Reservations [much said...little done!!!!!!!!]
Everybody around is talking about reservations.Thats so frustrating...they have their owns views,no one wants to know the real picture...all we want is to voice our opinions
!We dont care about the system,we dont have the time to think about the people for whom all this is being done...
And why should we even bother?"I'm not directly getting affected by it,not sure if that proposal will really get into the formal list..so why care?"Attitude of many people whom I've come across!
Isin't this the intention of many of us?
59 years into independence,56yrs of reservation systems--what have we achieved?Number of people below the poverty line are increasing day by day,deprieved are not interested in protesting!What can one do under such circumstances?Have we ever tried to find out who came in through the quota system n excelled?
Before we question the merits n demerits of reservation system I think that there are some simple beliefs which need to be addressed.
:Once the 27% is added to the existing 22.5%-it would leave few seats for the rest.
:Proof of undeserved reservation-dropout rate is considerably high among quota candidates.
:Most of these people have no acadermic bent of mind n so do not land in jobs.
:OBC denominations belong to the affluent sections-quotas make no sense.
There is absolutely no reason why professionals should come from the affluent sections--instead govt should push a good primary n secondary education for all,followed by affirmative action such as reservation.
I do not dispute the need for reservation however the task of identifying the privileged among those people should be completed before any future policy is announced.The reservation policy needs to be rationalised in the light of fact that many identified as backward have ceased to be backward in the last 15 years.
Whatever be it-one thing is clear:given the oppurtunity,many more can work their way through the educational pyramid n benefit from higher education.But the question is,"what kind of society we want to shape?"The question that one should be asking is not why reservations, but how do we go about sculpturing a just and equitable society.
Tried to say something that I felt like many of my friends.Not sure how far I've succeeded in doing so...
