What else u can say about this article.:-) he is using "his confusion" as argument?
Well, only thing I can say, what goes around comes around. Upper caste used caste system for their benifits, now the same caste system is being used by lower caste for their purpose.
destroy the caste system and get rid of the crap bag we are carrying for thousands of years! But how would u do that? what will happen to the multi-billion dollar economy controlled by upper castes based upon caste system.. their you go.. you do not want to lose what u have they want to gain what they dont have. fight will continue.
India will never be a real democracy until we have a social democracy

What else can "we" say about your confused reading of non-existent confusion in this article ? The author's point is well-supported, you too use just another of those abuses as an argument; and in the process, expose your own limitations of comprehension.
The author is not arguing either side of the reservation case ( though his views can of course be discerned by his tone & language ); merely stating so coherently the depressing lacunae in the current arguments pro & against. That one side is merely abusing the second, rather than marshalling facts in support of their stand.
And it's eminently obvious that you couldn't get the thread of the piece right.
God save us from our own country-men, woeful debaters all. And which is precisely the point this writer is making !!!!
P.S. And it is not ".. their you go.. "; should have been ".. there you go.. ". In case it's just an oversight, good for you. Else, it shows up that you could only confusion where none exists !!!!

Poor and very funny arguments by the author.
Policies are not decided by shouting, they are decided by debates in our parliament.
And political parties support the affirmative actions because they know the ground realities. They know because they have to interact with them, to get votes for getting the power.
Although the upper caste politicians may not be personally in favour of reservations, for remaining in power his party has to continue with the policy. For they have to go the same people again for the votes.
The so-called "elite" class of India is ignorant as is fed with prejudice since the birth. All of economy is under the command of upper caste people. The government jobs and college seats reserved for Dalits only make them a servant. All the wealth and land was unfairly grabbed since ages. There are no enterprenuers in India because they are killed and suppressed by the family owned businesses, who hold on to the wealth by all unfair means. They don't value talent, but the lineage. And this inscestous inbreeding leads under-utilization of the human talent. No wonder, India fares so poorly in all the competitions as only a fraction of population is used to pick our representatives from.
