Religion, Caste And Tribe Based Reservation - 3

[Guest]

I think given the current environment, it makes sense to do the NSSO survey EVERY YEAR just like the budget.

Depending on the population percentages (and yes they all need to add upto 100%) the seats need to be divided.

Open category is passe. What is required is good strong boundaries. SCs go in the SC quota. Brahmins or whoever need to go get their own quota. etc..

There is no need to take 'moral high grounds' etc. Quota is a reality. There seems to be a consensus that caste based quota is required. As Veerappa Moily says the "anti-quota attitude is gone" and I agree. The only thing that doesnt make sense is the 'open' category. That needs to be shelved. There should be a brahmin category. There should be a kshatriya category. A vaishya category. A Shudra category. etc.. Each grouping can then make up their minds about creamy-layer and all that BS. Quota is important.

One of the arguments against this scheme could be that it would be cost-prohibitive to do surveys every year. I disagree. We do budgets every year. And we spend 16,700 crores to just implement OBC quota. So we have ample money and technology can decrease the costs tremendously. We have the election voter cards and that same database can be used to store this additional information.
