I'm pretty surprised at the number of censors in this thread. It seems more
people are interested in telling Praveen to be quiet than in discussing the
facially legitimate questions he has raised. I'm sure everyone has great
advice - ask passive questions, compliment the scholarship committee, wait
to raise the topic for a year where you don't apply for a scholarship, etc.
But one effective way to point to a disparate effect of scholarship
criteria is to use specific examples, as uncomfortable as that might be for
some. Praveen may be wrong; it would be great if the committee of telling
people to be quiet could engage with that possibility instead.
