There is no creamy layer in SC/ST
There is 8 L creamy layer in OBC

Though I agree with you that the bottom limit should be 2.5L below which you do not pay tax. Unfortunately what we want and what is politically possible are 2 different things
Actually I support economic criteria for all reservations SC, ST, OBC, General. Apart from that reservation for persons with disabilities.
Also the reservation should be for only 2 generations. If your father and you got the reservation then your children should not get them. If in 2 generations (approx 40-50 years) you are not able to uplift the family then there is no hope.
However, I am also aware that in the current political climate that is not possible. I don't live in a utopian world.
Ofcourse I want India to go in a direction which I feel is the best. So do you and @jbgt90 and all others. That is why we have elections every 5 years to choose the govt which will do that to the best of its ability. You obviously dont agree with me. @jbgt90 is a congressman and his Ideas are different from mine but we debate and discuss. I may disagree with him but I have never gone to a fight with him.
I don't fall under 2.5 lac category... definitely am a tax payer... am not against poor... but those who earn 8l per annum have decent life style... it is pointless to add them to the poor quota... this 10% quota unlikely to help the poor... SC / ST got reservation due to untouchabilty, discrimination... etc... don't talk like they are eating your share....
