Does upper caste society acknowledge the private reservations it has had for years?

As a person from an upper caste background may I ask you why you think the criteria for reservation should be economic when the bias is because of caste?
I know multiple friends of mine who have suffered innumerable abuse and indignities because of their caste and irrespective of their educational qualifications.
Ambedkar - the chap who wrote the constitution, was ill treated even after his Columbia degree and his PhD. Customers refused to sign him on and colleagues refused to even share the same room with him when he taught as a professor.
It is sad that even in this time and day when we see so much caste oppression the upper castes still continue to refuse to admit it.
By the way, I have never benefited from any reservation of any kind.
