Reservation has helped bahujan samaaj to overcome the obstacles and some people are earning degrees and their living on that basis. But, here is the glitch. Although, before reservation came into picture all bahujan samaaj was backward and lagging behind brahmins and other white collar castes.

Reservation has helped other castes than marathas. With reservation, only marathas, especiall marathas from Konkan region staying in abject poverty are suffering the most. Brahmins and other white collar castes are in education business since long time, hence they don't have problems. Other castes, with the help of reservation are progressing. But we are going behind.

I'm the first person in my whole clan in my whole area to go abroad. I'm the first person to be engineer. To reach here, I had to struggle like anything.

I could see arround, brahmins were there at top in corporate and education fields since generations, so they don't face problems. Other people from bahujan samaaj are coming there. But, I don't find marathas there.

Can you please tell me why Marathas are not part of OBC community, which are considered bahujan samaaj?

If not, why are we not stating our stand firmly and get the same reservation?

In south, every other caste other than Brahmins get reservation, then why not in Maharashtra. Just because, marathas in western region have dominated politics, why should other poor marathas suffer?

Even in western maharashtra, education is not widespread in marathas. Just keep in mind, future is in knowledge economy and in education and  not in politics. If you don't pay attention to this, we will die with hunger and you will be responsible.

Keep aside unimportant issues and concentrate this issue which affects our future generation. Ask firmly to get included in OBC category or else see your sons and daughters cursing you for generations.

We are so away from education that we don't even know importance of reservation and this issue but when we will realise that it will be too late to act.
