NARANG :I agree reservatn is a very complex issue and should not be leased out for the govenment at helm to decide the increase/decrease of it. There should be an independent body over looking this issue But can never writeoff reservatns quoting that it creates a rift in the society based on castes.India is a multi ethnic nation, has made a constitution whichtries to offerthe maximum parityto its citizens. That is why when our constitution was conceived, they found an urgency to help the down trodden or the oppressed classes in India. It was not a Looney decision at that point of time, for the people who conceived it coz they never had to woo any of the voters coz; they were unanimously the choice of India as a whole. Time flew by, and things have changed, we have propelled to 21stcentury, but things have not much changed in the case of this oppressed class, May be because they never were willing to change or were never ready to take risk. It is not because of anything, it is because of a collective conscious that forces a lower caste to abide his way rather than popping out of it.hence the govt offers reservation after indepth study: Nobody begs for it, its a privilege offered!
