Great article. Puts the deal scene in perspective. If the position since the beginning was to be seriously for preserving the test option, there would be no agreement in the first place. I think that's where the Vajpayee govt. stalled but Manmohan decided to take a chance, hoping for things turn in their favor. The only piece of strategic initiative that UPA pursued with any degree of seriousness, too has floundered. I feel for Manmohan sometimes.
Aside, Duryodhan singh will be back in few days. Reservation for OBCs is a fait accompli. The numbers game favors pro-reservationists. And this reservation will never be repealed, so whatever is done will stay forever, or go only in one direction- upwards that is.

Can someone explain the 'creamy layer' to one who has been out of India for many a decade.
TallIndian,
It means any OBC who is well-off, and not disadvantaged. Basically, any such OBC does not need any reservation.
