Reservations is a form of socialism - get rich quick
Land reform, - sieze land without compensation from landlords
Worker rights - make it impossible to fire workers
Subsidies for gas, electricity, food etc
In the long run, there is no such thing as a free lunch and it took the 1991 crisis to slowly dump socialism
I dont know what it will take to dump reservation
India has lacked leaders of vision like Lee Kuan Yew
Modi has a good start, he cut off free power even at the risk of losing votes
The correct path is universal good primary schools then universal good secondary schools and then universal good 2 year colleges then universal good 4 year colleges
All this takes time and probably 4 - 6 generations
farm worker -> factory unskilled worker -> factory mechanic => factory
technician -> factory engineer -> business owner
The India public does not have the discipline of the japanese or korean worker to get rich slowly
so what happens is that Mayawati gets rich immediately whereas the rest of the dalits still are lagging behind
