Hi Praveen,
This thread is getting out of hand since the very first message. I tried to keep quiet, but it's getting on my nerves, sorry.
If you want to discuss the general merits of a scholarship system, of the goals and the criteria that belong to it - great! Then do that. You could ask the scholarship committee what criteria they used, and ask them kindly to explain to you how they applied them. You could give some thought to what a scholarship system should aim to accomplish, and then consider how those two match. Might it be that you subconsciously assume different goals for the program than others do?
By the way you frame this discussion, you get very much across as mosly being jealous and that your primary goal here is that you get a scholarship next year - and that you're more than happy to drag colleagues through the mud to accomplish that. Maybe this is the case, and maybe this is just an unfortunate interpretation.
Either way, the result is that you end up only discussing primarily personal circumstances.
I suggest we stop this discussion for now, let it cool down, and that you try again in a more structured and constructive approach in a month or so - keeping the talking points above (or others, as long as they are strategic) in mind. In the mean time I would kindly ask the moderators of this list to take action.
Kind regards,
Lodewijk
(Disclosure: I received a scholarship this year from the WMF)
