I want to ask one simple question to a Pro Reservationist.
There is one IAS's son, and the son of the driver of IAS. The Civil servent's son gets best condotions at home, best school and best private tuitions. The driver's son goes to Govt. school, fights poverty, and cant afoard Tuition. Still the latter gets 80% marks and the former 55% marks. In any instituiton of India, the IAS's son will ask for reservation, because he is from an "OPPRESSED" community, and say that the "UPPER CASTES", to which the driver belongs, have oppressed him. Is this justified.
For those who ont know about this, reservation when first introduced, was just for 10 years, and was supposed to go after that time. but only thing it has done is that it has been increased. Supporters of reservation on caste system say that it should be in proportion of the population. I ask them one thing. Do you think that since start, reservation ha not brought change in even 1% populaiton? If yes, why include that in the calculation. And if not, what makes you think that something which has failed for more than 50 years will not fail in future? and why shouldnt we search for better policies?
Yes, there is a need to remove disparity, which has grown wider in last few years. But that disparity didnot see tha caste of the person. Reservation should be for one who didnot have "OPPORTUNITY" and not for one who is from some caste which was suppressed centuries ago.
