Reservation for dalits?

I have been rather ambivalent for a while when it comes to the 'reservation' question.
Reservation for dalit christians is an issue that has very string reactions even within the Christian community. by and large the Church Official seems to support it - that means the Bishops and Priests. The laity maintain that there is no 'caste' in Christianity, so if Daits want to become Christians, they should forgo their 'caste' privileges.

St. Stephen's College has made news and sturred up contriversy by putting in a 10 percent reservation [40 seats] for Dalit Christians and has lowered the all round 'cut off' marks to 60 percent, raising an outcry.

This clarified things for me and made me think different.
