Anyway, don't they know caste system exists only in Hinduism that's why so many convert to escape the atrocities which we subject them to everyday.

Based on some resources, I can understand, why Patels started the agitation. They put up two choices. One of the choices was grant them also reservation. And the other one was scrap the reservation system altogether. And the more important point here is they want the second choice and not exactly they want the reservation.

That's an interesting take. 😊 Its time to scrap it all together and if other groups join in the movement it could become stronger. The govt will be forced to do some serious thinking.

Definitely the reservation system in India, is making more and more upper caste groups of people insecure about their future and that is what is the cause of this type of agitation.

Not only upper caste but also some who are already enjoying OBC status would be worried because if the Patels succeed in getting themselves included for reservation it could eat into the existing OBC seats.😛

If India is to improve. reservation system has to be abolished altogether.

Look at one more point. Probably when they started the reservation system in 1950s, they had some good objective for that. The objective they wanted to achieve has failed. Why do we have to continue with something which doesn't work?

It may not work for the majority population but it works for those benefitting from it and also for the politicians who have vested interests in continuing such policies.

Does that mean that reservation is a sort of retribution and not only for giving level field to the deprived?

Umm yeah! I know but the circumstances can drop them in such situation. Btw i was just suggesting a way how a appropriate step can be taken to abolosh the reservation.

The reservation prevails in AIIMS as well!

Ibnbatuta no, not all muslims are equal, idk what's the criteria in reserving seats for only a small no. of Muslims and Sikhs but yes seats are reserved for muslims as well.
