See, I do agree that these folks have to be helped, but giving them jobs over people who are more qualified then them???
If you're talking about the marks scored in examinations and degrees as 'qualifications' then, no there is no problem giving SC/ST people jobs over people who are more qualified than them.

Do you want me to show you a educated fool and an uneducated business tycoon ?

These people have to be helped but they shouldn't be given jobs and seats even though they are less-skilled.
How do you define "skill" ? If the competency of their work is any indicator then is it not obvious that the most incompetent Indians out there are running our government today ?

If the "seats by caste" theory was used in the army, realize what a disastor that would be.
Well, actually the SC/ST people are more fit and enduring than other castes. I guess they will only do better.

Seriously, ask what regiment the Brigadier belongs to.

I'd love to see somebody who opposes reservations to actually go out and work it out for the benefit of the oppressed.

Reality : Reservation is just one of the tools. Considering that many dalit kids are 'not allowed' to go to schools or even wear footwear in many a villages in India I think reservations for SC/STs ought to stay. I do not know about other states but here in TN education is free upto +2.
