I don't understand what this govt is upto. On one side it talks about economic growth, upliftment of poor etc. on the other hand it talks about reservations for 'special' castes, and on the 3rd side, again talks about making an equal, caste-free India. If the govt. is so much concerned about the backward, 'poor' castes, then what about the general, 'poor' people. I think the life of a general catergory guy, born poor, is a curse. He has no right to live; and if he wishes to struggle, and survive; these corrupt politicians won't let him live. Reservations in IITs/IIMs + Relaxed norms + Preparatory courses + Relaxed fees (the only sensible measure, in all this hoopla) + WHAT NEXT??? GUESS their next step.... giving them IIT/IIM degrees 'in advance' (just in case they need some more time to qualify) :-). Advantage of such reservations are alwyas taken by much affluent guys, who in actual, don't deserve any kind of reservation.
