reservation to Dalit Christions ?
by Dhammaprakash P Wankhade on Feb 11, 2005 09:21 PM

In India a large portion of society was deprived of basic human rights including formal education by so-called higher castes from thousands of year. This section of society became more and more weaker by the time. Now to compensate loss made and to bring them equal to other section reservation was/is given.
Backwardness and poverty are like disease of our society and is not limited to any religion. If the disease is not within the boundaries of religion, how can medicine (reservation) be limited to any particular religion? So reservation should not be limited to any particular religion and should be given to all those who were suppressed by the society inhumanly and who are backward.
Reservation to weaker represents humanity at its best. At the same time person-taking reservations should keep the things in mind that the facility they are getting are with sacrifices of many suitable candidates from those who are not having reservation.
The people who are enjoying reservation should contribute for upliftment of their community. It doesnt mean that they should renounce and serve the society but at least they should keep in mind that whatever they have got from the society, in return they should give something especially for backswords.
