A message posted in rediff which was almost immediately rendered abuse (wonder why) called the whole opposition against creamy layer as a facade. Why so - because it the creamy layer within the OBCs who can most likely not only fill the quotas but also challenge the so-call forward castes.
In industry as well as in government, though qualified candidates apply, they are failed and the position is kept vacant for 3 years so that it is dereserved by the forward castes who often practice nepotism by favoring their own relatives or caste community.
Once the creamy layer is knocked out, then these vacancies will be filled by the general category. So the SC cunningly maintains the status quo while seeming to give a progressive verdict.
