You seem to defend OBC reservations and say upper castes oppressed you. Can you explain how?
If you are a Dalit, your claims may justified to some extent. Reservations are justified only for discriminated people like Dalits, STs and Widows. Becasue they face certain social hindrances--they are looked down by OBCs and others [But Dalits often say OBCs are harsher than upper caste people]. Similarly Dalits find it difficult to get private accomodation outside the campus. If the private landlords realise they rented their apartment to Dalits, they try to eject them out on some other pretext.
BUT OBCs ARE NOT DISCRIMINATED PEOPLE, AND THEY DON'T DESERVE RESERVATIONS. THEY MUST COMPETE IN THE OPEN.

Reservation must be made for economically backward people. Now after this OBC quotas, economically weaker people of our comunity will loose may opportunities. All rich people will get the best out of the lot. Poor people will go without actual benefits, irrespective of casts/relligion.
In todays world, money poer is the might. So you need to get richer. Therefore, these reservations are required to make people equal. This has got no meaning when its based on caste/relligion..... Am sorry if my Muslim brothers get angry on me.

Sometimes it is very difficult to prove who is economically backward. Pariticularly with business people, big farmers, shop owners--who often even if they have millions of rupees income, on the records they show only Rs 10,000 as income. I know one persone son a big Cinama Hall was getting scholarship as Economically Backward Class person.
Nevertheless, I suggest concessions in fees and hostel expenses, free coaching, for ecomonomically backward people rather than reservations.

I agree with both of you, but some new idea can be made.
All tax payers should get some good benefits/subsidies, if they submit properly. There has to be identity no. (like social security no. in USA) and whatever the transation you made, it should be thro this no.
So you are accountable everywhere. When thi system is maintained, everyone scares for going fraud. Fraud people must be punished Severely.
Then nation gets enough money to spen for roads, bridges, dams, welfare of the people etc..
