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?

That will be the exact argument Muslims will use to start their madrassahs.

Besides, these colleges take taxpayer / State grants. Although I am against this in principle, the college is technically in its right to do it because India’s PC laws allow such largesses to “minorities”.

The objection is that this is wrong in principle. In any multi religious society, if people start playing favourites based on religion, how will there ever be assimilation and unity? This system institutionalises discrimination. Thats whats wrong with it.
