Hi!
I'd like to look at 2 aspects here.
one. in haryana, Jats are abt 25% of the population. and 9% of the government jobs. education standards are abysimal.
two. in '79 and again in '90, the Jats (and their leaders) refused to be included for reservation, despite being in a (political)position to do so. by 99 however, the need was being felt.
while getting reservation, the social standing suffers. however, the additional jobs would be very welcome.
its a difficult call, but i do think that overall, it is needed for now.
what do the others think ??
regards
nitin
