This is not a good idea. This will set a precedent. All communities will start to do the same and then you will see community schools and colleges for Brahmins, schools for other castes schools for Muslims - further ghettoization of people and then we will have more problems.
But hey, if the non-Christian staff of St. Stephens were also brought down to 50%, I am not sure it would be all that good a place to study in anyway.

Am I missing something here? What exactly is the objection to a minority in India having their own college, and reserving half of its admissions for its own members?

You already have community schools for Gujaratis, Marwaris, JAins, Sindhis, etc. that reserve a quarter to half of all seats for that particular community.
I'm a bit undecided over whether this is good or bad, but all I'm saying is that there are other communities (linguistic, regional, religious) who already do this.
