Reservation!

The only thing reservation has done is to pull the nation backwards because we compromise on quality. Ideally a person who is brilliant but needs assistance shd be given help and in case the obcs need to be encouraged to syudy, this can be done to the basic levels of education. But later on it shd be merit based only, so also in jobs...Once you start respecting ability and capability, you really dont care about the persons religion, gender or caste..

True.....what we have seen happen in India is that slowly and steadily all the key jobs in various public sectors such as education, health etc. have gone to people from reservation quota, admittedly these people do hold degrees in those respective fields but they totally lack merit and do not possess expertise. Consequently, there has been a marked decline in quality and we know what goes on everywhere! :blink: :blink: This also has led to talented and intelligent people to seek jobs outside India because it is in abroad where merit is recognised for its worth!

These reservations made the real meritorious to seek a proper place where their merit is recognized and rewarded. And owing to the same reason a mass exodus to greener pastures is taking place like never before.

Initially when the reservations were put in place, it was probably with the idea of bringing up the lower castes at par with the higher castes . But later politicians esp the Congress party made it a weapon for their vote gains and made a complete mess of it. One can still help out the lower caste people who need help without it harming the development and thwarting those who are deserving, which is exactly what it is doing now..

That too and the reservation system also gave rise to another major evil, that is, corruption. The bureaucrats and politicians who now hold key places everywhere started demanding enormous amounts of money for the various jobs! A person from scheduled castes and tribes also now has to pay lakhs of rupees for even the lowliest of the jobs such as a peon or a fourth class worker in various government offices. So it really makes one wonder about the futility of having any reservations at all!

You may be remembering in the initial stages of introduction of Reservations, no doubt it was made with a good intention. But it was supposed to be for a limited period. As you said the Political parties used this Reservation Mantra to turn this scheme in to a Vote plundering Ploy.

@ Kalyani - I too feel that it is reservation that has given rise to indiscipline and corruption in thge system besides making the entire bureaucracy and our political system a sham that functions with no direction except the people in power making hay while the sun shines...I doubt if you can do anything about it now since there will be civil war if steps are taken to banish it.
@ Rambabu -It was for a limited period only but politicians learnt how powerful a weapon it is for their selfish use..

Now a time has come, the entire band of politicos' preelection campaigns are nothing but Reservations. I think sooner than later people will be promised to declare the entire nation as BCs

It is very difficult to say, I belong to general, but I have seen few reserved students who are extremely poorer have been able to rise and some of them have now doctors and professionals. What I dislike about reservation in promotion and advancement within organisation.

Economically backward should be helped in a suitable way. Helping is necessary. but not a permanent feature that lasts for generations.

In the preliminary stage of Constitution the makers Ambedkar and Aiyangar have opined for ten years of reservation and then review and then give it according to economical backwardnesses, but sadly due to pretty party politics it has been extended and now more and more castes are included. It should be according to ecnomically backwardness as in general also there are many persons who are living in abject poverty.

Now vote banks have been created. The government decisions are not based on logic, justice or equity. Vote bank is the only basis.

So, why not give financial help to the deserving students regardless of caste and religion, that semms a more sensible and fair thing to do rather on the way it is being done now.They are taking it t ridiculous heights now, asking for reservations even in private sectors..

The evils of Reservations are growing by day. I opine Financial support to an economically backward is the ideal way . Even this aid should be stopped once the candidate becomes self sufficient. It should not be extended to generations.

It is very constructive idea, but financial help should be done directly through institutions not through individuals, suppose one student was to be admitted to good college but cannot pay money then government can help them but not giving money to students but giving financial help to institutions for the student.

The Indian so called educated class has still not gained maturity where they will not hesitate to favour their own caste at the cost of the "lower" and weak castes. Who can certify this maturity? When literacy levels will cross 98% and the survival of enterprises will be on efficiency in a competitive environment , then reservations will automatically cease to matter. It is a matter of a few more decades perhaps.

This is an inherent problem with us Indians, even among the most educated and supposedly sophisticated classes who support and help only those who belong to their own caste. I have seen this to be true in government sector, private sector, everywhere. This 'maturity' is severely lacking in India, probably the reason why we lag so far behind others in spite of having talent and intelligent resources!

If reservations continue there never can be any better days to come, thats for sure, we keep diluting the quality of our owrk force and that's it !

Brain drain goes unabated. The fact that 30 % of NASA employees are Indians. The CEOs of MICROSOFT and NOKIA and a host of other world renowned organizations are Indians speak volumes about the evil effects f of Reservations..

Every year reservations should be decreased by a certain agreed to percent and there should be no reservations in promotions and to children of reservation beneficiaries. The more government goes out of running business, reservations will lose importance but there have been moves to have reservations in private sector.

Reservations are supposed to be temporary for a limited period. But the politicos used it as a tool for gathering votes.

What is more appalling is that any work which involves creation of something new with their own hands, eg, creating wooden stuff with own hands and other similar professions are looked down upon as inferior. This has led to children of traditional carpenters, potters etc. to move away from these professions and seek lesser-paying jobs in companies, even being peons is good enough for them. I feel this has led to killing the creativity and retarded economical growth.
