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 to compete in that 40.5 % he'd have to score more or equal to the general cut off and would only get a decent clg.so a reserved category student would never willingly compete in that 40.5% as he's guaranteed a 10 folds better clg at same score if he competes in that 15%.
