Reservations

There is too much politics going on with the reservations. I support reservations for the needy. I don't support reservations based on cast.

To understand reservations in India, we need to understand a little history of India. The argument always runs that the so called backwards casts are so because of injustice in the old age society. Agreed. Why do we have to still continue to harvest the cast system? Isn't it an injustice still? We need to take a re-look at the reservation system.

We need to take a re-look at the reservation system. I would support a system based on economics, reservation based on income. We could increase funds for scholarships. There are hundreds of entrepreneurs who would be willing to participate. Free primary education for everybody in rural areas along with incentives like nutritious meals, financing for higher education with lower or no interest rates - these kind of planning certainly need to be in place. Dividing our society on cast is just a crime and a shame on governance.
