anil - Reservation is not a permanent solution for any cast..there has to be an end of reservation to bring everybody at par as far as education is concerned. by keeing and fighting for the reservation we are not only degrading the candidates but also providing the opportunity for a brain drain leading to India's backward journey. In what way the reservation in educational institutions (particular higher educations) are justified? I can understand if reservation is provided in elementary and secondary school to bring them up in society and to ensure a minimum education is provided to every citizen on India - but I am against reservations in higher/senior government posts and higher educational institutions.
