Reservation should be good for fair distribution of wealth in a society/nation.If that is not achieved then it becomes curse.
I have seen they apply reservation & then lower the standard of education for students on reservation to get thru.This does nothing but lowering the overall standard.
Wealth in any form in a given society is fixed in size. If it is given away to one part it has to come from the other part of society.Those who receives it without due consideration usually abuse it.
Let the society be free for everyone to have an opportunity to progress.Give a helping hand to someone mistreated to survive.I don't know if someone progresses simply by giving an opportunity.
