I find it absurd that you believe enforcing reservations is the way to bring about unawareness of one another's caste among students!Reservation is one sure shot way to promote hostility among students.And have you considered the long term implication of reservation and its compromising effects on the quality?Honestly tell me would you like to be treated by a doctor who was a beneficiary of reservation and would not have made it on the basis of merit alone?
Your eagerness to help the downtrodden is misdirected..if caste is your basis of defining downtrodden then it's off the mark.Aren't there poor among forward castes?You even acknowledge that forward castes suffer as a result of such policies but apparently u think it's justifiable.I have spent all my years in Tamil nadu and have personally come across people who have no business utilising reservations..they are so well off thats it a crime to consider them downtrodden in any stretch of imagination.If resesrvations are a must then should be only on economic grounds..and do not dismiss me as an aggrieved person of forward caste..I've seen enough to understand the futility and unfairness of reservations.It pains me to see people advocating reservation probably because they have not experienced its impact on people's lives.
