Reservation in Indian conditions

Well I feel there seems to be a big problem in our understanding of who should get reservations and who should not. Very honestly speaking, reservation is a must in Indian scenario but the question is Reservation for whom and at what level? In india the problem of reservation and its implementation is more political than socio-economical.
The real problem and its base and its solution are totally lost in the war for power (read Political power).
Would it not be more beneficial and the real solution if RESERVATION is provided at school level in the better public / private schools?
Would it not be better that economically sound people should be left out of the RESERVATION system?
Would it not be better that reservation should be provided to ECONOMICALLY BACKWARD people instead of BACKWARD CASTE people?

India seems to be the only country in the world where since its independence people have GONE BACKWARDS THAN FORWARD??!!!!!!

Today every tom, dick and harry wants to become backward so as the get the share of the plum cake called reservation.

Take this.
If the recent census shows that the so called socially backward class people account for more than 50 % of Indias population, then a new problem will emerge. The so called General people will have the right to count themselves in MINORITIES. So they may ask for RESERVATION too. And else RESERVATION is already there.

So I think the  best bet is to declare the entire nation as backward. We will be a big happy backward family and then maybe people will realise that its better to give reservations based on economic conditions than out age old caste system which has hollowed Indian system for thousands of years.

So friends welcome to the bandwagon of BACKWARD PEOPLE. Ahoy!!!
