The Founding Fathers of our great democracy expected reservations to last for a decade or so. But it seems it has only begun even after 60 years. So, will we get a reservation free India, ever ? Why not freeze all reservations as of now for a year. From the next year, reduce reservations for each category by half a percent. This goes on till the quota becomes zero. This way, after about 50 years, our grandchildren may live in a equitable society. But what is most important is to keep creamy layer out, every year so that the real needy in the backward communities get the benefit of reservations. Government funded schools of excellent quality must give free education to the backward communities till higher secondary, so that they can become competitive. For this, the government must develop partnerships with NGOs and private players. I think people must debate options to genuinely free our country of the bane of eternal reservations. If it left to the politicians, we will have a divided and unjust society.

A very noble idea.. I would also add something to it.. Any person who benefits from Quota (27% or 50%) should get into some kind of bond/conditions with Government.
1)They need to work only in India. 2)Doctors from quota work in Govt hospitals (city/rural) only 5 yrs full time no other place 3)Teachers teach in Govt Aided schools (urban/rural) only 5 yrs 4) Similarly each field person serves the corresponding fields in Govt.
Heavy fine/punishment laws who violate.
All the above measures will enhance the Govt Aided school/hospital/institutions and bring in par to Private and reduce the urban/rural parity
