It would appear that the Gujjar leader believes that reservations are his birth right. I guess it is but natural for him to think so, since many of his party colleagues think likewise. It is just political expediency that is fuelling this agitation. Nothing more. The videos on national TV are ample testimony of the fact that these people are there for the fun of it. What is worse is that most of the agitators appear well-off and are far from the starving tribals that they would have us believe. It makes a mockery of the reservation idea.
It is time to take cognizance of the Supreme Court's ruling and disband reservations once and for all.
That will go a long way in making our country a great place.
Nobody should be allowed to hold a country to ransom. And threats such as those suggested by some readers are most retrograde. How can they help a country?
We have far more serious issues to address than this game that politicians play.

Our constitution is of double standards at one place we talk equality amongst citizens and on other hand there is discrimination on cast lines.
