Gopal: I want to briefly explain the character of EWS reservation. It requires very careful reading to decipher 103rd amendment.

The clauses in 15(4) and 15(5) and socially and educationally backward classes (SCs and STs). If you're not a backward class, you're forward classes

What this means is that eligibility in 103rd amendment is forward classes. You have to examine their social and educational condition and it's only if they fall in 15(4) and (5) they would be eligible.
