It shows that India's population consists of 32% OBCs and that 23.5% of seats in universities are occupied by OBCs. Mr.Arjun Singh was not aware of this. Does this affect your analysis??<BR/><BR/>Also read Mr.Pratap Bhanu Mehta's open letter fo resignation from Knowledge Comission where he outlines a number of reasons why he thinks that the present reservation policy is flawed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-1148360595581607022006-05-23T10:33:00.000+05:302006-05-23T10:33:00.000+05:30And yes, we don't wish to sound pompous but we fee...And yes, we don't wish to sound pompous but we feel a little vidicated.

The intruder says, ok, let's strike a compromise, could we just do this and this? And while we are at it may be if you could just bend over a little bit more?

What hppens is depending on your background you are given some additional points. So if you are OBC, you will get 5 points, if you are OBC girl you will get 10. But, and here is the crucial point, no one gets more than 10 or 15-not sure. Has worked fine with OBC % in JNU close to 23%.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
