Why is this downvoted? Affirmative action carried out on caste basis without consideration about economic state of candidate is a real problem in India. It even harms genuine candidates even from reserved categories. But it is not fixed due to political reasons. The "upper caste people are successful because they are wealthy" meme needs to die. Many upper caste people are poor as well.. It also doesn't explain why Tamil Brahmins (an upper caste) are seen more successful educationally despite being much less in number than North Indian Baniyas (Also an upper caste).
