What do you feel about reservations in jobs for low casts ?

Reservation is very important to the uplifting of the lower castes.But how long?Our Government keep uplifting them for the past 60 years.Have they succeeded.and if not why and how long they are going to do it .We all have to remember the quality of the jobs are at stake by reservation and quality is very important for a developing country.

Hello Mansha, I live in the USA, so I readily admit that I am not 'up to speed' on the issue of the 'Gujjar' issue. Though, if I am correct, this has much to do with the fairly recent official denunciation of the 'cast system', and the resulting socio-economic disparity that continues to exist??? Is that correct? I'm sure that all in your country knew that the demise of the cast system would bring with it great turmoil. Though, it seems to have been the right thing to do, at least from my 'outsider's' perspective. Though I believe it would be unrealistic to expect that it will take any less than two generations to erradicate the societal shadow of cast perceptions. What you have written in your post sounded like the USA equivalent of 'Affirmative Action'. Though, the referenced article seemed to focus more on the incident, rather than its causes. I would be interested in hearing your perspective of just what was meant by: "Their message was clear and their livelihood was on the line."
