Whenever the question of reservations come up the privileged class and caste in this country comes up with this bogey of "MERIT".
Instead of addressing the root cause they harp on the quality of the medicine. It's convenient to challenge reservations and not the caste system.
When can we see a heading like "Time to make India a no caste country". Does anyone have the guts to do that? Look in your own lives and homes how caste plays a decisive role in society. It's true that this role is being challenged due to economic status and western education to some extent but for a large majority of those who are born in Hindu society caste operates like a shadow boxer. Reservation is only one of the methods to correct this anomaly albeit imperfect. But it's a social and political remedy not a generic one.
Let those who speak agains reservations come out with a better solution to address the aspirations of the backward castes.
