Reservations in Educational Institutions

The reservation issue continues to remain the main headlines in India , with the government doing nothing about it substantially. Agreed, that the OBC , SC/ST students are meritorious , they can compete with the forward caste , but then just on the basis that the the OBC's, SC/ST''s are underprevilaged do not have sufficient income cannot be the reason for reserving some amount of seats to them.This view point is absurd and incorrect.Arent there lower income groups among the forward caste.What will the governemnt do for them?.
The point is abolish the reservation system in India. It hasn't worked for 50 years and will not do so for another 50 years.My opinion is to identify people who are meritorious in school , especially people from lower income group,provide them the monetary support ,if needed, let there talent take them to higher learning.
If government is serious it has to sponsor more no of meritorious students than say a handful of them.I agree it was not possible before because of lack of fund ,but now where India is growing at rapid pace, the funding should not be a problem,with India 's foriegn exchange reserves touching a new high.

The minsiters should stop playing poliitics and act with all seriousness.
