Express News Service BENGALURU: Justice HN Nagamohan Das, a retired High Court Judge of Karnataka, who headed the commission to look into the demand for increasing the reservation percentage for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, says there is a need to rewrite the entire reservation policy. It should be done scientifically after holding extensive discussions, he says, while talking to The New Sunday Express. Excerpts Has caste reservation benefited the beneficiaries? In Karnataka, 101 castes come under the Schedule Caste category, 53 under Schedule Tribe and 207 under Other Backward Class (OBC). Around 80 castes from all these categories are not reaping the benefits of the reservation system. This is because the strongest castes among them are getting the major share, while the poorest are left with nothing. There are many nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes that are not getting any benefits. This is the time to raise the voice for the voiceless and to reach the fruits of reservation to sectors that have not availed of its benefits.
