Creating a Level Playing Field
Students who are protesting against reservations for back ward classes in premier institutions like IITs/IIMs/AIIMs are mainly from metros, where they had seen only 'empowered' backward people as their neighbors or colleagues. this intolerence or narrow vison is fuelling their angst, they are not in grips with the real picture of rural and semi rural India. the rage of students is hardly making any effect in south india, barring bangalore. Moreover, people who make it to theses institutions will be the best pick among their communities. So, there wont be any kind of dilution of educational standards, as many fear. I still wonder why there is not a single protest against NRI reservations, which is a clear case of money over merit..but government should also build a fool-proof mechanism to asess the progress made by the sections of society,availing reservation.

if we need to progress, we need to stop differentiating people based on caste, creed or sex.
You are right in the sense that those protesters aren’t seeing the really poor. Nevertheless the issue of reservation is a complex one. As a nation India doesn't want mediocrity become rule of law. However at the same time India wants to uplift its downtrodden. May be a better approach would be elevate them to a level where they can compete with the rich and creamy in a peer level. This is where the significance of social reformers like Narayana Guru comes into picture. Rather than fighting with Brahmanyam to get the fair share of equality in Pooja, he transformed his society by entitling them with the rights to do Pooja. This debunked the myth that only Brahmins can do Pooja. Moreover, it made his society more knowledgeable and responsible. The society couldn’t whine any more because it then had the power to learn and ability to practice. If we go by this example, it shouldn’t be by bringing down the standards that the poor should be uplifted, but by elevating their standard so that they can compete.
