hey...not a bad idea at all, in reality. In fact, if you want any real progress of the backwards in this country. Just make the following changes in the reservation system in the country : 1. Do away with the reservations in the Govt. sector. People with merit are badly required in dept. like police, ISRO,DRDO, so we dont want the executive state machinery to be in the hands of good for nothing people.In any case, there are very few jobs in the govt. sector, so no point in the pro-reservation lobby fighting for it. And even if they get those jobs, they will end up being more useless than they were in the first place. They will end up being lazy, unproductive and corrupt, as is the case now in most Govt. sectors. 2. Introduce reservation for the backwards in the private sector - but with a rider - no job guarantee for a life time. After a year or two of trainting, they will have to face the same competetion like any other guy - perform or perish, but then you cant complain you were not given an opportunity to prove your self either thro merit or thro your sheer hard work. 3. The nos. of jobs in the private sector will be at least a thousand times more than in the Govt. sector. So more from the backward classes will get an opportunity. And the private work culture will surely mould them into better workers for sure. Competetive environ will do a world of good for them, than a corrupt lazy environ in the Govt. sector.
