Isn’t it time we moved all #reservations – a tool of state’s #affirmative action – in the direction of one based solely on #Economic Considerations? Let us call its beneficiaries @ECOWS – Economically Weaker Sections.

Economic criteria would take care of the non-creamy SCs, STs, OBCs and be fair to all others now clamouring for such protection: Gurjars, Marathas, Jats, Muslims..
