as long as low caste hindus enjoy quota,it is okay becouse they were oppressed by what you call high caste hindus.but can not accept converts of low caste from hinduism to allen christianity and islam to ripe the benefit by changing the religion for the sake of money/job and claiming again quota in education/job meant for hindus only on above count. as hindu unity is prime importance,no higher caste hindu will not make any hue and cry as long as this low caste hindu remain as HINDU (no caste tag to be mentioned anymore)but can not accept those converts to ride on the back of hindus for the benefits meant for them.

The question is not about PAYBACKTIME but who enjoys reservation. Can our system let rich among lower caste people to enjoy reservation if their forefathers have enjoyed it. For exampl, karunanadhi, ramadoss etc are lower caste or OBC. They are rich and have properties. Why do they need reservation for their children? So, in fact, they are denying reservation to genuinely poor OBCs. Even economic criteria have to be taken into consideration.
