Amit i really feel that a movement that aims to demand a lower status by a community, shows the real picture of the indian society.
Though people have the incentive of getting various sops by getting a S/C status. But then a violent protest where hundreds of people loose their lives is definately not a desirable state.
Definately the leaders try to derive benefits using the sentiments of the people.
