I have been reading a lot about the agitations going on regarding the quota system. I have a very simple suggestion for this about which I don't seem to have read any where.
The quota system (reservations) should be given for only one generation. If one of the parents have availed the quota facility, the next generation should be competing with the general pool. This should be made a rule.
This way more number of people who actually need this reservations can avail them. The people who avail these benefits are by and large people who are already in the higher economic strata of society by virtue of their parents being in good postion. The very purpose of reservations , which is to bring the down trodden to upper echolon of society is lost because of this.
Weightage should be given to students who come from the rural schools. They need the encouragement as they don't have the facilites which the urban students get while preparing for exams or even for job interviews.
When economic backwardness is kept as the criteria for reservations it will not be effective. I have seen in my school days many a well to do children applying for 'free ship' (fees waiver) by giving false certificates for their parent's income.
If the reservation is not extended to the second generation, then one fine day the entire population of back ward community would be covered.
I am sure the powerful community leaders will be the last to encourage such a measure as their interest is last entirely.

This idea is rational and it was touted sometime back. But no politician would look at it.They are looking for instant and cheap route to votebank.Elections in many states in 2007 is their target for all their actions.
There should be a column in it returns or property purchases. They should then reveal, what percentage of various caste groups buy property; pay tax.If incomes are not in proportion to their population, then govt will bridge the difference, or rob from the other groups and pay Paul.
It is disgusting.
