This is a well thought out decision by Supreme court. This if implemented properly will make sure it is harder to abuse reservations which were originally intended to bring up people who would not have made it otherwise due to disadvantages they were born with. Now some politicians want to make this their vote bank for selfish reasons. Such traitors would not stop at anything to get in power. So they are obviously not too happy about creamy layer since then their kins can not get into premier institutions. Eliminating creamy layer suits them fine as then they can reap all the benefits while the real folks who deserve this are left behind. At the same time, these selfish people can keep on fooling poorer people of OBCs etc and keep on looking like champions. Best of both the worlds. They are afraid that if the others start getting chances, they will start seeing through these selfish politician tactics. Biggest loser is India as the society slowly fragments due to caste etc which instead of gradually fading out is now gaining prominence thanks to VP Singh/Arjun Singh. If you look at history, India has always been easy to fragment which is why so many invasions were successful. Hopefully some politicians will realize this and work on these things in less divisive manner.

I agree. We are being made more aware of our caste differences now than ever before. Just to satisfy the lust for power of a few handful of people (our anti-national politicians). The problem is that there is no one among this class who is genuinely interested in India and its progress, its identity. they don't mind what the hell happens to the country so long as their coffers are filled and they get the kursi. They are so short sighted that they do not see that their future generations also have to live in the same country and any decision they take now will affect their kids/grand children as well. Where will they escape to if there's any turmoil/trouble in the country? to what extent can their ill-gotten wealth help them? hp
