You seem to be more worried for your own image than real upliftment of OBC/SC/ST.
I am Mechanical Engg. Graduate from REC Surat passed out with first class in year 1989. I am an Adivasi person. In fact in my batch in the first year exam (Common subjects are taught) I was topper in Civil Engg Technique and Electrical Technologies subject. In fact, our batch completed the Engg. Degree Course in 3½ years time due to late start of college sessions in Dec' 85/Early 1986; due to similar Anti-Reservation stir in Gujarat in 1985. I do not agree with your view that SC/ST reserved students cannot perform or they require further academic concessions. In fact, no students could dare me on academic matters. My friends, mostly General/Brahmins students encouraged me to aim for higher.
Dear Sir, in India Colour and Caste matters more than anything else. You may have doubts; not everybody. Have you read an article published on 6th May in 'times of india'; How a Tribal Student( a SC student aslo) did not get admission in AIIMS despite scoring 62%whereas a General student got"Gynic" course securing 44%.
