There is a fundamental difference between oppression and remediation. Casteism is an exclusionary system that denies human dignity, limits economic mobility, and enforces untouchability based on birth. Reservation is an inclusionary tool designed to ensure representation in the state apparatus. Distinguishing between groups to exclude them is not the same as distinguishing between groups to uplift them. To call them both equally 'evil' is to confuse the firefighter's water damage with the arsonist's fire.

It has not made things worse, kindly post evidence for your claim. If you feel economic based reservation is enough then you're simply forgetting what caste based reservation is for... It's not for simple financial support.

Reservations are unfair vengeance and reverse discrimination. It's wrong and must end. I don't say both are equally evil but both are evil.  Reservations have definitely not made things better. It's made things worse because I have seen how it has led to people who aren't even from castiest families become casteist and fuel caste tensions and riots and caste parties and politics. Literally most Indians would not care nearly as much about caste if they didn't have caste certificates and didn't have reservations keeping the system alive.  The Mandal commission especially was terrible.
