Reservation Games

With he summer in India getting to its peak somehow the entire reservation controversy is dying down. the government is also trying to come up with other alternative to save its face by introducing more seats in the premier institutes or by announcing 5-10% quota for the backward section of the upper caste.

By this the government is just trying to wash its hands from the entire situation. for the last 6 decades various Indian governments have failed miserably to bring the backward section of the country to the mainstream society and the entire benefit of the reservation has been grabbed by the elite few and their children.

Perhaps the government does not even try to bring these people to the mainstream society, especially the congress government, as it has found out that the more the people get educated and have economic freedom the more they drift away from congress ( in the last 6 decades of India's freedom Congress has ruled the country for over 45 years).

so instead of reducing the quota over the years the government instead kept on increasing the quota to keep the backward caste votes to itself. otherwise how it can ever make sense that the backward caste child who does not even go to a school would ever want to complete his post graduation.

The ones who do take advantage of the reservations are the selected few elite IAS, IPS, Politicians etc kids who study in the best of schools and yet want reservation for their graduations and post graduations.

One other questions that also comes up in this entire issue is that how many times a state will help a child to stand up on his own. A SC/ST/OBC child get reservation at school, graduation, Post graduation and government jobs. (and now they are even talking of reservation in private sector).

just to gather few votes the politicians are actually playing with the future of entire generation of kids who dont belong to the reserved category. And not just that they are also playing with the contry's best talents. if the proposed 27.5% reservation for the OBC category do go through then the actuall reservation will not just be 49.5% (15% for SC, 7% for ST) but instead it will be somewhere around 60-65%. What people are not counting are reservation for Minorities in states like Kerela, Andhra, UP, St'. Stephen's college and Jesus and mary college. Reservation for women in Delhi university's South campus, Madhya predesh, Reservation for physically handicapped and army personalle quota and various other quota like physically challenged, North eastern quota.

I also feel terrible disgusted by the way the students union in various Universities of India has behaved. No one from JNU complained because it is ruled by left Parties which also want reservation to gather backward caste votes as most ogf them are workers. Delhi univerity Students Union never agitated as it is ruled by the tudents wing of the Congress. Infact personally knowing the president of the DUSU, Ragini Nayak, for over 6 years i can safely say that she is only supporting the entire reservation controversy to gather few brownie points in her party so that she can climb one more stairs of the ladder of success. She dosent care a bit for the students who voted for her and brought her to power infact all that she cares is one more post in her party.

Sad it is but this is the reality. brave doctors are fighting a lonely battle. Fortunatly or Unfortunatly i feel that the proposed increase in reservation will go throughand soon after that reservation in the private sector will also be passed. Congress with this politically correct master stroke might come to power once again but the people who makes this country great will certainly loose out in this reservation game
