As u said, British favored a few for some so called sensitive jobs and the present state of the country could be attributed to that.How can u blatantly say that upper castes are incorruptible and lower ones are corrupt? U represent the typical feudal mindset of medieval age. Greatness was never thrust on anyone. Anyone can become great by virtue of hardwork and reservation was just a step to correct the historical injustice done to some castes. If u say TN is "so corrupt" what do you say about other states where higher positions are grabbed by the so called higher echelons of societiy, but the states remain misgoverned. If governance is taken as the criteria, then TN is one of the best governed states in the country.As u said only time will tell the progress...
