"There was no caste system in primitive India. Slowly the varna system prevalent was misconstrued to be a caste system...
With the adoption of the Constitution, we again tried to move into a casteless society but in the name of social welfare to uplift the depressed and the backward classes, we again fell into the trap of caste system"-
#SupremeCourt judge Justice Pankaj Mithal in his judgment allowing sub-classification of SCs.

It is common understanding that what is conceded once to appease any class cannot be taken back. So are the benefits extended to the reserved category of persons under the constitution. Each concession once made, just goes on swelling like a raisin/balloon. This actually happened with the policy of reservation also : Justice Mithal.

Anyone who suggests another or a better way of helping the so-called depressed classes or the downtrodden or the marginalised persons of the society is immediately pounced upon as ‘Anti Dalit : Justice Pankaj Mithal.

Justice Mithal calls for a re-look on the reservation system and says other methods are needed to uplift the downtrodden among the SC/ST/OBC categories.
