Since the independence, India is having a reservation for sceduled caste and scheduled tribes for education and government jobs. Susequently, the same was extended to other backward class people.
In spite of the reservations for last 60 years or so, the actual condition of the backward classes doesn't seem to have improved. At the same time, there are several folks from so called forward classes, who are so poor that they can't impart education to their wards. I feel it's high time, the reservation is kept only for the economically backward people only. This being the sole yardstick, it'll automatically cater to help the needy people from all castes while weeding out the financially developed people.
