The million dollar question is not who wrote & practiced Vedas and Mantras, but why should reservation divide people based on specific social groups. Talking about the past will not yield anything. Conveniently, people who support reservation forget the fact the entire system is being misused. The good deeds of the system are overshadowed by the damage it makes to the society. Reservation in any form increases the gap between various social groups. It increases hatred amongst people and creates sociological problems. The reservation system is the root cause of the religious intolerance that prevails in most part of our country.
We have reservation in almost everything. Instead of providing reservation per se, the laws of our land should be tightened to protect the rights of the marginalized. Change is the only constant. We need a change to the existing reservation system. Continuing it for another century would reverse the existing reservation system. In future, we may need a new system to protect the rights of a group which was once considered a forward social group.
