The so called backward castes in Tamil Nadu constitute 94% of the population. The reservation system was started to keep out Brahmins from the work force and not because of the love for backward castes. Despite being 3% of the population, brahmins were 72% of the workforce. There is no other way they could have achieved this parity except by thrusting reservations. No other country or state has achieved so much systematic annihilation of hardworking people. Backward classes were added at random over the years. It is indeed puzzling for a state which claims to be so forward in economic and other indicators calls 94% of the population backward. No other government in India can come to power by offering free colour tvs. Despite reserving 69% of the seats in college and government jobs, people still need freebies to come to power. After all haven't they acknowledged that they are incapable of good governance. Shame on them.
