I totally agree with anil. I guess its high time we people need to realise that these quotas and reservation are eating away our society rather than building it. Merit and talent should be the only criteria. If you really want to help the needy, then help the poors( be it from any caste they come) so that they should not be deprived of anything. I have personally seen so many people from the so called backward classes who are earning so well, and still enjoying the benefits of these reservations. The major problem in our society is the fact that politicians are able to win elections and increase their vote bank because of these reservations and quotas. It won't be far when the time will come when "out of 100 seats( be it for any anything) only one will be open for the general category and the rest will be divided in the reservation categories" and india being such a huge country, there is no end to the ways in which we can keep on increasing the reservations..backward classes, SC's, ST's, Christians, Muslims, jains, Parsis, and etc etc etc,,the list is never ending!!!!
