Dear Mr shenoy your concluding statement about 50 percent seats to be reserved for woman has many implications.first it would mean that all boys who fall in open category would continue to struggle for a descent college even if they have good marks. reserving seats be it for caste or women makes no good because in reality the deserving candidates never get to enjoy them.Reserving seats only makes a particular category lax since they feel assured abt their future. i believe reservation should strictly be based on income.in this way we can in some way help the "deserving" candidates.Instead of teaching women to fight onpar with men,by reservation we are making them more weak and dependable..not on men but now on system!
