Reservation in PhD admissions and faculty appointments is a legal mandate meant to correct historical exclusion, but the "none found suitable" clause is often weaponized to maintain the status quo by declaring candidates from reserved categories unqualified. I see this in the data I compile, where brilliant Dalit and Adivasi scholars are consistently rejected from universities that then leave those posts vacant for years. My research shows this isn't about merit, but about preserving a closed culture. It reminds me of my own brilliant student, Sharan, whose 'obvious' answer in class is always dismissed until he patiently explains his logic—and then the whole room lights up with understanding.
