The Gujjar stir in Rajasthan, which is spilling over to Delhi, is entirely misguided. As you have correctly pointed out in your editorial (?Plumber?s job, anyone??, May 30), there is a need to look at jobs beyond low-level employment in the government sector. Also, it?s galling that nearly two decades after India?s economic liberalisation, reservation for government jobs is still a hotly debated issue. The Gujjars should demand better opportunities in education, particularly at the school level. This will help the community more than any reservation in the long run.
