.
writer puts first champion of her ‘Kaur dynasty’, we salute the no means achievement of our dearest Jaspreet Kaur, for it we are making people to pour help, but writer must remember Kaurs are making waves across the globe with diverse and high ranking achievements rising from very humble backgrounds

Pl don’t try to suppress people from small places and lower income groups, ppl know, writers, like of this story, may be knowing the art of playing with words but surely by twisting the facts, putting factually incorrect views, they need to put true picture and not to get publicity for wrong things. Totally disagree with personal forcefully put in the story
Worst kind of journalism, putting facts in the story without verifying the facts, only on hearsay, do the writer think whatever is being told is absolutely right, story is factually wrong, as she is not the topper as writer claimed in this story and writer tried to label the reporter who breaking the story highlighted the successes and plight of intelligent from downtrodden family, as anti dalit, without verifying the facts.. Pl be responsible enough to check the facts and pl not every time play with words unnecessarily
Why do you have to equate urban culture to only the ‘upper’ class?
By writing this as ‘upper,’ you severely undermine the children coming from general families as well as those from non-metro upper class. You need to understand this is more of a rural-urban divide sick heads.
If you try to divide the society solely on these basis, then my dear, your journalism is bound to suffer.
Why is it necessary to mention ‘Dalit and ‘bahujan samaaj ‘ when the main focus of the article should have been how her economic deprivations which are the main reason for her being left out and scrutinised. Indian culture has outgrown these social stigmas long before. It is only their perpetuation through such biased and edited articles meant to ‘target’ a particular group/sect. Even a Pandit or Thakur, who is a labourer or daily wage earner may have a similar story. Caste is no longer a determinant of a person’s economic status, leave behind the social one.
Haaa ha…….. He says Indian culture has outgrown these social stigma long before! He seems to be a resident of Europe and not India. The castiest stooges keep propounding this unbelievable lie that castism in India is extinct. It’s practiced day in and day out.
I wonder why even in 2020, young minds our sterotyped when it comes to their future.

people who are not born with Helen Keller handicaps choose to behave as if they have them, but one can learn braille and read some statistics about the condition of Dalits,of course one cannot be happier that way, if Dalits can top exams today, who is responsible for keeping them at the bottom for so long?
I don’t understand why it has been pre-supposed that she will be at the receiving and of ragging? Movies don’t give an accurate view of the world which made Jaspreet think that she will be ragged.. She’s a girl who has gotten such amazing marks and deserves the respect she deserves, which she will get. Luck can help you pass but not top, her hardwork won’t go unrecognised. I wish her all the luck for her future :))
I agree with the author wholeheartedly and wish jaspreet Kaur all the luck in the world to realise her aspirations. As far as social support is concerned, the kid will have one more obstacle to surmount, which as the author has already pointed out is far more difficult than to accomplish than academic ones. But, once in a rare while, talent overcomes insurmountable obstacles, hope rare times become commonplace.
I really like your articles and news reporting and thank you The print for allowing this Brilliant journalism in your news portal. The issues which are important to us and our society are being raised here especially social justice related issues.. I really like to contribute Monetarily but I am economicaly stable right now but definitely I’ll contribute whenever I be little bit stable
Inspiring story. But we don’t know this kind of incident will occur in future once the common entrance test, according to NEP,, is introduced even for arts and science course. This will make higher education inaccessible to so many aspiring Kaurs.
Yeah. Then only urban folks from coaching centres will join DU.
Miranda has very open and egalitarian culture. She must join it with open mind and without fear. She will gain great success. They are thousands of students in DU who like her come without cultural capital. But it takes a month to gain much. This is what Du is known for. Nothing to fear.
If someone gives me her cell phone number, atleast till she passes out of college,I can keep her mobile data running. I will feel highly blessed and honored to lend her this little help .
people who oppose affirmative action/reservation in education and job on basis of merit…should come face with reality…that merit is not privilege class birth right…i would say a student coming from well off family securing 95+% is not more meritorious than student scoring 60% from poor/underprivileged class.
Who says this girl doesn’t have social or cultural capital?! In fact, Jaspreet is an asset to Miranda House. I bet it, more than half of the students of Miranda House wouldn’t be knowing d name of a single river flowing through Punjab!
This article is nothing but a political rant and disrespect to the millions of Rular dreams irrespective of their Caste .
I say this shouldn’t be about caste if any child like j Kaur is bright we should support them our government has duty to help them and please don’t bring caste in every thing we have people from so called upper class who are in same position but no one writes about them so my fellow Indians their shouldn’t be any class upper or lower we have people from so called lower class who are filthy rich same with upper class who are rich so we have rich and poor in every class it shouldn’t make any difference what class ur from if we can we should help every one we can our politicians play this class card all the time so please think every one should be equally treated no matter what class it’s up to us as Indians to make difference not politicians

I would like to contact Jaspreet Kaur and help her in pursuing higher studies in DU. Kindly provide her contact no. asap.
