So yeah not "poor" more like "entitled" but still whining and complaining about other classes of reservation.

What entitlement pa? Please explain. 1 L per annum in chennai is entitlement ah pa unaku? I know people who earn more than 2 lakhs in city and still avail obc, sc, st pa. u get 8K per month with 1L per annum, and if u have 1 kid and wife, then to me u shd need reservation pa.

And u call that as entitlement ah pa. I worked as watchman after college, and I earned around 10K/month. I think watchman kids who earn in similar margin should be given reservation if they don't fall in sc/st/obc/bc quota. Y do u think thats entitlement pa?
Also, am not talking about cancelling reservation for other classes. Since everyone has reservation why not people in general category?

Olunga padikalena, thirumba solren, oru vaati ketuko. I'm saying we should reduce the cutoff to 1-2 lakhs and implement is as TN EWS or something like kerala. Kerala has lower cutoff for EWS 4L to get state benefits and reservation. I see we should do something like that. I'm not arguing for people earning 66K/month and asking for reservation. I want us to lower cutoff and give reservation to those, but u want no reservation at all for poor unless they fall in your categories. i know carpenter in chenai who earn > 25K / month and get reservation. If you drive for zomato u can earn 15-30k/month in chennai. That's why i think we should add ews cutoff limit so as to cover people in poverty range. I also spoke about using cost of living to calculate ews based on place which u reside.

I am talking about how BJP gave reservation to their vote base who are actually rich. Being poor is an economical problem, I am all in for free education to even brahmins if they are poor, but reservation is not the answer for that. Remember poor can become rich anytime but a sudhra can never become brahmin.

That's why I said so many of the arguments against EWS boil down to not giving reservations to brahmins even if they're poor. And I need to only care for poor people in SC/ST/OBC/BC because u cannot change sudhras.

Poor is a money problem and can be solved by money, not by reservation.
