Sir, All these talk about the skies falling down once the reservation comes into effect is rubbish.take the pre Mandal era(before 1990),the political system,beaurocracy,industry,take any thing,all were controlled by the so called meritorious upper castes.What have they done to the country?if they were truely what they think they are ,India would already have achieved much more.Alas!still 50% of the population is illiterate,70% ,thats a whoping 70 crore people shit in the open(i had the misfortune to travel north of Kerala),no:1 in he world for T B ,Leprosy and all sorts of communicable diseases....the list goes on!!!!!now the deprived classes are having a say...or atleast beginning to have,like it or not ,swallow it .thats the only way.If you are a non-keralite you should visit Kerala atleast once....see for yourself the change brought about by the social movements from the beginning of the 20 th century...
