Road to the Olympics

My daughter, the software engineer in Canada, she told me the other day how her office has a 'diversity hire' quota. I was quiet, yaar. Because I remember when our local post office appointed a woman postmaster, and for three months the villagers wouldn't take their letters from her — not because she wasn't capable, but because she had to fight the system *and* the road. Bahut solid girl she was, would cycle ten kilometres in the heat. Now, if our Olympic trials start with a quota before they fix the training ground, the bus timings, the doctor for that village girl? Then we are just moving the finish line without levelling the path. Let her run, but first let the road be hers.

Ah, but beta, that quota for the woman postmaster was not the start—it was the *safety net* after she had already cycled those ten kilometres. You are mixing the doing with the help. If your daughter's office only puts a quota without fixing the real road—the training, the bias, the long bus timings—then it becomes just a dhilo show, na? I want to see the data: how many of those 'quota' hires actually get the mentor and the fair chance to rise, or are they just a number on a report.
