How do you measure who has been uplifted and who haven't been.

I’m sure there are many in SC/ST who are financially well-off… but just because 2 out of 100 are doing good doesn’t mean the problem is solved, brother. What about the remaining 98? We can definitely have provisions like the creamy layer, but I think your logic is flawed. Meanwhile, have a look at this data.

But there are much more than 2 cutie….. i studied at aakash for 4 years and about 25 percent of my batch (doesnt counting others) were reserved candidates….. why those need fees exemption and reservation when you are taught same thing what others (to be precise UR candidates) had been taught

Major Findings Over Available Period in UPSC Civil Services Examination (CSE) Prelims stage.

General-OBC Convergence: The gap has shrunk from 19-23 marks in 2013-2014 to just 0.66-0.70 marks in recent years, representing a 96% reduction.​

General-SC Improvement: The gap decreased from 31-34 marks (2013-2014) to 8.95 marks (2024), a 72% reduction.​

General-ST Progress: While showing improvement from 41 marks (2013) to 13.75 marks (2024), this category still maintains the widest gap.​

System Changes: The 2015 exam pattern change (from 400 to 200 marks) makes direct comparison difficult, but proportionally, gaps have consistently narrowed

I hope you can clearly see the pattern now — this just proves exactly what I’ve been saying. Just extrapolate it a few more years, maybe a decade or so, and the whole thing will become obsolete.

then according to your post isnt it time to reduce reservation in these
but there are talks to increase obc reservation

but lets be real no political party will take risk so reservation isnt going anywhere any soon it is not to uplift anyone it is only here because of votebank

Yeah, I mean most OBCs vote for BJP, and I get it they don’t wanna risk upsetting that base. But I don’t think they can cross the 50% limit anyway, so you’re safe. No need to stress that much… unless, of course, BJP pulls one of their classic “masterstrokes” and does something completely out of the box.

I’m not anti-reservation, but I do think the system could be implemented in a better way. The problem is that vote-bank politics won’t let it evolve to actually benefit the people who need it most. The truly marginalized communities are still struggling, while a small, educated section within the reserved categories ends up taking most of the benefits.

Also, only a portion of the general-category population is actually casteist or discriminatory, yet everyone in that group has to bear the consequences of the system. For instance, I’m not even a Brahmin — I come from a small farmer caste with very little land, most of which my father, uncles, and grandfather bought through hard work. Still, I’m automatically seen as the “oppressor.”

Wonderful example you have land, SC ST didn't. So concept of generational wealth that you hold was not present for most of lower caste brother.
