In this state, the reservations are 90% and fraudulent interviews to eliminate any candidate they like is routine. Their claim that they can not take out creamy layer is fraudulent claim. CM and his family are creamy layer. The fellow who took that dirty movie called Periyar is creamy layer. Creamy layer by definition is one who has taken advantage of the reservations for two or even three generations and the one who is earning more than certain amount and the one who is in gazetted govt. position. Supreme court can breath some sense into this, but they cannot implement. The caste tirade goes on there. They justify the nonsense by cursing Brahmins at every opportunity. Why only in Tamilnadu, in every state there are people in below poverty line line irrespective of caste. If they say my caste had opportunity 1000 years ago, I did not live 1000 years ago and such statements are speculative. No one knows who my relatives were 1000 years ago, and what kind of hardships they had to endure under the foreign rulers or even native rulers. I am not against quota to uplift people who need. Children whose fathers are ministers, governors, IAS officers, Judges to claim backwardness is obscene and takes away the possibility of uplifting those who really need it. One has to be aware that even if 100% reservation is imposed, it would not be sufficiently cover the needy.

Unfortunately, ALL our political parties are hell bent on continuing reservation, though it was supposed to be eliminated after a couple of decades. They keep extending the reservation by another decade. All this means is that the scheme is flawed in logic and implementation. The richer among the backward communities are continuing to exploit the reservation (and they are influential political class too), and are not allowing the poor among them to overcome the wretched conditions they live in.
Infact it is the upwardly mobile backward castes that are exploiting the poor, as a votebank. That is the reason for them to oppose the creamy layer definition.

The reservation continues even now means it shows the status of the Hifh caste rulers for the past 60years.
