I'm saying this because I had seen firsthand on the reservation policies in TN.. Though I've not received any favour through reservation, I had seen a lot of my classmates who were able to attend good colleges only because of reservation.. If not for reservation they might've never completed their graduation!!
Talented students FC/BC/SC will come up for sure, but those who are downtrodden will never realise thier potential if a chance was not given...
yes may be out of 100 students in a class, 5 may be underqualified, 5 qualified students may be denied, but there'll be 20 students who'll be in the class only for the reservation (they might've got very less information as they'll be the first graduate in thier family, no guidance, lack of facilities like the web, lack of english knowledge etc.)
Given a chance I'll go for the lesser of the evils - reservation based on caste till reservation based on economic conditions is possible or made reality..
ofcourse some steps ahould be taken to implement reservation based on economic conditions which is true reservation...
