Reservations...

Never cease to amaze me. They have done some good to the society. But the latest is sweet: "Seats will be reserved for the socially backward classes in IIMs! Wait a doggone moment. If a guy needs to enter an IIM, he has to be a graduate already. If he is already a graduate, doesn't he cease to be a "socially backward" guy by virtue of his degree? Or is it our government's humble opinion that a person from a backward caste, irrespective of being a graduate, will continue to be deemed to socially backward? Why is it that I am not able to believe that this will remove casteism from the society?
