Yes there is an outburst of emotion when Dr. Ambedkar's statue was defaced. But we have also came across people who don't know what they are doing (this has been pointed out by many news papers and channels). When asked they say since other people from our area throwing stones we are also. Now please don't say that since news papers and channels are run by upper caste people hence they show such things. What I see here is dalit leaders exploiting sentiments of there own people, for personal gains. You ask any 'educated dalit' ( there will be many of them thanks to reservations ) they will be definitely against such a kind of protest.

Reservations are legislative (not judicial or society) response to historical social evils to certain sections of the society. Government should scrap reservations when 85% of marriages in India are inter-caste or inter-religious.
