Vivek Kaul writes “The era when the government created jobs is long gone. Of course, people still do not realise this and they demand a reservation in government jobs. And given this, a reservation of 16% even if it comes through is not going to help Marathas ( the latest demand for reservation)much on the jobs front.
The trouble is that if Marathas do manage to get a 16% reservation in jobs as well as education, other communities might want a reservation as well. The trouble is we can’t go beyond 100%.
