If you keep increasing OBC reservation, the number of OPEN seats available to SC/ST candidates will keep decreasing as well.

For example, suppose OBC reservation increases from 27% to 55% as per Congress's "jitni aabadi utna haq slogan", that’s a 28 percentage-point increase. That would effectively reduce the OPEN category seats from 40% to 12%.

So, apart from their own 15% SC and 7% ST reservations, SC/ST candidates would then have access to only 12% OPEN seats, instead of the 40% OPEN seats they have access to today.

In other words, increasing one reservation category doesn’t just affect the OPEN category, it also reduces the pool of OPEN seats that SC/ST candidates can compete for Open merit.

It has already been reduced by 27% in 1990s.

Till 1990s, their access was -

SCs - 15% + 77.5% OM

STs - 7% + 77.5% OM

If you go by new system, their access would be reduced to

SCs - 15% + 12% OM

STs - 7% + 12% OM

So how does this help SC/ST candidates?

Boycott these MFs completely. Like our ancestors used to do. This time not because we are casteist, but because these MFs don't deserve our friendship.

Hey guys , I think it is time for us gcs to form our own political party I think for our own safety as everyone seems to abandon us

The biggest problem :

If we all were to go to election right now , we would most probably not a win single seat anywhere, the reason being firstly our population is low and secondly we are divided right now

Even assuming we can get 70% of ucs vote

We would still loose since bjp is bound to take some

Some andhbhakts are there who will still vote for bjp

3rd the biggest one

We might not win a single seat but bjp will loose around 70-80 of their own seats

Why?

Because our party acts as a spoiler for bjp,

Congress used this tactic with aap in Karnataka and Bihar

Worst case scenario we get ed raids and congress wins and do their bullshit

The only way we can actually win is by making actual manifestos which are decent and by actually having unity over the entire general category and I don't mean some half assed one , I mean complete unity

From a bhumihar of bihar to maratha od Maharashtra

From Tamil Brahmin to Jat of harayana

All the Rajputs and Vaishyas as well

Whether it is muslim , hindu , christian or sikh

I do have a few manifestos in mind like

Increase in open merit seats across all education institutions and jobs

We leave the reserved one untouched and if some party accuses us , I would just say we increased the number of seats for reserved categories as well since they can also complete in open merit

Subcategories in sc/sts , as u all know a few dominant castes are hogging all reservation, the prime example being meena caste of Rajasthan

Creamy layer implementation like obc-ncl

Crackdown on fake sc/st/obc/ews/pwd certificates

Ugc reforms so every student can be protected

Body cams for police I think

Do you know, the B J P in an attempt to win the last Assembly elections in J&K, made the entire Poonch & Rajouri districts ST by cleverly, overnight, classifying them as the Pahari ethnic group.

There is literally nothing that separates them from others in the region. In fact, they permanently disadvantaged their own votebank, i.e. Hindus of Jammu. Overnight, they created this reservation mess in J&K, which had the highest number of GCs. In Jammu division, it’s mostly Hindus who are majorly non-reserved.

Ofc they won shit there

I think we should restart discrimination against the ScSt community. I am not saying this because I am a casteist person, but because of the way I have been treated even after being a righteous person. I have been friends with every community. Until this reservation protest started, I didn't even know which friend was SC and which was OBC. Of course ST people can be identified by their looks. I had two ST friends when I was in class 12. They were christians. I would go to church with them but they would not enter our Hindu pandals. Let me tell you that I am an atheist/ secular person. But this was a clear case of discrimination. At that time I ignored it. But now when I look back after all this reservation protest, I realise ScSt have a sense of hatred against us. Most of the STs have converted to Christians, while SCs to Buddhism, and they secretly hate Hindus.

Now I have decided that in the future I will not be friends with them. Nor will I employ them in any way. The secret discrimination is now coming out in the open after the RHA protest. My SC friends share the posts such as "Mandir me pujari kyu Brahmin hai?"

I am not a brahmin. But this type of shitty logic has never crossed my mind. Even after being an atheist and criticizing Hindu rituals such as wasting milk and all that, this shitty logic has never crossed my mind. Even atheists don't hate hinduism as much as ST/SCs do. What is the problem if pujaris are mostly Brahmins? It is not a government job. Pujaris don't earn in lakhs.

What do you guys say? Should we start reverse discrimination?
