No employer goes out to recruit employees from far off places as long as locals are available and have competetive productivity. Better training and improving productivity would help the cause of local emplyment more than reservations. Reservation for "Bhumiputra" is basically a devissive demand. It makes a direct claim of India not being a single country. What happens to the rights of investors whose money is invested in these industries? If this demand should only be conceded with the right of industry to move in/out as and when they consider it fit. Then people who claim right to employment on grounds of "Bhumiputra" will get badly exposed if the industry moves out due to poorly productive labour. There is not enough local investment to sustain employment in Maharashtra on the basis of locally owned industry.
