hey... i wonder where you got all those stories.do you have anything to substantiate your claims. Reservation has been on for the last 59 years and if you still think that people need reservation, then reservation isn't a solution! Its a change in mindset. and don't paint a picture of pre-independence. Things have improved a lot and will gradually become even better. Think of it: 47.5 % resvn. means 52% resvn in the open category and 100% for 'under privileged'. So what is effectively happening is you are taking away the right of a person in general category to secure sound education! So even if he suffers from social prejudices including location, economic backwardness etc. he has to contain himself with whatever he has. Isn't that stupid? nobody is against reservation, but against the basis of reservation.
