The framers of the Indian Constitution did not visualise the present situation of power politics and the havoc it could play by dividing people on reasons of caste or creed.They only referred to the oneness of the nation and collectively called"we the people"That Indian society WAS divided on various counts of race,religion,caste and creed is an undeniable fact.But the same old situation does not exist even now.The oppressed and downtroddens' lives stand improved a lot-thanks to the continous reservations given so far.In fact,it is time for tappering the reservations slowly in tune with the improvement and betterment of the one time underprivilged who are almost brought on par with the other class.Objectively speaking,even the reserved categories feel happy for the changes brought in their lives.It is these politicians who want to keep the issues and problems alive forever to gain political advantage and ensure their continuance or recapture of the power.Otherwise,where is the need for prescription of columns like-religion or caste in the applications for admissions into govt insitutions or for govt jobs?It is the politicians who remind people of their religion or caste to create rifts among themselves,see the fun and enjoy.Nowhere in the world does any govt prescribe such pernicious columns.There are only two classes in the world-"haves" and "have nots" and nothing else.The panacea lies in taking care of the "havenots" irrespective of extraneous factors like caste.
