Can you solve simultaneous equations for four (unknown)variables with the help of three equations? On the basis of incomplete information you can't expect a right (correct ) answer. The two friends may be working equally hard, scoring equal marks, but their social conditions are not same, the student belonging to weaker section must be advanced as long as there is 'ONE AND ONLY ONE SEAT'. If another seat can be created (hypothetically) his friend may get it. In fact parents of both these students should elect a government that ensures All should get opportunity to learn without hurting other's chance. Till then, Reservation is valid....

Hi Aditya,
There is another story....
Two friends are there one is studying in good english medium school, he has got all the books, well educated parents, good guidance from family and tution etc. Another is studying in a govt school (non english medium). He does not have support from his family, does not get any direction from family and friends. Both go to 11th and 12th with Science major.
First boy gets 85%, second gets 75%, it was hard for him to switch to english medium all of a sudden and he did not had guidance, tution. Both have same IQ.
Now what do you think, both sould get higher education or only first one should get it?

Mr.Aditya, Then fight against caste system not the resevation system! Stop your crocodile tears and clean the social evil called caste system. Brahmins want to illtreat others but want equality in these cases! Equality should be everywhere

Dear friend, You have missed one point. Everyone studied 14 hrs and worked hard. Good. But do you thing that a farmer son has the same mental power and other advantages like coaching,teaching,etc,etc compared to a Brahmin Son?. Why don't you understand thousand year blockade?

Great grand father committed murder but died before getting punishment so should his great grand son be hanged in his place.

This argument 'about sin and confession' is bogus. Forget past. Think in a larger perspective. If India is to grow, All Indians have to grow. Where is the question of punishment. Since government has control over the resources at its disposal, it is trying to distribute it judciously to maximise social welfare.

you need to learn something mister. Abdul kalam was a farmer/some downtrodden fathers son, in many peoples opinion he has exceptional mental powers. so does Ambedkar, and others. You mean to say that you have people with mental disabilities are always in the farmers or downtrodden families and they should get seats reserved. Then why not have reservations for mentally retarded children as teachers. and then you can send your children to those teachers for training. sick freak. i dont want to hurt anyones feelings but sick retarded people like you make me want to vomit.
