In the survey of the reservation policy majority of the general category opposed it because that give concession to reserved category but they don’t think about support system that they have and poor don’t have.
Some people think that reservation should be made on the basis of the economy of the person but they have to think twice that this is not economic or anti poverty program its social program to end sin of the society.
One way to make these measures more acceptable and help people better understands the historic,social and cultural background behind reservation would be to educate children in schools about caste, ethnic,gender and regional diversities and the need for public policy interventions to make society more equal and fair.
