I think there is some mixing of things. Poor = less educational opportunity? What way? If i am intelligent enough, i can get scholarship!! May be not in india, but in some other country!! Many people help the professors and complete the education by that money. I really don't think there should be a reservation on any basis. It is not somebody else's fault that somebody was poor! besides, it is very difficult to decide in india who is poor and who is not. All people who do not submit tax can claim to be poor. Even if they earn in millions. And a person who earns meager salary but pays income tax (however small) like a government employee can not get a seat!
Secondly about mayawati, it's hogwash. She is using all communities and there is no change in her stance. It would be unwise to trust her. There is no change in her activities (same ambedkar statues, changiing names to shahu and others.. and no progress.). She is in fact more dangerous now.
