well, after having gone thru all the posts i cud find a couple of ppl in favour of reservation(i like to call it Share) for OBCs while the rest were just against it, not surprisngly, those who oppose it are upper castes. well if upper castes think they are the most intelligent ppl in the world, then i just want to tell them give OBCs a chance , the result will automatically show who is intelligent and meritorious, what the hell is this bloody "Merit" in india after all? no indian scientist(mostly upper castes) have done anything worthwhile , they just cut copy and paste from the works of foreign scientists, what has IIT and IIM given to india, these are just status symbols,which satisfy the ego of upper caste ppl,thats all , one last thing , if USSR which had some 20 races cud not stay united , forget about india being united and becoming a super power(which is a bloody myth, india can never become a super power as long as Caste system is alive) , india has to be divided along the lines of caste, its only a matter of time before every caste starts demanding their share.

dear friend,
we also want that gap to be bridged that is income level, poorer from any caste/religion, should be uplifted, and not alone one family of obcs who will keep benefitting and exploiting this policies.
once a person avails reservation, his generation should be lifted to main stream. Else he will not leave chance to poor sections of his own community to develop.

Reservation should be less than 5% and for only physically /other hadicapped people. In India, even the son of a Rolls Roy driving father who is OBC gets free seat on OBC scheme while roaming around, spending father's money after getting 35% while a student walking on a worn chappal, studies for 20 hrs a day does not get a seat after getting 90% even though 90% is the really maximum achievable score.
Have you ever seen a guy who is given million dollar free saying no even though he already has million dollars. He would not say no so is the guy who has no money with him. Just as both the guys would say thank you to the one who gave them million dollars, OBcs are voting for politicos playing games with them.
It is time to wake up and stand united with your fellow students and not succumb to such cheap tactics.

Abishek, i guess ur wrong to claim that all those who spk against reservation are because they are upper caste. If the question is that OBC;s and SCT's are poor, then lets have reservation based on economically backward as this wud cover all without being branded as backward by caste. Again, if the argument is that because this ppl are poor, they can't afford to study, then give them free education, but based on merit. Just because ur from a backward class u shud not have the leberity to be less intelgient and still be a doctor. This is like an attempt to correct social injustice, by doing more injustice. If ur are inteligient enough but economically backward then the govt shud provide free education, free food and free everything, but no compromise on merit. If the politicans were seriously concerned about the poor, then they would focused on these things rather than to find short cut to appease the ppl and cover up their failures. Freebies will only make u dependent not independent. The last thing would be, to tell my son/daugther, 'u have excelled in ur exams but ur neighour gets the seat because he/she is from a backward caste although rich.'
