It is alright at that time that the Brahmins with only 3% population were occupying large no of posts. It was because at that time the educated were the Brahmins. Why did the politician include the great so called luminaries not advocate that all should get education irrespective of caste and give reservations strictly for 10 years or one generation of education. Ambedkar wanted that only by giving reservations only for 10 years. It was only politics of the later years which used it for vote bank. You cannot say that in order to reverse the injustice perpetrated for centuries by the upper castes, we have to extend reservation for thousand years. It is foolish and ill conceived vision of the present politicians who are selfish to the core. India will reap the results of this malignancy in politics soon. jagadisan
