The apex court has done the right thing by willing to strike down laws in the 9th schedule contradictory to the basic features of the constitution.
Somebody should take the political goons of Tamilnadu to task for putting in reservation quota of 69% (plus veterans quota of another 10% for a total of almost 80% quota). Imagine a country where 80 % of the people are getting into colleges based on an accident of birth and nothing more. That is Tamilnadu!!Agreed, the caste system of the past was precisely based on that. That past grievances cannot be used for wreaking havoc on modern day minority Hindu communities is the core message of the Indian constitution. That is what this ruling should eventually do.
These reservation laws are clearly discriminatory to certain minority hindu groups and they should be struck down. Additionally, we should challenge the new reservation laws in IITs, IIMs, BITS,Pilani etc.
The supreme court is the final arbiter that upholds the basic laws of the constitution which explicitly seeks to prevent discrimination on the basis of caste, religion, gender etc.
