The caste factor: Show me the numbers

The caste factor: Show me the numbers

Something in a rediff article that I actually agree with. Of course, I have no interest in actually doing any research for numbers, like the author of the article seems to have done. But the point remains the same, government help to people should not discriminate on the basis of ANYthing other than need. It's like the beggars at the traffic lights - do any of the people who actually give alms go into the background of these beggars? Come to think of it, is there supposed to be a reservation policy for beggars? 60% of the alms that you give should go to OBCs or something like that?
