Reservation a Curse for the Country
by kishore raval on Jun 04, 2007 03:42 PM

Since independance India as a country is providing reservation of 27% to SC and ST classes and inspite of that what is the status? All political parties are supporting reservation since it is vote bank for power.
I feel that reservation if it cannot be removed due to constituion etc at least make it applicable to really needy people who are living below poverty line and not on caste system. Today more than 50% in Govt jobs ( ITO,Commissioners,Professors in Govt colleges) are from SC/ST and their next generations also get the benefit of lower marks and prefernce in jobs. Instead of that reservation should be on income basis for all castes without any bar which will include banaias, Brahmins etc and by that methos there will be justice in removing poverty.
