The increased quota for Christians in St Stephen's college, which is a premier institute of the country is being welcomed by Christians but the decision is attracting a lot of criticsm from other quarters.
I think that Christian colleges were built by Christian missionaries to benefit the Christian community primarily and others also so shouldn't these institutions be doing what many of them say is their motto?
Also they are well within their rights to do so. Many other Christian colleges already have 50% reservation since two decades but now that St Stephen's college has decided to follow this, there is pressure from all sides.
About the standards going down, I don't agree. The standard of Christian Educational Institutions are high precisely because they are run by missionaries who are committed to a cause. That is to provide good education to the Christian community and to others as well. They have minimum corruption and proper administration and academics so the standards are high. All these will remain true even if the quota for Christian students is increased.
It is an answer to the prayer of many Christian who have not been able to get admission in other places. After all Christians only get reservation in a Christian Institute. Shouldn't they be able to get some benefit in a Christian institution atleast?
