Folks, I just read the judgement text from the supreme court site via., rediff. For creamy layer, SC had given so many conditions and if u read it it would seem that most of the OBCs would be excluded by critieria of 'rich'. Ultimiately, my thought is that most of the seats reserved would go empty.

if we see objectively some reservation is required in this country - for the OBCs who are really poor also. but in reality, atleast in Tamilnadu, the entire chunk goes to the so called non-brahmin upper castes only who got these BC tags somehow. if you see some of the posh areas like anna nagar, etc in chennai 80% of the properties are owned by such OBCs only. even Karunanidhi still calls himself a BC person!! many of the doctors, engineers, ias officers in TN are OBCs. this lobby will ensure that the creamy layer is removed and will continue to enjoy at the cost of the real deserving downtrodden - who may not even know that such benefits are there for them. unfortunately even the communists dont raise their voice in this for fear of losing votes. only MGR had the guts but it was short lived - he tried to exclude the creamy layer but then backtracked. so unless awareness comes to the downtrodden it is only to benefit the creamy layer who do not deserve the reservation.

We can make another constitutional amendment so this creamy layer is also removed. So you dont worry.
