In fact,economic disadvantage/backwardness and merit alone should be the criteria for 'reservation'.It is a pity that the SC was not really 'judicious' in this matter of allowing reservation for OBCs,since it is a fact that it is the OBCs,especially the rich ones,who oppress and discriminate against the dalits/SCs/STs in the rural areas.As far as the cities are concerned,nobody is bothered about anybody's caste.So there is no question of any discrimination.It is the political mafia leaders who belong to the SC/ST/OBC who want the reservations to continue,so as to appropriate all the 'goodies' for themselves and their kith and kin. If they had any feeling for their less-fortunate brethren,they would not want the 'creamy layer' to be retained.
