in support of reservations

reservation in India: we support reservation policy because we preach for equality. There can be no equality of opportunity for all castes unless status of all castes become the same. And the status of all castes will not be the same unless the representation of all castes in governance and other institutions is appropriate(propotionate according to population). that is why, article 16-4 of the constitution says
''''''' Nothing in this article shall prevent the State from
making any provision for the reservation of appointments
or posts in favor of any backward class of citizens which,
in the opinion of the State, is not adequately represented
in the services under the State.''''''
