You dumb ass, you have been fortunate enough to be born to a well to do family which could provide you with good basic eduaction. The merit bull shit that you are trying to give would not have had any meaning if you were born in the remote village with no access to clean water and you are deprived of basic amenities and treated less than a human. Reservation only is trying to create a level playing field for the people who have been deprived of their share for 5000 years.
Just learn how US undid its past mistakes through affirmative action for the blacks and ethnic minorites.
People born in the so-called lower castes are not dumb. There are enough people who made it big and living in US and UK. Just providing an opportunity can make all the difference. Besides, its high time the upper castes accept their mistake shed of their arrogance and treat others fairly.
