- If you benefited from reservations, your children should not get the same benefit
- Reduce reservation to 10% from the present 50%
- No reservation in government jobs AND education. Has to be only one of the two.
- Have reservation only for Dalits. Scrap OBC reservation, which is currently benefiting only powerful castes like Yadavs, Jats and Gujjars.
"Affirmative action was initially conceived as a means to rectify historical injustices and promote diversity. However, over time, it has deviated from its original intent, leading to a system that often favours privileged students rather than addressing systemic inequalities. ...
India’s reservation policy should be periodically evaluated and reformed to ensure it remains effective and equitable. There is a need to address the concerns raised by critics while ensuring that the policy continues to uplift marginalised communities. Transparency, fairness, and meritocracy should be central to any reservation system.
...Rather than relying solely on race or caste-based preferences, comprehensive approaches should be adopted considering multiple dimensions of disadvantage, including socioeconomic factors and educational opportunities. This will enable a more nuanced and effective approach to promoting diversity and social justice."

General category are a minority and they dont have political power. Majority of the leading politicians including modi and many state cms are themselves from obc community so they wont want to remove the reservation.
