The allmighty intent of reservations-very wrong in the first place-was to give the not-so-affording(but perhaps brilliant) ones an opportunity to study and develop themselves into awesome persons,in the finest institutions of India.However wrong, it was to be only for a limited period of about 40 to 50 years! What is it that Arjun Singh and the Congress party has found lacking in OBC's that can be rectified with this reservation? How will it be if 50% seats in the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies were reserved and elections were held for only the balance 50%? Should there not be something called competition?
If one desires to help the weaker sections provide them the best possible (free) primary & high school education opportunities and after thus bring them 'on par' let EVERYONE COMPETE for the best Colleges-without reservation! If a weaker section student scores terrific marks(shows his brilliance) encourage him with a hansome scholarship - to help him through College! I Guess with the top positions in the Congress Party being reserved for Sonia Gandhi's children the Arjun's bring in reservations to help "their lot".
