Sir, Caste based reservations are not made on the basis of any scientific criterion. It is a legacy of Britishers' Divide and Rule. In Tamil Nadu it is a stock in trade for some regional parties. They have no any genuine concern for poor. In order to hide their monumental corruptions they are using reservation issue for diverting the attention of public. The folly of reservations can be easily understood if one knows the fact that by changing a sub-sect one can be come backward! What one needs is only a certificate from Village Admn Officer. Many affluent families have become backward by these wicket gates.Even rulers know about this. In Tamilnadu it was born out of jealousy and hatred towards Brahmin community. Brahmin baiting still continues as some unscrupulous politicians tasted money and power out of that. It is hightime that all caste based reservations are scrapped immediately and fair competition in education and employment is ensured. S. Sampathkumar
