Reservation and Quota System in India
In 1950 the quota for backward classes of the society was made and from time to time many new quotas and reservations have been added to this by the government of India. Even after almost 63 years, the condition of the so called backward classes has not been improved, and the reservation system is working in the opposite direction.It is needless to say that India is still a developing country. Whenever the country undergoes a natural disaster or calamity the government has to request the country to donate to the Prime Minister Relief Fund. The value of Indian currency is decreasing day by day. Isn’t it because of the incapable human resource? Even the government is not interested in looking into this matter seriously. Because the party that forms the government in the center does not leave the greed of vote bank that they can create by further maximizing the quota.
Reservation System in India |
This reservation system is uplifting one section of the Indian society at the cost of another, which is unlawful and unconstitutional. Every citizen of a country must be ensured equal opportunities on the basis of merit. No one can deny that a talented and capable candidate does not need to prove that he/she is from a backward class.
Since the social media came into existence, many social groups have started to raise the issue. We really need to ask ourselves whether we still need this reservation system in India or not, since with time and the way it has been taken by the people have made many of us to believe that it has stopped serving its purpose. Many people have started misusing it. There are endless examples of people making fake documents just to secure a seat in a college or job. Hence more eligible candidates have to sacrifice their seats for the reserved classes.
Protest by Anti-Reservation Community |
You might have heard that there was a quota system in the US also, but they abolished it long ago and since then it has been for the betterment of the unprivileged classes. It means that the US government is helping the needy and at the same time they are not making any discrimination.
19 reasons of why reservation system should be abolished in India...
1. We have a lot of quantity but what we want is quality.. Give a chance to the deserved rather than the reserved.
2. Really talented people don't get what they deserve...because they are not 'reserved'.
3. Reservation should be abolished or soon INDIA will get abolished . . .!
4. To prove the word equality in the constitution.
5. As abroad India should offer free quality education and should sponsor scholarships for unprivileged poor student, reservation is just opposite to it..
6. So that the quality people and real talent can get opportunity.
7. Due to reservations we’re feeling guilty, because undeserved people are getting seats and thus we are failing to show equality even if we want.
8. Reservation system is affecting education system.
9. Reservation system should be abolished because it is associated with the castes rather than the economically backward.
10. It was meant to end, not to increase with time...
11. Because the reserved are preferred over the deserved and that reserved is undeserving.
12. Because if this system continues.... India was developing country....India is developing country....and India will be a developing country for ever.....
13. If reservation policy continues it will lead to the “murder of merit".
14. Because generals are also human beings and they are neither born with extra ordinary brains, they’ve a silver spoon in their mouth.
15. Because the demon of Casteism is growing on account of reservation. People make fake caste certificates and taking the seats and scholarships of the talented ones. If the deserved people had got reservation, India could have become a developed country. Poverty and backwardness does not recognise any caste.
16. For the accomplishment of equal opportunity to deserving candidates...
17. Because it breaks the unity of the country.
18. So that all people may feel that they are being treated equally...!!
19. Even after 60 years of reservation system, they still need reservation. It means, they just don't deserve it!!
