The judgement needs to be seen in a broader context. This highlights that the laws created just to remain in power must not voilate the basic right of the citizens and if it is then it must be struck down. The state based, caste based, religion based reservation also comes in this category. All Indian citizens are equal if the opportuniy comes for in any field of study or job. The criteria for some preference should be for economically weaker section of the society only. Even for this the more preference should be given to strengthen the support to the weaker or under-priveledged section of the society by more and more grants to study, free books, free education, free food, free hostels, etc. No amount of reservation is going to help either the individual or the country, rather it will lower the standard of education by providing the shortcut.
