The appeal of institutionalized reservation in India is attributable, in the first place, to the worsening of economic, mental, emotional, physical, social, cultural and political conditions that have thrown wide layers of the population off balance, deeply alienating them for centuries, to the benefit of very few(Brahmins). Majority of disoriented middle caste and dalits have slowly evolved an opposition to the status quo that rejects norms of equal representation for all groups(advantaged and disadvantaged) and embraces what it conceives to be "caste" means, i.e., devolution of basic Universal Human Rights for majority in a society.
Reservation finds its ideological sources in the filth thrown up by Decaying "upper caste" society: racism, the cult of untouchability and suppression.

If u think ppl are still suffering just because they are from a lower caste, why dont u go and make sure they are not discriminated against? There are laws against untouchability and other things, why dont u make sure these are implemented well rather than ask for a back door entry into reputed institutions? After all, most of the enforcers, police, come from so-called "backward castes"! and finally if u think discriminating ppl based on caste, that was going on much earlier in India was wrong, why let it happen against the general category now??? 2 wrongs do not make a right

This is Goebelsian propaganda at its best.The education in this country was never confined to any particular section of the society. For a thousand years the country was enslaved and those who decided who shd have education were not certainly friends of Hindus, certainly not of the upper castes. Brahmins were the worst sufferers under the reign of these oppressors,the Muslims and then the Britishers.The Britishers threw the education open to EVERYONE WHO HAD A DESIRE TO STUDY.Most of the educational institutions were run by the Missionaries who had reasons to displace the Brahmins' place in the society as the educated class.If u were not interested in education and found business or idleness far more profitable, u cannot blame others. No amount of sophistry u display can hide ur naked lust to partake of the growth of economy, fuelled by the meritorious and not the mediocre. The independence was won by the blood, sweat and tears of the upper castes and those who supported the Britishers, like Karunanidhi and his mentors who begged the Britishers to rule atleast Tamil Nadu alone, if not the entire country, are now hungry to hog the fruits of independence. Reservations reduce u to a beggar, dependent on the mercy of the parasite politician, and u have no shame in accepting it instead of saying leave me alone, give me the necessary inputs, I'll prove I am one among the best. A free lunch is for the indolent, an earned lunch is the pride of the deserving. Ur choice is obvious.
