A. So reservation for the schedule castes and tribes and a few most backward classes is necessary till it succeeds in creating a level - playing field in society.
B. While reservation, per se, is discriminatory and opposed to an egalitarian society, as it gives an individual or a community an undue advantage over another, it cannot be denied that the people belonging to the scheduled castes and the scheduled tribes would not have achieved whatever they have achieved socially, politically and economically in the post independent India without reservation.
C. But, reservation for the economically backward will surely open a Pandaro's box, as there is no definite yardstick to measure whether an individual is poor.
D. The latest move to extend the benefit of reservation to the economically backward among the forward castes is really controversial.
