Aam,
This guy Niden, did not know he was a Sindhi Hindu,has hijacked this thread by making vile and racist comments against Urdu-speakers. The point is that some Muslim biradaris** are already on** the Other Backward classes list. As I have already said, the Muslim biradari system is a lot weaker then the Hindu ( I include Sikhs in this category) jati system. Why give quota to one group, and deny it to others.
Whats really funny, is the Hindu section of my caste is now demanding the OBC reservations, despite wearing the janeo and claiming to be Brahmins. So its not just the Muslims, but even supposedly upper caste Hindus are now calling themselves backwards.
The system put up by the Indian constitution is defective, reinforces caste and biradari divisions. What you need is a system that looks at the economic situation of the individual, and caste can be a factor, when considering quota.
