RE:Dalits have not benifited.

Dear prashant,

i agree on your point that there are many examples of people who have been helped by the reservation system. one of them before us is you. before i put forward my opinion, let me first clarify that i m not against reservation per se. it is the way the reservation is being treated in India which causes me a great deal of pain. now that u r doing great means that ur childern dont need any special treatment for them to be given equal oppertunity. but the policy in India cant stop u from availing reservation. If the doctors r fighting against this, what wrong r they doing?

i will tell u a real life account of two students who did all their schooling together. 'A' was the topper of the class who used to get depressed if he got less than 90%. and 'B' was just average student. both their fathers worked in same govt. organisation and on similar posts. they appeared in screening for IIT together. 'A' was unable to get through. but 'B', inspite of having got lesser score than 'A' got through because he belonged to a "socially backward class". my question is that how can two people with same background be treated differently.
