Swaminathan, If the beneficiaries of reservation are going to he slum dwellers, I am the happiest person. But in the name of 'OBC', a lose and chimerical conglomeration, many well-off among the OBCs would walk away with the cake. Most of the 'slum dwellers' have already been taken care of by the SC/ST quotas. Terming the entire caste BC is politicised travesty of truth. Now we face a realpolitik of 'Rob Peter, and pay Paul.'
