I am a Brahmin and I must accept the fact that as long as there is a caste system, there is a need for one time reservation.... If not ask an upper caste boy/girl to marry with a dalit girl/boy.....ask their parrents too...u wuld get the core to reality...i have got married in other caste and my father-in-law claims that he married his doughter to me, since I was in upper caste..... Guys, easier said than done....very few people get up to a challenge...but even if u cant end castism...u should be realistic about reservation...too much is bad...one time reservation is ok as long as there is castism.

Dear Ashish , understand the basic concept of giving reservation.Reservation was not given to make poorer rich . It's the reservation against the very old reservation created by Chaturya varna system .It's very much prevailing till date.Once chaturya varna system is erdicated from heart and soul of people this very minute reservation for which you are protesting will automatically go . The caste system created by Chaturya varna system is the biggest hidded evil reservation system on the earth .So please dedicate your life to eradicate this deadly Chaturya varna system .You will be the happiest person in the world if you acieve this .

According to the old system, a brahmin was not allowed to carry on the profession of other castes unless it is out of sheer necessity or poverty or self defence etc. He was only supposed to be a philosopher, interpreter of laws, teacher, priest etc. This means in effect, there was 100% reservation for others. I wonder why the present day Manus cannot bring a system where even 27% reservation is messed up. Each man to his talent is the maxim. Otherwise I wonder why Mayavati doesn't appoint any Dalit as her Party's president instead of herself.
Today more than 50% of the officers in the armed forces are brahmins. Depriving the brahmin of his original occupation will only adversely affect the lower castes. This is because he will occupy the next level viz that of the Kshatriyas, who will then push out the vaishyas and so on till the lowest castes will have nothing to do but become beggars and anti-social elements.
It is nice to talk about equality and all that. Maybe we are all born equal but we are not destined to live equally. .
