The reason for bringing back 10% reservation for Economic weaker section. And how congress downplayed this entire thing till the current administration.
There are 50 Sulabh Shauchalayas (public toilets) in Delhi; all of them are cleaned and looked after by Brahmins. This very welcome public institution was started by a Brahmin.
There are five to six Brahmins manning each Shauchalaya.

Fifty per cent of rickshaw-pullers in Delhi’s Patel Nagar are Brahmins. Did you also know that most rickshaw pullers in Banaras are Brahmins? And the Kashmiri pandits whose problems reached deaf ears for decades 400,000 Brahmins of the Kashmir Valley.
The once respected Kashmiri Pandits, now live as refugees in their own country. Seventy five per cent of domestic help and cooks in Andhra Pradesh are Brahmins. 55 per cent of all Brahmins lived below the poverty line
In 2006 Karnataka finance minister in the State assembly said the per capita incomes of: Christians Rs 1,562, Vokkaligas Rs 914, Muslims Rs 794, Scheduled castes Rs 680, Scheduled Tribes Rs 577 and Brahmins Rs 537.
The same year In Tamil Nadu's Ranganathaswamy Temple, a priest's monthly salary is Rs 300 (Census Department studies) & a daily allowance of one measure of rice. The govt staff at the same temple receive Rs 2,500/month. This figure would have CAGR of not more than 10% now.
The tragedy of modern India is that the combined votes of Dalits/OBC and Muslims are enough for any government to be elected. INC quickly cashed in on it after Independence, but probably no other government than INC has gone so far in shamelessly dividing Indian society for votes
Every state will examples of a general category person living on par or below the poverty line. This is one other example of how congress never bothered to take decisions despite having data in hand.
