RE:lets work for our hindu brothers
by Kaushik Das on Apr 11, 2007 08:00 PM

But how many hindus believe in that brahmins' monopoly? Not even the brahmins themselves. And the original caste system was NOT hereditary. Somewhere down the line, it became one (for whatever reasons) and that was then misused. But i don't see how reservations are going to get equality in. OBCs are already the most powerful. What if we say that brahmins should have reserved seats in parliament and UP assembly? Will the mulayams and mayawatis accept it? No, because they have worked (however!) for those seats. They won't give it away.
.
Also, giving someone alms (reservation) can only feed for a day. Education only can feed for a lifetime.
