Well, agreed that govt.'s policies on reservation are entirely motivated by its desire to capture the vote bank...but social disintegration is so deep rooted in India that we can hardly blame our politicians of misusing it for their benefits...And a perfect example of the indian mentality is this article;which promotes casteism in almost the same manner as our govt.Why do we always have to think in terms of caste and not in terms indians as a whole.. Though i agree with this article when it says that govt. should not give benefits to a cerain section of our society on the basis of caste but on the basis of economic backwardness; but do you really think it is the right way of approaching the problem? Giving a wake up call to a certain section of the society will further segregate us... and we will end up in a situation no better than the present scenario..
