Thanks R K for posting this,I came from same background and my brother and I faced the same situation,In XIIth ,we both succussed with high percentage but I was not able to get Government colleges or REC because of stiff compition in Open category,and My brother has to go for other Medical instead of MBBS and ours SC ,ST and OBC frnd from our respective classes got admission not only on less percentage but in high perofile colleges instead of having less marks. I asked question after graduation and PG,Should I continue my life in India in hands of corroupt politics and this so called cast system.I do not think I would allow this system to suffer my new generation and would respect this.
