Though I am Christian, I am not overtly enthused by the demand for "exclusive reservation" for Muslims and Christians for a variety of reasons. However, your suggestion for "exclusive reservation" for Hindus, I think, is a step that needs careful consideration.
Of course, considering what politicians end up playing in this country, I am probably dreaming an utopian state.
What I would suggest is to have a cap on reservation at about 60 or 65%. The rest should be for general category. But the 60 or 65% reservation should be for all sections of the population including the majority community of every region. How this is to be divided can be the job of our esteemed politicians :-( or anybody else who knows how this is to be done.
But, most importantly, it should be ensured that those who come through non-reservation route are given twice the priority over reserved candidates for every subsequent scheme that is rolled out. This can be promotion, preferential loans.... anything. That will hopefully ensure that the mad rush for reservation that is currently going on will gradually peter off.
I will not accept abuse against this post. So obviously it will return to you. Meaningful criticism I am willing to hear. If, however, you are interested in a more detailed dialogue on this issue, revert to me on avkoshy at rediffmail.com
