It is interesting to know that a former President of India and the current Chief Justice are eligible for reservation under the new Government policy!!! If a dalit can become the chief justice of India and of course (former) President, we need to think why we need 50% reservation? These are people who defied all odds (remember they are not even from current generation which is much better off) and grew to the top. Hence the argument of them being from a deprived class is baseless. Reservation has to be based on economic categorization (I know this has been said time and again) Arjun Singh should stop playing games with people of India, and let his grey cells work in a more advanced manner. Also, it is to be notice the kind of progress that the state of Kerala has made. Remember, that is the only state in India where you find Hindus, Muslims and Christians in almost equal proportion - yet with no communal riots! The other states should learn from Kerala...
