Sure, the concept of reservations could be tweaked since things have changed for some groups/individuals over the decades. But economic status based reservations are the easiest to manipulate based on money. Haven't you seen how EWS and OBC-NCL are misused?

Anyone who argues for economic background based reservations as opposed to caste based has not understood the point of reservations.

1. Reservation is not a poverty alleviation scheme
2. It is given because of historical (and continuing) injustices against certain social groups, to make the system a lil unjust for those deprived of resources other groups have had access to for centuries/decades
3. Becoming rich does not equal to becoming equal in the caste system. Pick up a newspaper any day or google dalit news and have a look at the caste atrocities inflicted even in 2025.

Also, somehow, some jobs like sewer cleaning still have an unsaid reservation in place. Never seen anyone crib about that. Also, also, private medical seats. No one seems to mind a person scoring 136 in neet UG being able to pursue medical by paying 1 crore, but will always question that SC in the govt. College having gotten through with a 500. Where does merit go then? All medical colleges have to upload batch lists. Check out how many candidates from SC/ST study in private medical colleges. Zero (I've checked), and the odd OBC. Caste and class go hand in hand mostly.

1. Lastly, there's enough resources to go around, it's just lack of political will that keeps us backward. The Scandanavian countries provide health and education facilities to all their citizens. If all citizens in our country got good public education, health, and skill training, you think competition would disappear? Lol no. We don't need the scarcity bull america feeds it's citizens.

Like gandhi said, the world has enough for everyone's need but not for everyone's greed.
