I apologize if I seemed like bragging. It is just that I feel a rush when I hear about this reservation crap.
When I was in my 12th grade, and we (me & 2 friends) were preparing for EAMCET (entrance exam for Engg./Medicine in the state of AP)....there were 3 of us. One of us belonged to a so-called OBC....the person's father was a rich businessman earning way more than my dad or the other friends dad. Nonetheless, the businessman who was rich by all means....produced a certificate saying his yearly salary was less than Rs 50,000 (in 1994) and that qualified his child for reservation!!!
The fact is that businessman at that time (1994) owned a Maruti Zen and Maruti 1000cc and was living in one of the posh colonies in Hyderabad. Please tell me where is the justice in this?

Yes. I wish people in India can do something about this. Take out a peaceful rally or some such thing.

Dear crazyforsense, these are all vote bank politics! What is the use asking the industry to make reservation when enough qualified persons are not available. We are not able to get enough electricians, welders,turners, etc.
There is unemployment in our country but equal scarcity of qualified technicians also. Unless the there are enough vocational training facilities, no amount of reservation is going to help. Not every one can become a white collar employee!
