Can anyone tell me who is enjoying reservation ? Lets go statistically. From all the population of India 13% are SCs, 7% STs, 5-7 % Bramhins, 3-4 % VJ/NT....and all total nearly 32% of population. Remaining are Muslims 18% and OBCs 48-50%. Now look at the reservation: SC quota enjoys 13% reservation ---> against 13% population ST quota enjoys 7% reservation ----> against 7 % population VJNT/etc enjoys 3 and half % reservation ---%uF0E0 against 3-4 % population OBC enjoys 26 % reservation ------%uF0E0 against 48-50 % population. Total reservation :50 % -----%uF0E0 against 74 % population
For remaining 26 % population (including 18% Muslims) is enjoying 50% seats%u2026 So clearly tell me who is enjoying reservation in this country ???

So are you suggesting that like Tamil Nadu there should be blind reservation as per statistics and that there should be no room for merit and hardworkin g categories? Then why ahev schools and colleges and stress on quality education? Might as well close the schools and colleges and distribute degrees to everyone? You really think that in medicine and mechanical science, reservations throw out highly skileld doctors and engineers?
Also have you considered the plight of so many open category studenst who not only have no hope of availing vacant reserved seats but also have to compete with SC and OBC students in the open category as well. In that case make a rule that no OBC/SC/ST student can be admited in the general category on merit. Lets see if reservations and merit diluted degrees will make you a CEO in Infosys or the world's best neuro surgeon mate.
Going by your post, it seems you would be most happy if 100% reservation was implemented. Then who would give jobs to so many people with suspect educational skills and capabilities. People don't give out jobs for free without merit like Government gives out degrees under reservation. And what do Reserved people end up doing in the end?
Would you want your own child tomorrow to be a merit holder who can conquer the world or a disadvantaged dependent on Government for everything in life confined to work as a clerk in some sarkari daftar indulging in wholesome corruption?

Very informative. Can you suggest a place where we can find these statistics? I would also like to point out that I think in most cases all the unfilled seats in reservation category are open to others. It is a pity that the reserved category seats are not even filling up.

Praveen, 26% reservations for OBC does not mean only 26% of the students are OBC. It means that AT LEAST 26% are OBC.
In TN, there is 69% reservation. It does not mean Brahmins have a 31% quota! As a matter of fact, students who are classified as "BC" are in no way unequal to brahmins in performance. Many many of them get in through the open quota, and ultimately the proportion of Brahmin students who get in is less than their proportion in the general population. Does this mean there should be quote for brahmins now?
