Subject: Not genuine at heart
If only reservations were implemented with a genuine heart, they would have long outlived their relevance by now. The problem is that Politics is now dominated with self-seeking persons, criminals, businessmen with black money etc. Coupled with this there is bad planning - no population control, no relation between industry and education, populist policies in preference to developmental schemes etc are all reasons. India is surviving as a democracy not because of our politicians, but because of our people who have great faith voting. We studied in our textbooks that the British practiced "divide and rule", our own politicians practice "divide and loot"!

Yours Sincerely,
