Mr. Sheshadri, It is not correct to stamp all the backward communities unintelligent. Such a line of tinking is definitely racist. If so the present Chief justice of India Shri Balakrishnan and former president of India Shri Narayan, who availed of the benefit of reservation to reach the highest offices at some stage in their careers, would be unintelligent and inefficient. I have seen many students from backward communities coming to study at IIT from the OBC, SC ST list. They are not able to compete with other students who underwent years of coaching at some of the premier coaching institutes. They are given an extra year coaching known as preparatory course. After this some of these students do compete on equal footing with others. In fact I have seen some very brilliant students coming from backward communities. They lag behind others only bacause they did not recieve quality education. I support the idea that once a person avails of the benefit of reservation, their children should not be allowed reservation.
