Even after 60 years of independence, well known communities such as Gujjar community in the State of Rajastan in India are fighting for the status of schedule tribes (ST) to reap the quota benefits! Generally, people fight to have a better status in society but here the gujjars claim they are schedule tribes! So many lives were lost seeking the quota benefits. It is high time that the government should curtail the quota benefits significantly so that it is not worthwhile for the communities to fight claiming that they are still tribals. It is reported that the union government had earlier rejected their demand since they are not fulfilling the requirements to be called as tribals.
As long as the caste system, and the unnecessary benefits bestowed on some communities come to an end, the country will remain undeveloped in a real sense of open, happy and ONE society.
