Reservation.. Where is it taking us??



The above conversation may seem to be a comic strip right now, but think a little. It is becoming a reality of today's India, the rising India..
Today, the news channels were overflowing with the news that the government has accepted to present the bill in its parliament session, according to which, the promotion in government sector jobs will also follow the reservation for scheduled castes employees.
Now whether the bill is passed or not, thats an all-together different prospect. But one thing is for sure. The country's future is doomed if the present situation goes on like this.
What kind of justice is that the person getting some 20000 rank in a qualifying exam is sitting with his head deep burried in his palms, helplessly watching a person with an added zero of 200000 rank get through. The star on the other person's shoulder, he was a SC quota person. Be it engineering, medical, law..
Everywhere, the situation is more or less same. First for getting into a better college, you face this. Then to get a government job, you face this. And now for promotion in your field, you again have to face this ghostly thing.

On one hand, you discourage casteisam. And on the other hand, you are putting caste above merit, talent, hard work and people themselves. I dont say I am opposed to encouraging the not so developed classes, but caste can never be criteria to decide a person's ability. I dont say dont help backward castes. But give them help in the form that it does not suppress other people,s rights. Give fee waivers to below poverty line students, provide them with books and materials, arrange up to the mark classes for them so that it boosts up knowledge in them. Who told you that they need reservation to achieve something in life, show them the path, destiny they will achieve.

Dont cripple them by providing them the walking sticks of reservation. Else no stick will be able to make our country stand tomorrow....

    1. See, we know the sort of things associated with reservation system. But the bill for reservation in government jobs was presented for the first time. Which made way for this article.
      On question of curbing the situation, it is very difficult unless the people benefited by reservation also oppose it. Or it can result in clashes between people of different categories..
