Its not time yet to yank reservation out of India. Thousands of years of oppression doesn't get mended with a paltry 60 year period of affirmative action. I belong to the so called forward castes in India and I feel that reservation still holds water in India.
Keep it going but control the abuse of the policies. We still owe it to a large segment of the Indian populace. Their upliftment using these quotas will only benefit the future generations. I do agree that there has to be less of a casteist approach and more of an economic approach, but eliminating the casteist approach in entirety will be wrong since the fact is that the majority of the downtrodden do belong to the classified backward castes.
I hope for a day when the casteism divide is eliminated in the Indian society, probably an idealistic wish, but could happen.
I totally agree with each and every thing in this article. Why there is no reservation in politics. If politicans want reservation, then there should be a rule that all the politicians will be treated by doctors who used the reservation quota for their education and also the only those pilots who came from reservation quota will fly the planes carrying the politicians. Can they do this?
The major impact will be on the campus recruitment at these premier institute. If quota comes into place, over a period of time, the quality of output will be diluted which in near future is going to affect the campus recruitment in terms of no of opportunities as well as the package. Talking in terms of Medical Institutions , its the life of millions which will be put at risk if you don't have good docotors around. God bless the future generation of this country.
I completly agree with you in your thoughts. Govt doesn\'t care even students die asking not to have the reservations in educational system. Not that I am against the people with reservations but brilliant people has to have their mark in the society. I appreciate you taking the initiation and writing a column about this.
Very true and the article covers all evil things that can happen..one more thing is to look at the brain drain that will start with intelligent people moving to US and other countries..thereby severely affecting and hampering a prosperous India's future.
Why dont you invest so much intelligence and your valuable time in doing something productive rather than writing such bullshit articles.
The point is that we never required British to divide us, we ourselves want division of our society.
Last but not least what is point comparing some vague situations with reservations. The reservations are only for educational purposes and not for any other sector.
It means simply you are saying,low category people be on that level means sweeper son sweeper,barber son barber,laundry man son laundry man,farmer son farmer,that means the mostly economically settled high caste people covering 15% of india will occupy the higher position like engineer son engineer,doctor son doctor,lawyer son lawyer.wow wow wow
