Is Reservation in Higher Education Only Alternative for Social Equality?

Reservation is a myth specially for OBC they the minorities get nothing except for misconceptions regarding benefits which the ruling majority imparts with full intended purpose to win the election and other general class people think that they draw immense benefit. OBC enjoy only relaxation in age apart from that all benefits are for SC/St candidates.

Hi friends.

In my opinion reservation should not be given in higher studies, because at the time of independence reservation was given a slot in the constitution by Dr.B.R. Ambedkar to eradicate the differences and ensuring equal status to the backward caste. The provision of reservation was made only for ten years but later on it was politicized for vote banks by politicians.

But as in current scenario almost differences has been rooted out form our society and people of backward caste has also got opportunity in almost all sectors. So I think instead of giving reservation for higher studies primary and secondary education in government school should be modernized. Eg. E-teaching, recruiting teachers with proper training prior to joining schools.

Yes, I think that reservation should be there in INDIA because people who belongs to SC/SC/OBC they no other system from where that got upliftment. They can come up by the help of reservation system.

Thank You.

Hello everyone as per the topic reservation should be removed from the education system because there are many talented students who are not able to fulfill their dream of studying where hey want to just because of reservation and these can be from upper class as well as from middle class.

Each and every student should be judge from his/her knowledge what he/she is from inside, because now a days we all students are being judged by there numbers and knowledge. So reservation should be removed from the education system.

Hello everyone,

I support reservation because in INDIA more than half of the population still believe in casteism. "Right to Equality" is just in papers not in real practical life. People still discriminate on basis of caste. They treat lower caste people as they are nothing.

The quality of life of some SC/ST has improved just because of reservation. Imagine Upper caste people sitting in higher position, do you really think they will ever give opportunity to lower class people.

In India people still say they are proud to be Rajput, Brahmin etc etc. They have NOT done anything to achieve this, they have randomly landed in a very random family with some random caste. It's good to think that you aren't inferior to others but having a superiority complex on the basis of your "religion" or "caste" also makes you a big racist.

Hai friends.

I agree with all but in my view the reservation is not need for casts. It is need for poor students. For example I have 2 friends one is reservation candidate other one has no reservation. In the EMCET exam reservation student get 21 marks and non reservation student get 39 marks. Reservation student is selected but non reservation is not selected. But both the students are come under below middle class families.

So in my point of view education depend upon talent not on reservation.

According to me, reservations are necessary for the people with financial problems because of which there can be upliftment in those sections of society. There are advantages and disadvantages of reservations. People make fake certificates which is wrong and we can see with students who are having reservations they take career too lightly and take undue advantage of it. One has to work hard to come you in life and not rely on reservations.

When people are kept backward by their caste, only way to uplift them is by caste only. There is no poor or rich thing in that. Large part of India is still following untouchability. Separate societies are there for low caste people. In Tamil Nadu many villages low caste people are not allowed to wear chapels. They have to drink tea in separate glass and wash their own glass even after paying for that at shop. This is the reason reservation is caste based. Regarding quality of doctor and engineer. Be clear that they only get admission by reservation. To pass Eng or medical exam they have to get same marks as general category.

Reservation should be done on the basis of one's financial status rather than. During framing of our constitution reservation was given to uplift the weaker sections. But now its high time that give up these notions in order bring equality in education. Education enlightens the society, So it should be free for everybody, imposing reservation contradicts the RIGHT TO EQUALITY. This has also degraded the quality of higher education in these years. Financially weaker sections are still lagging behind of which many belong to general category. Reservation is widening the gap between SC/ST and general.

Concluding all of the above terms I just want to say that reservation should be there but up to a certain extent the poor and the needy sections of the society must be given allowances and funds by the government for their upliftment, and as regarding the development of the country there must be no caste reservation each and everyone must be treated equally and only the weak sections must be given reservation so that corruption must be removed to a certain extent and making India a country where everyone is equally treated.
