govt. should cancel all present reservations and keep 30% reservation in all sectors (except few like defence) on the basis of their economy (not on the basis of community or caste).
Such reservation facility has to advantage only poor fellows who cannot afford respective sector in money matter.

Please don't mislead people.
I am from the General category but don't find any merits in the protests against reservations. We can attain equality only if we treat unequals unequally. I know reservation based upon economic status is ideal...but u see this is not implementable....we don't have data of incomes of every individual....even National Sample Survey doesn't provide individual incomes data....This will open the doors for manipulation and underreporting of incomes leading to extensive corruption. Thus, thuogh reservation based upon economic status is ideal, it has its own limitations...which are rather more serious than those with caste-based reservation.
Thus, in absence of correct income levels, caste(though not ideal) can serve as a good measure of economic well being, on which reservations can be based. This is the next best think possible as we are well aware that SC/ST and OBC's have been ecnomically backward historically. I am not talking of a high-flying SC/CT or OBC but of a common person.

Caste based reservation is justified in SC/STs. Not in OBCs, as the 'C' in OBC rightly represents 'classes' and not 'castes'. The wide disparity in OBCs does not merit a caste based reservation.
