Our problem is that we have too much of politics instead of economics. Barriers of caste region and religion are ruining us. Let there be more economic activity in any form which can reverse the situation. Produce and produce more goods and services, so that you have enough to distribute. You can only distribute affluence in the form of more commodities and services for the people. You can not distribute poverty. Reservations are resorted to because there is dearth of good things. Grow more and produce more, things will take care of themselves.
