Reservation Issue

It pains to see the educated back-bone of our country protesting in the streets for their 'birth right'. Yes! I feel 'Opportunity for the deserving' is one's birth-right. To add salt to the wounds, the SC has passed out a stern order. Most of the students who are protesting are from middle class whose parents would have sweated-out to provide them with the education their children deserve.
I really wish some 'high-profile' citizen comes forward and voice their opinion. By high-profile citizen, I do not mean a politician. Remember when there was a 'worm' in some chocolate, the company brought in Amithab Bachan in their
advertisements; Coke/Pepsi brought in Film stars! Govinda came forward for Salmaan. Aamir for Narmada Project! Why is no one coming forward for the Reservation issue? I really wish atleast one high-profile person comes forward and speaks their mind. I was surprised to see Navjoth Sidhu voice his opinion.
There should be no reservation in 'Professional Fields'. Reservation can be in 'Back-office' operations and only to the economically backward citizens, if possible, reservation should be based only on 'Commitment'.
