At 70% reservation in the society which is maybe 20% 'backward' the 'benefits' and the opportunity costs should decrease - except for the few who will fall by the wayside.

Tamil Society
Brahmins = 3%
OBC-Dwijas = 25%
MBC = 55%
SC = 16%
ST = 1%

Reservations
----
Open = 31%
OBC = 30%
MBC = 20%
SC = 18%
ST = 1%

In short the real MBC are getting screwed royally by the OBC-Dwijas
The OBC-Dwijas , Annadurai, Periyar , DMK etc have incited the MBC and Dalits in the name of caste-equality and anti-brahminism to evict the brahmin while they grab the fruits for themselves

The victims are brahmins who are evicted and the MBC and Dalits who get fooled by false slogans

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The other aspect of this is that this should result in suboptimal allocation of resources (if limited) while at the same time suboptimal realization of payoffs.

My suspicion is that both of these must hold true for the TN society. What would be the best way to prove this ?

Compare Arun Jaitly and P.Chidambaram
They look alike,
Jaitly is forward caste, P.Chidambaram is OBC

The brighter , higher IQ tamil brahmins have moved elsewhere
Many tamil brahmins have also moved into business and are prospering as
factory owners while the dravidianists are fighting over crumbs such as jobs in the factory
