The following reservation policy will ensure proper representation of all deserving classes: - Those with less than 20% marks will not be admitted - 25% seats should be reserved for those getting 20-40% marks. - 25% seats should be reserved for those getting 40-60% marks. - 25% seats should be reserved for those getting 60-80% marks. - 25% seats should be reserved for those getting 80-100% marks. Selection in each category will be by computerised draw of lots.Since no one irrespective of caste,religion or economic conditions will be deprived of admission,who will complain ? All is fair in love and war and politics.

one more suggestion - as there wd be very few persons in 80-100% level and very high in 0-40% level so 1% selection from 80-100% level and 49% selection from 0-40% level

Apparently, good idea but unworkable! Does he mean percentage of seats in a seat of learning, or of applicants? If it is of seats, 25% cannot be filled by applicants securing 80 to 100 per cent. Then how to select 25% from the huge number of applicants, as in each of the first two or three categories, there would be huge number of applicants, calling for lotteries. If seats are filled by this formula, politicians will not be satisfied, because their votebanks will not swell, because an applicant from a lower caste can score very low, even lower than 20% and therefore, would not qualify. The best answer to Ms. Mayawati is that already by reservations for the SC, ST and the OBCs has already hit the ceiling of 50%, prescribed by the Constitution which cannot be amended except by a two-third majority. Let our politicians find some other way of swelling their votebanks and give up this silly, ruinous way of reservation. -Bibekananda Ray from Singapore

What you say makes lot of sense.You idea of capping reservations to 50% is reasonable.But how do we know whether the glass is half full or half empty? Regarding vote bank I fail to understand how that will be affected since every politician is saying the same thing and there is nothing to differenciate one from other unless someone wants 100% reservations which in any case is not feasible since it would require two thirds majority.
