    A dumb, useless system used in India for almost all [Govt] Jobs, Seats in Govt College etc. Reserves seats for People who were historically low castes.
    Similar to [quotas] in the USA, however its for fking 49.5% seats. Seats are divided as:
    SC: People who did cleaning of sewers. Some too rich, use this to get high posts in [govt] jobs and remain rich through it. Get 15% reserved seats. A billionaire can get reservation.
    ST: Many tribal people. System [exploited] by rich and not helping the poor. Get [7.5]% of reserved seats. Income dont matter.
    [OBC]: Socially backward classes in history. Have a income limit to [avail] benefits, same problems of misuse exist. [Get 27]% reserved seats.
    General Poor: A newly implemented [quota] for poor, parental income less than [Rupees] 800,000(which is big amount in India.).
    The more f
    king bad thing is that Reserved category candidate is first considered for seat allotment in General seats(on basis of merit) and if not selected, he/she can get the reserved seat.
    So basically if you are a general category candidate, you are completely screwed.
    [Reservations] for Physically Disabled also exist but they are very less. Reservations for Girls also exist in some places but dont create any problems for General Category candidates.
    Unfortunately, no political party supports removing or reducing it as it is a vote bank for them. They do violent protests if they fear reservation removal. They have partial [Autocracy] over Govt Jobs, Govt Colleges.

      1. To take the last of something when you dont really want it, usually just to [piss] someone off.
