what is the definition for backward cast? In what way a poor brahmin struggling to feed his family-- and there are plenty of such people-- forward? All social and educational institutions are open to every cast. Only SC/STs suffered due to the practice of untouchability and special consideration for them makes sense. Why should there be any special consideration for quotas for any other non-SC/ST cast? The proposed quota system is unjust and is gross violation of human rights of so called forward cast people. The government should be thinking interms phasing out existing quotas instead of creating new ones.
