You can stand on top of Himalayas and scream at the height of your voice and provide all your good thoughts on improving conditions of the poor and under privileged no one in India is willing to listen, especially any political party. Every politician is hell bent on getting elected at any cost and dont care what a middle class common man goes through every day. On your point to reservation in politics, the same set of politicians did not have a back-bone to bring up Women's Quota bill more than once they are all "selfish", "arrogant" and "money-mongers". There will be plenty of argument on why we should have reservation in this country, however, no one will agree to poverty based instead of caste based, not sure, WHY?
