From this perspective (2), those who receive this
benefit — the “reserved category” — are deviant exceptions who fall outside the
normal or ‘general category’ of casteless citizens which constitutes the
nation. It is this casteless nation that gives reservation to certain castes to
compensate for the “historical wrongs” done to them in the latest (3) past, and to help them transcend (4) their backwardness. Only
when reservation is understood in this way we can make sense of objections such
as: How long will reservations continue? Why is caste and not economic need the
criterion (5) ? And of forms of protest,
such as a symbolic polishing of shoes and sweeping of streets by youth wearing
stethoscopes or lab coats that reservation provokes from the upper castes.
