Sunday's violence in East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh by Kapus demanding reservation is a farce that is played out in Indian politics regularly. Over the past few years, with help from opportunistic politicians, the drama has played out twice in Rajasthan, once in Gujarat and is now ready to explode in Andhra Pradesh. Only a miracle is keeping western UP and Haryana, where Jats are awaiting OBC status, from burning in the quota conflagration.
