RE:T.N Chief is correct

"Idiot", OBC means Other Backward Class and not Other Backward CASTE! OBC reservations are based on the fundamentals of ECONOMIC condition of a Person and not as a bulk Reservation for any Caste. It was only SC & ST reservation that was based on Caste, coz those populations were traditionally shunned in India.

Adding Groups like Lingaayats, Gowda's in Karnataka, and Jats in Rajasthan shows what a farce this reservation for OBCs has become. These communities that I stated above are more rich than even the upper castes in those states. Add to that the fact the Rich amongst the so called castes identified as OBCs are not even eliminated from this "freebie", it clearly shows what kind of vote bank politics this reservation is all about!
