we are again back to the constitution
by dinesh kumar on Apr 29, 2007 04:03 PM

yogesh,whatever is being done is mandated by the constitution.so,the remedy is to go by the constitution.members of parliament should be apprised of the matter by the affected people.the matter should be brought to their attention and facts presented.the mp will speak about it in parliament.once one mp speaks,the issue will gain momentum.every mp is not a narakasura.u just have to lead a delegation and present ur case.
what is the case?
reservation is removing the number of seats that are in open competition.either the number of seats have to be increased or some other economic criteria can be added.for urban candidates,how can the economic criteria be developed.a person whose father has a salary less than 1 lakh per year can be considered.if he is working in a private company,he can produce a salary certificate.what if he is running a shop or a business,who will verify that his statement is correct.if he is in the unorganized sector,say,working in some small unit,he can identify his place of work that he is barely making ends meet.in the villages,people with bpl cards can be adjusted.
all the upper caste people who prove that they cearn less than 1lakh per year can be entered into bc category.
doesnt that look like allowing ample space for fraudulent documents.
the method adopted was caste,the occupations and concentrations in terms of geography is identifiable.a field study will be able to collect the required facts.that is the broad scheme.it cant be as perfect as to ensure that not a single caste which is affluent is not added in the list.
the other way according to u is to remove reservation or equal reservation to every community.if your method is considered,wont it probably give reason to every caste to increase its numbers so that it can get a bigger representation.
a one time study(like the mandal commisssion) can be done and according to it reservations can be implemented.but the problem is the constitution does not mandate reservations for socially forward communities.
that brings us to the point.when a caste is able to convince the ncbc that it is socially backward,it can apply for inclusion in the list.
now,reservation was mandated in the constitution for 10 years.it was also mandated that the reservations for other backward communities should be done.that report was prepared in 1979.it was implemented in 1990 and was given full implementation in 1993.and only in 2007 is it being brought to cei s.now that it has started,it will have to end sometime as mandated by the constitution.if the situation becomes unbearable for the uppercastes,they will automatically start lobbying.even otherwise,the views will syart propagating that the position of the backwarsd classes has improved.
but the starting point is itself being blurred by all these protests,so much so,that things are getting polarised and reservation will continue for longer than it would have normally because of the protests.
