Pityfully indeed, we are the only people deriving happiness in calling ourselves backward, seek favours and continue with the same conditions for decades. We feel so happy that the castes included in backward brand list keeps ever increasing, that is, backward people keep grow in numbers over the years instead of reducing.
On the other hand, the policy makers have not so far defined what is backwardness, and when one is considered backward or brought out of the backwardness. If generation after generation, the family continues to be backward, the number of communities in backwardness fold increases, there is a need to review our policy.
We should not be against providing reservation, but should try to provide such help and reservation by which backwardness will go down. Fix a target / benchmark when somebody is considered forward or not backward. For example, if there are 60% of people belonging to non-OBC / SC / ST in competition making above average mark even if they fail to succeed, then that can be the benchmark and once a OBC or SC / ST candidate reaches that standard, he should be discontinued the benefits of reservation considering capable of competing openly.
In any case, in premier educational institutions which non-creamy layer man can afford to pay the fee and receive the benefits? I do not see any benefit to anybody out of this situation, save, of course, the politicians. Let us make one India-one People without differences.
