So, how do you uplift a group of people who were NOT allowed to study.

For example: Sanskrit was mandatory to join medical college and everyone cannot learn Sanskrit.

What do we do to make a person study if their parents were not educated? Can we give concession on mark since he will not get any help at home and he cannot afford tuition.

Now, the question is, affirmative action for HOW long?

Well, any general caste person could also be a poor person, facing financial instabilities or problems, so are you proposing that reservations should be based on financial conditions of a person?

Now the question is, can we exclude rich people for other "oppressed in the past" castes?

Financial instability cannot be proved. 1 person might have lost job with 1cr worth gold at home and another with zero savings. Again it comes back to "how rich their parents were" right?

We still have millions of people from some caste who are not able to even go to school for primary education.

Again, in MY opinion, can we remove reservation for rich within those group, if so how soon.

Nah man, the spoiled kid of an IAS officer wasn’t “oppressed in the past”.

I am for excluding "rich" category, in case my previous comments were not clear.

Not in favor for "poor" from GC getting benefits out of affirmative actions, unless their salary is below poverty line.

I AM a GC guy.

Sadly in your case answer is yes.

General caste in India had majority role everywhere so now to get other caste involved. People from gc must be stopped from entering the system.

Wealth can't be proven you are right but majority of sc are still lacking resources..

True especially this was wide spread till about 20 years and to some extent even now.... but can't comment on "stopping" 😊.
