Dear Akmm dvk, The best way for Dalits to progress is to get the government to open good schools with excellent faculty and facilties for select Dalit students from LKG till Class XII. they should then be left to compete in the open quota. Only then will Dalits progress. Otherwise they will remain backward. No use moaning and whining about there being no dalits in IITs. Why don't you and your family members go only to Dalit doctors who have made it to Medical College only because of the quota? It is time you guys realise how self defeating reservations are. Otherwise, one has to conclude that not only are you guys too lazy to compete and come up in life but also are too stupid to understand anything. Thanks, P.B.Mohan
