Not just family name but also by religion.
For some reason, Muslims are considered as OBC (Other Backward Classes) and are eligible for reservations but if you're born a Christian and you're not Latin Catholic or Roman Catholic, you don't get anything. You are stuck with General category.
The most retarded thing is Latin Catholicism and Roman Catholicism is treated as castes in India. When did Christianity have the caste system? When did Islam have a caste system? Only Hinduism had a caste system.
The second largest religion followed in India is Islam. Latin and Roman Catholics are some of the biggest denominations of Christianity in the world. Under what basis are they considering them as OBC in India? It makes no sense.
The caste system is the reason why our government is so corrupt. Because of these so called "reservations", people who are unfit to serve in government are the ones in it. A true death of meritocracy. The caste system is such a mess that even the Supreme Court Of India said that it was the curse of the country. I agree. People don't wanna give up the benefits they get from reservations.
The whole system is a mess.
