Say No to Reservations
Monday, 30. October 2006, 05:25:54
I wrote this article for one of my blogs few months back, and today I just felt like posting it again, so as to keep the matter ignited, somewhere within me......
Hi!
Please spare your 5 mins, and I am sure that we can eliminate reservations from this country forever. If you are ready, then please read on…..
What could have happened if
- Dr B R Ambedkar would have never let reservations find a place in our constitution.
- Govt of India provided free education to all those who are financially weak.
- Our politicians would have really thought about the upliftment of this nation.
If any of these things would have ever happened, then I am sure that the present discussion regarding Reservations would not have taken the centrestage. And specially not after being independent for 59 years.
Its been really long since we got independence, and till date we are not being able to provide the basic education to a large portion of this population. So is it the fault of those people who belong to the other section of the same population [so called higher class], who worked hard to get his share of education. Or is it the fault of the those who could not implement their strategy well.
Had uplifting the backward class be an agenda for these politicians, then I am sure that it would have never taken 55 years to come up with such a disgusting proposal, instead they could have easily made certain provisions long back to do the ground-work first, by making education a bit easier for such people in the primary and secondary level. (Even now its not late to do so - Provide free education to the needy). But why is it that they have targeted the top of the pyramid? The answer is that - it would result into an easy publicity for them and also look as if they are the most caring people on this earth. And that fulfills the sole purpose their existence - to be in Power. Power is everything for such people, be it at the cost of diving this nation on the basis of caste or anything.
Britisher's ruled us on the basis of their philosophy - 'Divide and Rule', so is happening right now (or at least an attempt is being made) to divide the nation into two large sections and then keep them busy fighting with each other. Does it not sound like we are again into some kind of British Period, and this time the rulers are really smart because every five years they get back to us to say that 'We have done a great job, so bring me back to rule you again'. Only the people of this nation are to be blamed if they can not understand this vicious cycle being controlled by few people.
At this point of discussion I would let some figures do the talking for me - In India only 0.2% of the population goes for the higher education, and if 50% of these total higher education seats are reserved for backward classes then it would mean that 0.1% of the backward classes would have a higher education. Now just tell me does this talk of bringing any equality in this nation where just 0.1% of the people are being benefited? Or is it not just like showing the magnified image of an atomic to compare it with the size of earth? This is beyond my understanding that why would anyone talk of doing such a thing in the name of bringing equality. Is it not foolisness to satisfy Crores of people with a mere few thousand seats of some premere institutes. Does it not smell like something is being cooked deep within the minds of such people?
I also wish to raise a point - When did you see such a consensus over an issue among all the political parties, eversince independence? I guess none. Does it not hount your conscience that - ' it is ethically wrong to give opportunity to a less deserving candidate', but why does it not look wrong to our esteemed political parties? I leave this to be answered by you.
If all that has been mentioned above looks wrong to you, and you feel that Reservations should be there, then I guess the points mentioned below should make some sense to you.
Some proposals (If at all the Higher education is to be provided on the basis of Caste ):
1. Whichever SC/ST/OBC family gets the benefit of Reservation System, that family should not get such benefit in any form in future.
2. All those benefited by such a proposal should remain indebted to the entire nation, and hence they should be made to sign a bond that they will work in the intrest of the nation throughout their life, and they can't leave this country for any kind of their profitable intrests.
3. Goverment should show commitment to their concern for the backward classes, and they should provide a time-bound plan in order to uplift all the backward class people of this nation. And they should also produce quarterly report for the same, throughout their tenure. If they fail to show the desired results for two Qarters, then their candidature to hold the seat of being a policy-maker should come to an end by default.
4. After 55 years, when the present upper class will be relatively at a lower level (compared to those who are right now from Backward Class), what does the government plan to do with these people at that time? Implement a similar Quota at that time or some better plan? This should be made clear right now so that no confusion is created at at that time.
{ if the Government agrees to abide by the points mentioned above then it has all the liberty to implement the reservations}
