The issue addressed in the article "Separate and Unequal: Indian Schools, a Nation's Neglect" is the lack of quality education in schools for marginalized communities in India. The author argues that these schools are separate and unequal, with inadequate resources and inadequate educational opportunities compared to schools for more privileged communities.

Some people may think differently and argue that the lack of quality education in these schools is not necessarily a result of neglect by the nation, but rather a result of other factors such as poverty and lack of resources in these communities.

Reasons that might support the other side of the author's stance include:

Funding for education in India is largely dependent on state government, and some states have limited funds for education, which could lead to inadequate resources in certain schools.

Socio-economic conditions of certain communities can lead to lack of resources and opportunities for education, and this could be a bigger factor in the lack of quality education than neglect by the nation.

There are many other factors impacting the quality of education in India, like the teacher shortages, teacher absenteeism, teacher's qualification, and classroom sizes.

It's worth noting that the article might be talking about specific cases or regions in India, and generalizing the situation of the whole country is not accurate.
