Quota for minorities being considered

With reference to the article from The Hindu 'Quota for minorities being considered' stating that "Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil said on Wednesday the government was exploring the possibility of providing reservation to minorities in educational institutions and jobs."
My question is that is the government actually solving the problem by providing correct solution to the problems of minorities?
My observation is that this way the government is making another mistake, creating another divide between the reserved ones: 'the elite reserved' and 'the ordinary (or say needy) reserved'. The elite reserved are the ones who are financially good and then even do not need any reservations. They educate their children in good schools, premier colleges and then take benefit of reservation to get cream of the reserved jobs. This keeps on happening for ages. Now what happens is that their needy counterparts remain needy as always. This means by no way their casts can be included in the non-backward classes, even if the reservation continue for ages.
If the government is serious about handing reservation as tool to the needy section, then they need to make the 'token' reservation. Once you have used your share of token you are no longer a backward or needy. Now you have got your engine running, so take care of it.
This will help enormously in providing the reservation to the really needy people. The policy takes care of making sure that the needy will get their share of opportunities.
