yogesh,are we a developed country?there are 500 million people in the obc category.that is not an exaggeration.our population is 1100 million.even if we take it to be 400 million,there is a whole lot of progress to be made.the creamy layer will surely be excluded(maybe in 2013).reservations will probably continue till 2023.in that period,if according to ur fear,the brahmin or any other community becomes eligible for reservations according to the criteria of the mandal commission,they will be included in the reserved list.i cant see that happening. (for example,one criteria is the number of matriculates in that caste should be 20% lesser than the state average.) people who are uplifted will go about their lives without looking for reservations.there are 500 private engg colleges in india.intermarriages will become common and caste will be forgotten.already,most of the students studying abroad have mixed marriages,some marry foreigners.see tomorrows matrimonial column in the newspaper,u will find atleast some with caste no bar,that will increase with time.
