On a funny side I think, there should be a census of forward castes and if the numbers are low (10-15%), we should get the "minority" tag. This will enable us to set up educational institutions of our own and allow us to select only forward caste students. Amazing. All castes can set up similar institutes as every caste will be a minority and India will be a great place with affirmative action for everyone:-)
The world will laugh at us and we will be bottoms up on all charts, but who two hoots for that ?
