Reserved against Reservations

A dumb SC/ST student whose father is an industrialist and has wealth enough to buy a college would get a post secondary education seat if his mark is poor say 50%, but if a brilliant person from the forward caste, say the son of a kurukkal a poor old brahmin, gets 90% he's still unsure whether he can study further. Thre goes the biggest paradox in democratic India. The paradox of "EQUALITY"..

The forward caste has been made the under previleged and the so called under previleged are so fortunate.. Welcome to Modern India where every political party makes such hue and cry abt abolition of caste system, but none have the balls to abolish reservation. Accepted that reservation was once necessary. But as is the case in this country a benefit once given can never be withdrawn and would continue till such time the world exists.. The world out there is competitive.. Make sure the competition is tapped.. When competitive seats available are lower than 50% of the total seats, ain't it taxing on the real competitive student. Any student who doesn't get in is so frustrated, that he goes abroad and never returns!! Did the HRD ministry ever think this is how it is really losing the "Resources".

The govt had plans of introducing employment reservation in private sector.. Watta joke.. If i were an industrialist all that i'm bothered is my employee works well. I cant have a dumb ass working for me just coz he was born in a backward caste. I would happily shift even to a communist country and tackle communism as a problem than tackle the resevation crap.. Am not talking abt acheivers here who work their ass off to climb up the ladder.. I'm talking abt losers who beleive in national policies, which can change with change in demography.. If ur caste loses ground to others who are vote banks, pity u, ur benefits could be withdrawn, coz ur trivial to the party needs.. Wake up and study..

Reservation based on caste system is probably the best form of demonstrating how effectively paries use caste.. The so called secular parties are no different..

Thats all i can crib, but there is a way out.. Reservations oughta exist.. But fix it on Economical Terms ie to base it on income and wealth.. Fix slabs of income and related reservation.. The problem of assesing the true income will still exist.. Link it to income tax and make sure whoever wants to claim reservation needs to file tax.. If there's still fraud god help ur tax department.. Abolish caste based reservation.. that is the first step to abolishing caste..
This helps in a lot of way.. a) Nobody would plan to earn less because their child gets reservations.. The basic motive is to earn more.. b) As u earn more ur reservation decreases and hence when ur not under previleged anymore ur reservation is phased out.. c)There is no discrimination between a poor SC and a poor brahmin.. If ur poor u get reservation depending on how poor u are.. d) Everybody has a right to education and a way to acheive it, coz nobody decides which caste they are born in.. e) U stop conversion as a technique to qualify for better benefits and so many more i can't think of at the moment and the associated problems are outnumbered by the pros..

Guess its high time we change and make Equality a reality..
