Reservation is the brainchild of Ambedhkar and is being utilised by the corrupt brains now to selfish gains... There are many reasons but the main amongst these is the voting power that lies with the illiterates... politicians tap this vote bank and give promises after promises thus neglecting the brighter section of society; forget the brighter section, these promises by themselves are baseless and detrimental to society... After all it is democracy and whatever the masses say is right...!!!??? so now the masses shout "RESERVATION" on which the corrupt political mind readily plays on... To stop this vicious trap we (the public and the government) need to implement a system of voting, by which only the "really deserving" is elected. How? Let me explain: There should be two colums against every party on the ballot paper - one "for" and one "against"; the mechanism is that each of the "against" vote should nullify the valid "for" vote and thus only those with a clear majority would be elected. Also this provides an opportunity to express dissatisfaction for a party/candidate when no body is worth voting for... this would pull the middle class and the literate out of their cosy homes and make them feel that they can have a say in the election process...
The benefits - 1. politicians would be careful to give promises 2. they would be fair to all sections of the society
As an extension, politicians getting negative votes may be disqualified to compete elections

Pls read the last sentence as:
"As an extension, politicians getting more negative than positive votes can be disqualified for future elections. This would also ensure that parties also do not spring up live fungus"
