The TN quota system has served the purpose for which it was intended - of ensuring the continued vote banks for the 'dravida' parties (DMK and AIADMK) against national parties like the Congress and BJP, and serving as an anti-brahmin forum. Definitely, it has not served any genuine intent of the constitution. Instead, it has resulted in the exodus of upper castes, specifically brahmins (as almost all others are covered by the 'quota') to other states and for educational institutions in other states and other countries. The medical and law schools of TN are filled with hooligans and rowdy elements, many - relatives and friends of the 'dravida' politicians, who join these institues in the name of some quota or the other. Madras University, which was once upon a time, known for its calibre of education, is way down in the ranks now, thanks to the state's politicians.
