yogesh,i accept that it is not perfect.in such an argument,the highly polarised nature makes one to resort to positions that are not easily given up.the approach of the doctors in delhi and many others in this forum is what caused the most distress,the doctors walked with brooms on the streets. the creamy layer argument is the only one that looks faulty on the part of the government.the government has presented arguments to the supreme court about the reasons for including the creamy layer.it will be phased out.it is just not being considered now.that s all. the one point that stands out is that the open category is being increasingly filled by candidates from the obc s and sc s.the open category candidates are being outscored by the reserved categories.does nt that negate the argument about merit being the casualty that the anti reservationists have been propagating in the media

Government's argument for not excluding creamy layer is that many of the seats are going to be left empty.This argument of the government is flawed because for the last 60 years many SC.ST seats are being left empty .Coverting those empty seats in general category is forbided by the law.So on a similar line if some obc seats goes empty it is no harm.Other wise govtnment can bring down the number of seats reserved so that they dont go empty.At any rate creamy layer have no moral authority to ask for reservation.After all social jusice and social and educational upliftment is our goal is't it.
NOTE: Supreme court in many of its previous judgement(recently as high as 11 bench of judges) have asked to exclude creamy layer from getting reservation so that more deserving candidates can take reservation benefits. That is the reason Supreme court is NOT going to vacate the STAY unless govt make a law which excludes creamy layer.
