The "reservation politics" has diluted the quality of higher education in the country .Instead of giving reservation, what the government needs to do is to provide better living condition for the citizens . Let each individual work hard and come up in life . We should throw away the democratic system inorder to protect our education sector. regards sreenivas bangalore

It is available at http://www.achrweb.org/Review/2008/217-08.html The ongoing protests by Gujjars in Rajasthan have already claimed at least 38 lives. The showdown is likely to intensify with the Gujjar protestors blocking the National Highway linking Jaipur to Delhi, and the security forces surrounding the protestors. In the last two decades, affirmative actions have been diluted for vote bank politics. The Central government of India must find a holistic solution to the demand for Scheduled Tribe status by several groups and for that matter the government must develop or lay down clear criteria required for being recognized as Scheduled Tribes. There are over 100 groups which have submitted applications to the Ministry of Tribal Affairs for recognition as Scheduled Tribes. If the Centre attempts to find a solution only for the Gujjars, it will open the Pandora box.
