Jats you do not deserve reservation, just like no other community in India does. If not for political expediency, the concept carries no advantage. In fact it keeps the caste identities, the bane of Indian society, alive and kicking well into the second decade of the present century.
Caste based job reservation has become too big an element of politics in India. The issue is politically so sensitive that just an off hand remark by RSS chief was enough to decimate BJP's hopes in Bihar assembly elections. So nobody dares to touch the issue at the practical level. I have seen three generations of elite dalit families reaping reservation benefits to rise on the socio-economic ladder. On the other hand, I am surrounded by poor educated dalit young people who haven't benefited from reservation in any way. The solution can be: Let reservation be a first generation benefit, i.e., the children of a reservation beneficiary will not be eligible for the scheme. When a dalit gets a job on reservation, he/she is supposed to bring up his children in a way that they can compete against the best. It will help in spreading the reservation benefits horizontally rather than the vertical compilation of benefits in the already rich dalit families. Unfortunately it so far has been the trend. Job reservation is supposed to provide more and more people with basic amenities of life rather than some particular families reaping the benefits on account of the already existing benefits.
