First of all your analogy of comparing reservation in educational institutions/govt companies against our cricket team is just plain stupid.
SC/STs continue to remain poor despite Govt's relief measures and they cannot be expected to compete on fair terms with the more privelaged upper castes. How many SC/STs can really afford the expensive private coaching to get into IITs/IIMs?. A fair game is one where there is equal chance for everyone to compete.Majority of SCs/STs cannot even afford a regular meal on a daily basis. For SC/STs a dream of joining the cricket team would be too far fetched.The upper castes have been ruling the country since god knows when. Why hasn't the country developed. Thnik about how the southern states which implemented reservations have made significant progress . And those states which refused to implement lagged behind. That is a perfect example.

The way I see it, the coaching institutes are a farce. Of all the IIM / IIT people that I know, no one made it thorugh because of coaching. If you are so keen on throwing your folks hard(ly) earned money - be my guest. The current quota controversy is another license for political profligacy - Dr.Singh our esteemed prime minister is himself cambridge educated and a bureaucrat to the boot - one cannot expect anything from such an ivory tower thinker. As for the likes of Arjun singh - his education is at best incomplete. I happened to meet a couple of youngsters in the UK who were there ostensibly for education and their profile was remarkable: Kids of politicians with little or no interest in studies (and not very bright either). Hence QED.

Very shame to you for writing your stupid comments. Desspite of govt's relief they are not in well positioned, how do you expect thet providing them more will improve it all. Just by going thro' expensive coaching, you can not get thro IITs/IIMs. many people goes thro coaching, not all of them get thro' it. As per you majority of SCs/STs cannot even afford a regular meal.So resernation is here for seats of Dr.s and engineers, not for food. Government is already providing foods to them thro' other corporations. You said, Why hasn't the country developed. Its very shame on you if you think that country is not developed. Or you don't know what is developemnt? If it is not developed how are you posting your messages on net. where did you get the information that only southern part has implemented the reservation and not the other part and which state is lagged behind? In all states of india reservations are implemented since long.if you think that just because kerela there is 100% literacy, all the southern states are developed then this is you misunderstanding.First get the difference between literate people and educate people. then talk about reservations.
