One of the major issue in the Indian news right now is access to education (albeit it is only one aspect of preferences). In fact, we should be happy that in India people want to be educated. So the government and the University Commission should NOT be restrictive on the expansion of educational institutions. Such an approach will help the students of all castes and at the same time create jobs for the teachers and adminstrators etc.. At higher levels of instructions, university education could even be a foreign currency earner for the country - as it is for many countries across the globe.
So perhaps educated Indians (of all castes) should campaign for expansive and progressive programs (to grow the pie) instead of fighting over how to "divide the pie".
