Reservation review

Sir, __ There are many classes in society which can no longer be called backward seeing their economic status but still they are taking advantage of reservation because they had been listed as backward by the framers of our old Constitutions. What the Government should do is to set up a politically independent commission to go through the entire social system of the country and see whether the lists given in the Constitution are valid today. Also this should be done periodically at the national and state-levels as a particular class, backward (economically) in one State, may not be such in another.
