BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Laws on reservations are the ones that have been made to provide things better for the ones who don't have enough money and resources to fulfill their educational and basic needs. The reason why we must respect them is because in some or the other way they are benefitting the people of our own country, those people who are underprivileged.

However with long debates, the policies have changed and in India there is 10% reservation for general's too. On the contrary, if you are worthy and intelligent enough, you wouldn't ever need reservations.

The three ways in which you can become more familiar with laws of reservation are

1) Reading about them and listening to debates from university professors.

2) Doing an analysis by yourself, of the fact that who got the reservation and who didn't and who needs it.

3) Better your understanding of the laws of reservation.
