10% RESERVATION FOR GENERAL CATEGORY FORWARD CASTES: BENEFITS BASED ON ECONOMIC STATUS

Hello World,

To put this in context, here's a short story:

--------------------------
KKK, being a dominant race supremacy proponent enforced social inequality for centuries and the slaves were subject to every form of violence: physical, social and economical starting from the old ages to modern times. The democratic setups of modern times grew conscious of systematic social inequality being installed and created constitutional amendments so every member of the society can get a fair chance. In came the affirmative action and policies for inclusiveness. Fast forward to today, descendants of KKK who are poor and suffering due to lack of benefits as those for the descendants of slaves, get a new policy change: benefits for poor descendants of supremacy proponents.


For centuries select segments of the population were denied equal educational and economic opportunities in the name of ethnicity and their social relevance was nullified with respect to religious scriptures. Those who denied those minorities their equal rights did that with confidence and the rest of the society watched. Fast forward to now, when the descendants of the discriminated got the support of affirmative action, the society expects benefits to be given purely based on economic status so everyone can benefit. 

So the logic is simple: When discrimination happens, nobody cares since it is the minority that gets hurt but when the constitution supports the compensation of the minorities, everyone cares about everyone getting equal share of compensation purely based on economic status. The exclusion of minorities did not mean inequality for centuries but now the inclusion of the majority is needed to call it inclusive and fair. Those who got beaten are still getting their wounds healed while those who gave the beating are waiting for their health supplement.

What goes around comes around.

All humans are equal.
