[sir - though i am a secularist, believing in separation of religion from politics & public life, i am strongly opposed to caste quotas. caste quotas are not based on any rational survey or statistics.In a country with a large area and huge rural population like india,it is not easy to conduct surveys, statistics with 100% accuracy. apologists of caste quotas argue that because of untouchability, sc , st & bc are unable to keep up with brahmins in representation in govt.jobs and education. in that case why is it that muslims, christians, jains buddhist & sikhs, who have not been subject to untouchability, are also under represented in govt. jobs and education? infact muslims & christians were ruling our country for centuries!
the truth is that except brahmins all other communities have not adopted family planning. because of this their population has increased manifold in the twentieth century. but govt. jobs and educational oppprtunities have not increased to the same extent. the population growth of non brahmins in india over past 100 yrs. has been so high that govt. jobs and educational opportunities have not been able to correspondingly increase to that levels! so comparitively, it looks as though non brahmins are under represented in govt.jobs and educations. but it is not so. again, the truth is that the population growth of non brahmins is so high that their representation in govt. jobs and educational spheres looks relatively low. whereas for brahmins,their population has been decreasing day by day when compared to non brahmins, that even the smaller representation they have in govt. jobs& educational institutions looks higher.
sir- most of my views are inferences drawn after reading, seeing, hearing and talking to many sources. inferences do not need proof or evidences!!!
