Is Reservation in Higher Education Only Alternative for Social Equality?

Hi, good morning to all of you. I am Ansh Yadav.

Our GD topic is reservation in India.

We know that India is a developing and progressive country. So the reservation should not allow our country. Many developing countries like America China, there is no caste system there. So reservation in India is very harmful to us. And we should abolish this evil and also shall abolish untouchability.

Thank You.

Reservation- what people think doesn't matter, but what the people thinks who lie under obc/sc/st category who can avail the facility of reservation, it matters. Those are getting this facility are in favor of reservation. But RESERVATION, not should, it must be on the basis of income and expenditure of a family rather than caste. Reservation system was made for the benefits of backward peoples, it meant for giving the chance to them who are poor mainly for SC/ST and OBC (it was assumed that SC/ST categories were very backward and didn't have basic education at the time of supreme court decision).

But now the condition has been changed. This is not justified that the son of an IAS officer who belongs to SC category shall get reservation. Government should think about it. What about them who belongs to general but not getting the proper facility or the student studying in MCD school. Otherwise starting line of education should be one. Each and every student get same level of education and it will be proved that who is hardworking and intelligent and no will judge someone on basis of caste.

Let me start with stating some facts. First of all reservation in India is created by constitution of India whose committee's chairman was Dr. Ambedkar who stated that reservation can never be vanished, it is to be reviewed every 10 years. It was created to reduce gap between higher and lower class. Total Constitutional Reservation is 49.5%.

But what I think is reservation in education is not an alternative for social equality. Why ? let me give you an example. A student of general category getting 70 percent not getting admission and a student of reserved class who got 20-30 percents gets the admission. Because the applicants of reserved class is too less as compared to general caste while reservation of seats for them is around 40-45 percent. This percentages were decided by proportion between reserved population (45.3 percent of total) and total population. I think they should decide according to the number of applicants.

I think passing criteria should be same for both and then government funding should be provided if a reserved class student gets admission based on criteria.

Why only Sc/ST students get reservation? I know India is still developing country, but we can overcome from poverty by giving financial support to backward family but not to their children (if so students becomes lazy).

In education, reservation should be in terms of fee concession not in admission or jobs.

India is still developing country because of this factor also.

Other countries across the globe are giving Jobs to DESERVE candidates, here in Our country jobs and facilities are in hand of RESERVE candidates.

According to my opinion, education benefits must be provided not on basis of reservation but on the basis of his financial conditions, because all those reserved are not poor. It is really a noteworthy point. In current system, one who is suffering is normal person. New reservations are adding day by day and the entire for them are reducing. A time will come when they will have only 10% of total seats in any exam or job. I don't want to hurt anybody. But if you have the potential and you're are lacking money, then government should help you, not in that case you are a reserved category.

As Per my opinion, after 20 to 30 years of independence Reservation to backwards class is right but still it's not favourable. I think there must be reservation system on the basis of their economic condition not by the caste system, because of that many skilled resources are not getting what they deserved. Give reservation on the price of forms, institution fees etc (make them free or lower the prices, whose economic condition is not good), but not on selection process in any job or in any institution. I recommend one thing that government should take care that the money will not be the reason for any desired candidate to achieve what he or she deserves.

Guys who are against reservation, I have a simple answer for you.

Abolish the caste system, abolish reservations!

Seriously man do you have to educate yourself before speaking on this? Do you even know how much castism is practised daily in India? Every day 10 Dalit women are raped you know?

Daily there are dozens of caste atrocities happening around. I haven't seen a single general or so-called upper caste pointing that out.

You want everything in your side, Caste title to dominate everyone, good respect in society and education too on your side. Every 5 people out of 6 people who are at below the poverty line are Sc/St/Obc. Do you even know how much trauma is left behind due to castism in the so-called lower cast? And I again say this.

Abolish the caste system and abolish reservations! Always up for debate.

India 2025 would be like 30_40% of seats for general category in education system it doesn't effect much in school life but in long run for professional n prestigious institutes it matters today a guy scoring 98%ile is not likely to get MBA in finance at IIMs rather a guy from reserved category scoring 75_80% is likely to get the same seat and each govt plays with the life of students just for their vote banks.

Hello friends,

In reservation, our childhood child belongs to SC/ST some people told him you are lucky your category SC/ST he doesn't understand at that time and than some years ago he understand reservation system and then its mentality is that I am SC/ST than I doesn't suffer much more and it doesn't get hard work.

Thank you.
