Mr. Haris... whatever u sed is very true but if u realise all of the factors u mentioned are related more to the economic background and not to the easier and more politically favorable caste based system... Clearly, the son/daughter of an IAS officer or a regional manager in a PSU or director in a state government entity are ideally not called 'backward' - even if they may want to call themselves so for the sake of the free lunch Thx
