Query: Social Network Analysis of the Caste-Based Reservation System in India   It has been argued that the reservation system in India, which has existed
since the time of Indian Independence (1947), has caused more havoc and
degradation than progress. This being a popular public opinion, has not been
based on any rigorous scientific study or research. In this paper, we revisit
the cultural divide among the Indian population from a purely social network
based approach. We study the distinct cluster formation that takes place in the
Indian community and find that this is largely due to the effect of caste-based
homophily. To study the impact of the reservation system, we define a new
parameter called social distance that represents the social capital associated
with each individual in the backward class. We study the changes that take
place with regard to the average social distance of a cluster when a new link
is established between the clusters which in its essence, is what the
reservation system is accomplishing. Our extensive study calls for the change
in the mindset of people in India. Although the animosity towards the
reservation system could be rooted due to historical influence, hero worship
and herd mentality, our results make it clear that the system has had a
considerable impact on the country's overall development by bridging the gap
between the conflicting social groups. The results also have been verified
using the survey and are discussed in the paper.
