though mayawati ahs own on caste calculations only, by bringing brahmins to her fold of dalits plus some muslim votes. muslims probably mostly voted for sp. but by saying that she will support reservation on economic basis (just on becoming cm), she has boldly dismantled the caste barrier.
let us hope for the best. if caste based reservation is removed, casteism will die its natural death. otherwise now a days no one bothers about caste, except marriage, which is quite a private affair.
