SC/ST Reservations.
by zeenacooper on Jun 05, 2007 09:45 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

SC/ST Reservations is a sure shot way to split our country on the basis of caste. Throughout history, inspite of being one of the world's most intelligent people, we have always been ruled and exploited because the whole world knows,and in today's scenario especially our neighbours that we are the biggest bigots and fools, when it comes to our caste system.Time and again they have defeated and dominated us , created unrest and upheavel within the country by using this evil.I personally request all the intelligensia of modern India lets use our brains for once stop dividing our motherland on the basis of caste. If we must adopt reservations let it be on the basis of economic status of the family.
I have met so many SC/ST individuals who have told me that they agree with me because SC/ST has become a weapon in the hands of the politicians and people who inreality dont require the benefits. The true deservers (the poor) of reservations are exploited by the rich folk even within the SC/ST group, and the benefits never reach those who truly need it.We dont need reservation on the basis of caste. What we need is to utilise our efforts to ensure that every Indian has an equal opportunity to grow. Each drop is of equal importance to form an ocean and so equal oppotunity to all should be our motto.

It is wrong notion that there exists rich SC/ST group. There may be a very small section of these category. But, lets us find out how many are industrialists, how many are there in news, media etc. How many are occupying group A posts in Government. How many are there in sports and other fields etc. There are in fact none or negligible. Let them dominate each and every field then stop reservation. In our country sound people are harassing lame and still they want a compition between them and lame. What a rubbish preposition. Well to do persons in this country need to guide ther siblings in such a way that they will not carry the cultural bondage dominated by pernicious practious of castism. How such people will rule this country in futre is self explanatory by their attitude.
