I m not against reservation or not in favor of reservation, I just want to make my dear citizens of India aware that the very term "reservation" that we are debating upon has been wrongly interpreted and its very purpose has been disoriented in a long run.
At a time when the constitution of India was being formed, our constituent assembly felt the need to incorporate reservation clause in the constitution for the people belonging to castes and groups placed at the lower level on the caste ladder. Everybody knows the condition of these castes in the society at that time. It was not a kind of toffee or chocolate used as a smoother for crying baby in a family or a lethal weapon that can be used to take a country on ransom for granting its genuine rights and requirements. However, the purpose of providing reservation to the above said people was completely different.
They wanted to make these class ensconced like others in a country that has just taken birth. Reservation as a tool was going to be used as a healer for the downtrodden castes that have been facing social and economic sections, atrocities and trauma even after the independence of India. In order to remove the stains from the fabric of traditionally rich India a reservation soup was used. No one has even envisaged that an attempt to abolish the caste system in India would further divide the country on other basis.
If the quota system had actually been used effectively fulfilling its purpose, we would have been w

I AM AGAINST RESERVATION IN THE PRESENT SCENARIO. WHEN RESERVATION WAS INTRODUCED IT WAS FOR A SHORTER PERIOD AND FOR LOWER CLASS. BUT NOW THE SCENE HAS CHANGED. THE PERSONS WHO HAVE GOT ADVANTAGE OF RESERVATION ARE STILL GETTING THE SAME FACILITIES FOR THEIR GRAND CHILDREN. THE ENTIRE FAMILY HAVE BECOME STALWARTS IN THE PRESENT SCENARIO. MOREOVER THE RESERVATION POLICY IS DIVIDING OUR SOCIETY. SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN RAJASHTHAN. HENCE FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THIS COUNTRY THE RESERVATION SHOULD BE ABOLISHED, ALL THE PARTY SHOULD HAVE GUTS TO PRESENT A BILL SCRACHING THE RESERVATION POLICY AT ONCE. JAI BHARAT.
Dear editor, Why do you ask such rediculous questions. You are the one who has spoiled and vitiated the atmosphere. Media has performed a role of a notorious agent. All good stories are twisted and then presented to the public. INSTIGATING PEOPLE IS THE MAIN JOB OF MEDIA. DO YOU HAVE COURAGE TO WRITE ANYTHING AGAINST RESERVATION POLICY OF OUR GOVERNMENT? CAN YOU PUT FACT BEFORE GOVERNMENT? DO YOU HAVE GUTS TO ARTICULATE REAL STORY? THEN STOP ASKING SUCH STUPID QUESTIONS.

Media's are the most currputed org. in india. If you have money media will capture all the photographs from your bathroom to bedroom. If not then ..........
What is the necessity to reserve extra quota for SC & ST. Are they poor or backward. This is totally wrong. This is the politics by our currupted politician. They have to think that without general vote are they win by only SC or ST. Govt. should withdraw quota. General people are suffering and facing suicide reguarly.
I am not against Reservation,but reservation should be given to the Poor people but not to a particular caste,they are so many people who are enjoying the system although they have sufficient money.The government should revise the whole system and see that poor people who cannot afford to study should be given the reservation.
If the governement wants to give the reservations then it should be on the monetary basis of the people and not on the basis of the caste and religion of the people since poor people exists in all religions and all castes.

It is matter of shame that the upper caste people are only against the reservation of recruiment.But there are so many reservation which are not known to them like social reservation.although we passed 60 years of independence still thei is casteism in society and I would like to say that specially is it not operated by the uppercaste people. after getting higher education why they are prefering the castebased marraige and giving the add.in matrimonial only bramhin bride groom is only required.They shoud go through rural area as BHARATIYA NOT AS INDIANS.suppose two students ,one is Dalit and another is bramhin passed the matriculation .If job is not available to them the dalit students cannot do any thing as the lowercaste stamp is with his fate ,finally he would be labour or docaits dueto social fruastration.But the door of temple ,business of grssory,hotels ,even sloon and beauty parloure is open for the bramhin boy. So unless and untill the society is reformed the reservation for SC/ST SHOULD CONTINUED. FROM Jagatananda Naik Talher orissa

You people are shameless in asking more reservations or continuing this system,when all the facilities are given to u people like free education,good institutions,good govt jobs etc., still u r nowhere competant with the general people.Reservations should be based on the condition of life a person is having not the present system what we are having, it should be more oriented towards the very poor section of the society.

Dear friend, As same a oriya i am trying to understand that why you are not begging. Now a days who is lower and who is higher. All are same. So what is the need of reservation. SC and ST are more proud than general. I can give you example. In my neighbour, his son passed 3rd class and I got 1st class. But he got a better college otherwise I had gone to my village to study in a lower college.
Since 60years the governments are implementing the reservation for SC / ST and B.Cs. Dr.Ambedkar had given these reservations to SC and STs to improve them and to abolish the social imbalances in our society. He stated very particularly "Implement the reservations for 10 years only, otherwise the social imbalances will raise once again". But, till today the Dalits are in same stage in education, as when they are in 1950. So, the governments are failed to implement them properly. That's not O.C.s mistake. Then why should OCs bear all these and how long? The governments are still continueing reservations to hold their power.
There are number of poor people in farward castes are suffering from these reservations. No government has helped them to get the good education in schools and colleges and they can not pay the huge amounts to Private Colleges. Who will think about them ?
In my opinion the correct ratio is 5% for Physically Challenged (becasue they need assistance) and 5% for Ex-Servicemen (because they are fighting for our country in borders) is enough. Remain all castes, religions and gender not required the reservations. All are equal before Law.
Poverty is a common problem for all castes and the castewise reservations are not correct. All we have to develop and then only our country will develop. Everybody should think about our country only, but today everyone is thinking for their caste or for their religion or for their region. We should feel the Nationlis

you are very shrewd and cunning brahmin. on one hand you are saying in last sixty yrs situation of sc and obc's has not improved. i quiet agree with you but at the same time you are saying poverty is a common problem. this is far from the truth. you are not suggesting any alternative of reservation too. i am against the reservation but for some other reasons. i think their should be something better then reservation so the real upliftment become possible. if poverty is a common probelm for all castes then how 80 percent IAS are brahmin. why backward castes are fit for 4th grade jobs only. you are suffering with jaativaad. may be flamming with it.
reservation is invantion of our leaders.they starts it for their personal interest.no party is in favour of poor people they have only their personal interests.reservation spoil young talent.
