All of SC/ST/OBC and forward caste like brahmins are losers. Here is why: (1)For SC/ST their share of pie has gotten smaller. Now they will have to compete with OBCs. And it is the OBCs that oppress dalits not brahmins. Mayawati raised the same point during elections. OBCs include bhumihars, yadavs and Jats they oppress dalits more as these people hold real power in villages not the temple priest. (2) Forward caste are now openly dicriminated against. There is no reason for them to love India anymore. They should start looking to move to countries like US/Canada. (3) OBCs just got branded as backwards. I was just talking to recruiter here in US who recruits from IITs/IIMs. He told me point blank, more reservation means his job of recruitment becomes easy. For ex, earlier he had to interview tons of people in IITs and IIMs, now he says he just has to pick from top 50%. For the rest of the needs they would go to second tier schools. Because that is where the "next best" who could not make it IIT/IIM went. He said point blank, IIT/IIM teach from same books as any other college. The difference in students is the difficult entrance. Because we know someone clearing that without any reservation is good by default. We hire from IIT/IIMs just for same reason, otherwise even a Jaunpur MBA has same syllabus and curriculum and books. So OBCs still won't be hired. No need to worry as talent gets discovered anyhow.

What is bothering you all in giving the unfortunate ones a push to get up and walk like others. It would have made more sense had the reservation been on economic conditions rather than caste/religion.
All these policies has to be made to correct the indescrepancies(prejudice) in Indian history when only the previledged ones had the education,employment and respect which is what created a huge disparity among us.
Now lets give those unfortunate ones a chance to live and be equal. I agree that most of the reservation quota would be taken advantage of many well to do people. But I think atleast 10-15% of it would help the needed ones.
Supreme Court has said that the reservation policy would need to be reviewed periodically.
Your friend's Job is of very least interest here. The goal here is to makes the lives of some unfortunates ones better. There would be support and resistance. But that is a part of this change.
No matter how you yell out, it will hardly change as more than 40% of the Indian population is made of OBCs and other categories.
Tell your recruiter friends to look for other countries as he may not be able to get the needed heads from the top 50%.

do you think the reservation policy approved by Supreme court will stay as it is ? Just wait and watch before the politicians change it to include creamy layer too in the quota. I am a FC but I like this judgement but I am sure the dirty stinking politicians are going to change it to include 'creamy' layer. After all if they dont include 'creamy' layer all the politicians sons and daughters will have to compete fairly and equally like the rest of us.
