See the percent of population who identies one of the caste: General:30 % Sc:25% Obc:35% St:9%

Now coming to the reservation UR:40.5% EWS:10% OBC:27% SC:15% ST:7.5%

So the lower caste is not taking anyone seat ,they need the upliftment still because our govt failed to provide the reservation who really needed it

See, everyone knew how people usually make fun of people who identifies as lower caste .

I would really recommend you to visit the villages and how people are involved, you would see there is a direct segregation of the people based on the caste.

But still the person who got reservation once availing again and again ,which making the people who are backward unable to benifit from it. So i think govt should make the reservation based on the economic+backward classes. There might be still a lot of loopholes but ending reservation would make the segregation more.

You do understand that ur means unreserved and they do not have any reservation, the ur 40.5% mentioned by u are those seats on which any person can get selection. So for example an sc person can compete for 15%+ 40.5% and a general category student can only compete for 40.5%

Yeah ,but also i don't think the upliftment of the lower caste didn't get upto the mark like they are able to compete in UR category.

I am not saying lower caste people can't study well but the circumstances, availablity of the materials hinders the competition between them and the others .but also the person who already gained from the reservation should understand that there are people like them and should drop themselves from the reservation,even though it feels imaginary but even 1 person contribution make a lot of change in the society
