If its about bringing brilliant people to top then their brilliance should be measured on the time of their birth, otherwise they will be brought up in diverse environments having totally different and unequal amount of facilities. A person who studied from Lahore or Islamabad should never be taken on par with a person who earned his education from FATA or from some farthest village of Balochistan or AJK. If equal facilities are provided to every citizen of Pakistan then i think women quota should also be abolished, but unfortunately it's not one of the cases in Pakistan, as a society we are still divided on the bases of territorial and ethno-linguistic borders. Despite claiming women empowerment slogans we are yet to provision a culture which will not ask for women quota to give them equal opportunities when compared with men.
So quota system will remain until and unless we have a uniform cultural, political, social, economic and administrative unit.
