I agree

Reservation in TN has indeed done a good job, both socailly and economically progressing the oppressed classes. Having studied engineering in a rural institute i can definetly vouch for that. But the issue is are we going to follow what was decide 50 years back. Can we afford to go ahead in this 21 st century with an 19 th century mindset. I remember a brahmin friend of my father, telling me that if you visit TAMBRAS datebase 8 out of 10 guys are out of the country. Just because we denied them opporutnities they found their only way out. This we were opprsed hence we will suppress now philosophy is highly uncivilised. Cant we tell british that "yes now we have to rule you". Its not tit for tat. Its the question of finding solutions in a world that has undergone in a sea change from the time this reservation was first introduced.

And for all those who are ao anti reservation , have you ever spend some time in any village of India. If not please do that before commenting on this issue.
TN has progressed socailly and economically inspite of all this. THink TN is the only state where people dont use their caste name as your surname.
So lets take an anachronistic decision
