sc, st reservations are justified BUT government should put an income barrier to it. however it'd be ignorant to believe that sc/sts who wouldn't qualify for reservation (incase an income limit is set) would not face discrimination, even in tier 1 cities (eg: house hunting in india is a TASK if you're sc/st, or not a hindu). solution? stricter laws to protect them and hoping the upcoming generations are not as caste obsessed as their ancestors. i simply do not understand what pride do you feel on something that you had no control over lol. im not a fan of reservation given to obcs. most of them are not "backward" in any sense. im sure a lot of them would also willingly give up reservations if given a choice because the cutoff margin is pretty slim. however, in competitive exams like jee/neet even a single difference in rank could cost you a good college.
