I belong to OBC class. But I am proud to say that I have never ever used this to get any privilages in my life. Without any special considerations, I was able to get admission in Indian Institute of Science, and work with many academic and industrial R&Ds. You cannot come up by charity and concessions. Try to compete with the best which will bring out the best in you. You will be more proud of yourself when you do it in merrit rather than any reservation category. I also studied in a village school, Malayalam medium. With all that, if I could come up without any OBC brand support, any one can. I find many of these people, who are crying for reservations belong to upper middle class families, with well-educated parents.
