I am an OBC too. I am from a very very poor family. I am in the US and I tell u,....the so called quota is to some extent a politicians tool to get votes. I have experienced this in my own education. I dint get any benefit out of reservations. However I dont deny that it does help people to some extent. But there should be some justifications to the intellectuals who really deserve......But I agree to ur point that we are not in the charity to receive something by not pocessing the competency. Hey Guys ...... you should realize that intellectuality has nothing to do with caste. So we should really try to compete intellectually. Demand equal attention in schools. Somebody said we are not treated well in the schools. We should infact do a strike for that not to seek reservations. "We need to be treated equally".
