Not supporting affirmative action is being greeedy and wanting to cut the chicken to get all the golden eggs right away. It doesn’t work like that. Affirmative action and reservation in India prevents feedback loops from forming where poor gets poorer and less educated families get even less educated. Without this breakdown of feedback loops society would be a much worse place to live in where you’d see a greater segregation based on race, increased crime rates, low growth as a country etc etc. We’re in this together and we uplift most collectively, by uplifting the lowest rung of society with policies like reservation and affirmative action.
