all people give attention to Dinesh's data

My friend if it is so, why dont we remove the reservation. As there is no much difference that you want to point out, I think reservation doesnt serve anything other than caste differentition!!! And yet Tamilnadu has 69% reservation, right Dinesh? and Karunanidhi is still demanding reservation for OBCs in IIT, IIM, AIIMS. Does he want all Doctors, engineers from castes other than upper castes, even if he doesnt say it directly. He has kept some seats for open category but how useful are they? Again this shows that there is substantial progress in SC/ST/OBC classes, but still there is reservation; so what is the criteria to end the caste based reservation? Will they end the reservation after they have doctor in each house of category people? I am just jocking. But responsible politicians should address these questions.

Hi yogesh may be Karunanidhi may is to have one doctor ,one iim,one IAS in each of the reserved cast .MAy be even after that he may not want to remove reservation afetrall he needs votes.

By the way dont get disheartened because as soon as the govt is forced to intoduced creamy layer concept these every strong reservationist will become very vocal anti-reservationist and not even neutral in just one go rest assured.
Afterall we all including creamy layer want upliftment of "backward caste" but not at our own expense.

Dinesh if govt is not agree for removal of creamy layer for what ever reasons it sounds some thing like this .Hope you lisnet for Eg
A son of IAS officer (whoes father has gotcollege seat, job and even promotion through reservation)has scored 80% marks and rest of the people in reserved category have got less then him but they come from non creamy layer .But still he wants seat under reservation for the backwardness of his fellow cast category people. How absurd is that ,Give me reservation because others in my cast are backward in though Iam not backward but dont give my seat to other backward(read non creamy layer).How funny it sounds.Any suppose he is not being given reservation and e is pushed in general category where the seats have alreay
being close for 81%.Now that is a real tragic joke on that poor fellow.Dinesh Kumar immagine that son to be your son how are you going to consoul him if you have any haert?

yogesh,are we a developed country?there are 500 million people in the obc category.that is not an exaggeration.our population is 1100 million.even if we take it to be 400 million,there is a whole lot of progress to be made.the creamy layer will surely be excluded(maybe in 2013).reservations will probably continue till 2023.in that period,if according to ur fear,the brahmin or any other community becomes eligible for reservations according to the criteria of the mandal commission,they will be included in the reserved list.i cant see that happening.
(for example,one criteria is the number of matriculates in that caste should be 20% lesser than the state average.)
people who are uplifted will go about their lives without looking for reservations.there are 500 private engg colleges in india.intermarriages will become common and caste will be forgotten.already,most of the students studying abroad have mixed marriages,some marry foreigners.see tomorrows matrimonial column in the newspaper,u will find atleast some with caste no bar,that will increase with time.
