Those independent India Gods who created the sacred fundamentals of this so called "Reservation" died their own death. But they left this immortal legacy behind for all of us to bear forever.
The concept was to have a fair society. Those who belonged to the beleaguered class required some support for upliftment and thus reservation came handy. But it's hard to believe that no-one thought for a clause to say when it ends.
An SC/ST when given a goverment job has already moved to a respectable class. So why on earth his/her offspring still needs a reservation. This open ended mess now makes sure that it's here to continue even after 60 years of independence.
Also, those SC/ST who have moved to upper class has a strong hold on exploiting the reservation and the benefit never reaches those who are still poor. Also the huge population that lives in poverty but doesn't have the privilege of being called SC/ST has no way out.
And then we have our dear politicians who want further reservation. OBC, DDC, PPC ... instead of resolving the mess, mess it further. Their vote bank should be alive and kicking.
No wonder everyone wants a share in the pie. May be in an ugly way. But that calls for an introspection and not a patchwork or mere verbatim. It's time to rise and kill the perpetual muddle. Reservation on caste should end, caste system should end, politics abetting it should end. And we all should support those who don't have any fair source of income in an earnest way.
