I think the reservation can be done on financial background. Well, if Dalits are so much for caste based reservation, I would say we can have caste-cum-financial based reservation. Atleast I would be fine if poor dalits can get the benefits instead of richer ones.

The real SC and OBC are not getting the benefits. It is the rich and elite SC and OBC are raking the benefits provided by quota. I can tell you many examples. One is Doctor Ramadoss. He claims to be the champion of OBC. His son Anbumani is again a doctor, who got admission to Medical course based on his OBC status. Anbumani has three daughters who are studying in best of the best schools in India and again they would soon be joining medical colleges based on the quota system. I know the cases of many Scheduled Caste IAS officers whose sons have become IAS again b'cause of their SC status. Supreme court should give benefit to real, poor SC and OBC people. The Indian Govt should devise a way every OBC & SC gets benefit once. For that, income criteria should be brought in.

Very rightly the benefits should be given once,and based on income.Unfortunately no political parties have the will,as a result the cruel system keeps on perpetuating with no end in sight,and the quotas keep on growing.
