OBC Reservation : Who reaps it ?


Reservation is concieved as a measure largely to overcome the 'HISTORICAL INJUSTICE' faced by our society sicne time immemorial.We the people of india has given ourself a chance to raise against the tide of casteism by giving reservation to ourselves. But, the recent trend of casteist elements quequeing to get backward classes status is a worrisome trend. Also, the lack of identification of the creamy layer for OBC's and poor implementation of the same while considering them for reservation perpetuates the top cream of OBC's squandering away the benefits actually conceived for the lower rung of OBC pyramid. The need of the hour is for the Government to take bold steps to undo these two dangerous trends in OBC Quota misuse. We Indians have given ourselves the benfit of Quota to uplift ourselves so again we have to weed out the inappropriate beneficiaries of the OBC Quota from endangering the interests OBC's in the lower level of the social pyramid.
