LOOK, RESERVATION SHOULD BE THERE , BUT IT SHOULD BE A POINT BASED SYSTEM . LET ME XPLAIN
One can develop several parameters like---
---economic/financial status
---caste (after all this also plays a role in backwardness)
---regional location
---gender
---family background
all and maybe more parameters can be developed to which respective weightage can be given. hence each individual can be given points based on which an institution can decide to allot a seat to a particular candidate.
Also ,economic status should be gven maximum weightage .
IN MY OPINION TOTAL RESERVED SEATS SHOULD NOT CROSS 33%.
