Flaws of current reservation system are well known. To my view following are the most glaring flaws of it -

1. Reservation benefit to economically stronger section of specified castes.
2. Multiple benefit of reservation in life-time.
3. Generational benefit of reservation to same family.
4. Exclusion of Economically Weaker Section (EWS)
5. Omission of several factors on which upliftment is dependent eg parents education, family economic scenario, place of residence and schooling etc.

Solution

As suggested by Negi ji, i would prefer to bring a new Reservation Policy with following modalities.

1. It is based on Multiple Indices eg Parent education, family monthly income, place of schooling and residence etc. Other indices/factors may be explored and fixed as per outcome of wide public consultation.
2. Once, a family got the reservation benefit, its descendants will not be eligible for availing reservation benefits. This is to provide an opportunity to each backward family to come in mainstream of society, however the descendant of that person who availed reservation benefit will not qualify for availing reservation benefits in future.
3. One person, must be allowed, only once in life time to avail the benefit of reservation. ie. if the person has availed the reservation benefit in getting the admission (say in IIT) then he will not be eligible for taking reservation in employment. (The point may be further refined with public consultation)
4. Reservation quota is to be fixed at 40 % maximum.

Earlier, might be some of above suggestions would have difficult to implement as keeping the track of one's life-cycle is quite difficult. However, with advent of unique ID (Aadhaar) it will become easier to keep track of all relevant facts eg if the particular person has availed the reservation benefit or not..or whether he is eligible or not etc..

So let us gun for new Reservation Policy. As far as abolition is concerned, it is unethical, prejudiced and selfish to voice for complete repeal . Not only it will be unethical on part of society but it would have the potential to suppress lower strata of society in the world of consumerism, capitalism and high inflation. It will give rise to agony among those who are really suppressed and have no instrument by government to move ahead in the ladder.
