Social engineering will only be used by political parties to win elections.I totally disagree with your point of view. Reservation is not the way forward, if at all the government is concerned about the education of the underprivileged why not introduce a merit cum means scholarship for those who can prove themselves to be worthy of it. More and more people are graduating each year from numerous colleges and universities still we face an acute shortage of employable people. Despite being only second to China in churning out graduates we still lag far behind them in generating employment opportunities. Instead of choking the system further by thrusting reservation in the private sector we need to re-examine our current education system and making more relevant . Reservation might help a person become the first graduate in his family but how much of help is it in providing good job opportunities and equipping him with the skill sets desirable in the job market is the question that needs to be pondered.
