India has 40 % of the World's poor and 79 % of India lives on less than 2 dollars a day (Source-Wikipedia.og)This is the amount of money that can help a family barely make ends meet. Such skewed and dismal statistics are because India over the ages has never evolved as an egalitarian society.The caste system wrecked havoc on the majority of the population with only the elites benefitting with such logic and this was later followed by the feudal policies of the Maharajahs. Post independence, modern living and egalitarian beliefs were first introduced on a large scale.But to set things on an equal platter, it will take not just reservations but also a maasive change in mindsets and attitude to reject discrimination and untouchability rampant in the society. Finally, I do not agree with reservations for OBC's.The Dalits were the community who were socially discriminated and denied opportunities.The OBC's are basically land owning communities like Gounders in Tamil Nagu or Jats in the North.There is no logic to extend reservations to OBC's.

The creamy group among the OBC is excluded from the quota. That answers your worry.
