Well, agreed that govt.'s policies on reservation are entirely motivated by its desire to capture the vote bank...but social disintegration is so deep rooted in India that we can hardly blame our politicians of misusing it for their benefits...And a perfect example of the indian mentality is this article;which promotes casteism in almost the same manner as our govt.Why do we always have to think in terms of caste and not in terms indians as a whole.. Though i agree with this article when it says that govt. should not give benefits to a cerain section of our society on the basis of caste but on the basis of economic backwardness; but do you really think it is the right way of approaching the problem? Giving a wake up call to a certain section of the society will further segregate us... and we will end up in a situation no better than the present scenario..

It was deep rooted a long time back. But now the scenario has totally changed. Have you ever asked anyone in your class, anyone of your classmates or friends about their caste? I dont think that we have ever asked any of my friends about their caste. Give me an example where so called OBCs are neglected. They have got enough support of government and being citizen of free India they have every right to fight for discrimination if they face. But the basis that so called OBCs are having greater population in India, they should get more reservation, is not correct from any viewpoint. I assume that you belong to an abysmal poor class and your parents had no means of earning. You would have enjoyed reservation in schools, colleges and getting jobs too. But even after getting so many facilities from Government, your children claim for the reservation because they are OBC, this is neither a fault of society, government nor so called forward class. This is entirely your fault as you have developed a habit of reservation for the past 50 years.
