I was talking with two Indian co-workers talking about college, and one of them mentioned affirmative action. I quized them about this, and it turns out that in this case it is the practice reserving a certain number of slots for lower castes.

They also mentioned the backlash that occurred when this went into force and the occaissional pretender who wasn't really from that caste.
