WHY RESERVATION?

Reservation is the most complex point of discussion now days. The Indian constitution asked to use reservation for backward class for a good social change for a couple of decades and some years from freedom. This means, as country increases its strength ( overall ), the reservation facility should be decrease. But, today both increase. It is dangerous.

Only qualify and intellectual person should get admission in higher education. If this will not be followed, the higher education will become lower education. Ultimately there is no chance of social or any other development.

The political parties have nothing to do with real development of any backward class. They just want to strengthen their vote bank account. All such issues are just useless even for people or students of backward classes. An intellectual person, of backward or any other class, will not at all in need of any kind of reservation. ( one can find enough examples in society ) Of course, this issue has divided society and minds in two, General and Backward. This is hazardous. This may lead a social revolution.

Reservations and society

"Affirmative action, not reservations, app-ears to be the call of the day. However, our Parliament, in its wisdom, has decided in favour of quotas. In his work on affirmative action, Nathan Glazer, the pre-eminent sociologist of ethnicity and group and individual rights, argued that at a crucial juncture, a society faces both ways — in favour of group and in favour of individual rights."

Reservations: the shortcut to nowhere

"Great nations are built by political leaders providing a vision, moral leadership and role model for the young generation and an honesty of purpose. I was brought up with these ideas in a middle-class household in UP, which, following the call by Mahatma Gandhi, had given up their caste names and vowed to not use this affiliation for personal advancement. It was more than 40 years ago when my father could not recognise my name in the list of successful candidates for the All India Merit Scholarship for Public Schools, because I fancied my last name as Kumar, instead of my father’s, Prakash. So much did caste mean to me as a 12-year-old. What has happened to take us back more than four decades in this field? Why have we not remained true to the commitment of our constitutional fathers and to the values of the Mahatma and Nehru, who saw reservations as a short and transitory phenomenon, which would become redundant with a greater and more effective public delivery of education that would level the playing field?"

Big Question

Dear friend

Reservation has been a very sensitive issue in India;whatever the field may be.

If it affects education to such a great extent,what I personally feel is,a motivation to work and to prove oneself the best will vanish,as merit would no longer help. The demotivated youth may creat a situation for which we will neither be able to blame them,nor we will be able to cope-up with the same.

who is right is a big question, but this is what an ordinary common citizen views at once about the issue.

Thank you for giving me a space to express myself.
