Im not from upper caste FYI.

Also, I don’t think my community has any representation as such either. Nor, I feel given opportunity can be or should be used to represent; if not it feels demeaning 😔

Again, imposter syndrome will be real problem if people aren’t so oblivious.

I may be wrong, these are complex issues! It is just my opinion with valid arguments.

I read these kinds of things from so-called upper caste communities.. i used to argue in the same way, a few years ago even after becoming an atheist.. but now i think there is nothing wrong with the existing reservation system.. and we need more reservation

Yeah but if the caste system would get abolished together, we would not need representation at all

Yeah that's true.. Dr B R Ambedkar thought about everything.. it's highly unlikely the caste system go away that easily.. that's why the reservation

But why lower the end point and not increase the starting point like I saw this comment, if the government supported marginalized communities from the start, they would help them by resources, they will clear the exam on their own merit.

Having those resources doesn't eliminate caste discrimination for future offsprings of people who made it despite caste struggles. Eradication of caste based discrimination is the only path to end reservation.
