Dr Udit Raj, Whatever may be the reason, destroying public properties and disturbing the life of public cannot be justified, regardless it is done by dalit, brahmin, or people in any other caste or religion. Or else, it will be easier for any anti-social elements to start a riot. They just have to deface some statue. Also reservation is not the way to empower dalits. But education is. In case of reservation, it will be taken by the upper crest of dalits. The poor uneducated people, who faces discrimination will remain so. We have to give them better education, and that is the best and only solution to empower dalits. The police and administration should take actions whenever and whereever there is discrimination and should takes step to ensure everybody is treated equally.

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.
