Is Reservation in Higher Education Only Alternative for Social Equality?

According to my perception.

Reservation is not a way out to equality instead it will lead to social disparity. The earlier reservation was in need of the hour to give everyone equal opportunity but now things have changed so far. Now reservation is not the desired need. I have seen so many examples like ST/SC people enjoying high-quality life still getting reservation which is totally unfair. Now we have to understand the need of an hour. In the present scenario instead of reservation, subsidies should be given to all those who don't have access to get educated. Benefits should be availed on the basis of the financial status of an individual. Then only social disparity can be eradicated and equality can be spread in real terms.

I hate Reservations. According to the talent, ability and skills, one should be given position in this world but not according to these nonsense reservations. May be 25% of the people getting benefited and the rest are suffering. Reservation in India has to last only for 10 years. But it was almost six times the given period. The people who are getting reservations are becoming lazy because they were confident about their jobs. The others are losing hope for their future.

Reservation less people may not be wealthy and the reservation people may not be poor. Many people were really losing hopes because of this stupid reservations.

"IT THE RESERVATIONS STILL CONTINUE LIKE THIS, INDIA WILL BE A DEVELOPING COUNTRY FOREVER. WE WILL NEVER REACH THE DREAM OF HAVING INDIA AS A DEVELOPED COUNTRY. IT WILL REMAIN AS A DREAM FOREVER. ".

SORRY, if I hurt the feelings of the others, but it was really true.

Hi,

I read one Had written no reservation required as God has given the same brain to all. If God has made everyone equal then why people discriminated by creating The caste system. Who gave you right. Now it's our time. Education is only one weapon we have to fight caste system. Reservation will never vanish until casteism is there.

Reservation was introduced by Dr. BR. Ambedkar to provide equal opportunities for receiving education to those who were denied the right to get the high education due to their cast. Before independence society was divided into castes and a certain section of the society was for doing only menial jobs. They had been denied equal rights for many years. To give them equal rights Ambedkar introduced the concept of reservation.

I think in the present context reservation should be given on the basis of financial condition and the talent rather than on the basis of caste. Because today people from backward classes having good financial condition enjoy the advantage of reservation. They do not relinquish the rights provided to them due to the reservation. That is why students from upper castes with the weak financial condition suffer and they have to work way harder than other castes to get the admission in educational institutions or to get the jobs in government sector.

Reservations nowadays are promoting inequality instead of equality. It has become a huge ground of injustice. The reservations are baseless now. The education should be made cheaper for spreading it to the backward sections of the society instead of providing reservations. And the ultimate sufferers are the derserving candidates. The logic is simple. The deserving should get the chance. No matter whether he is a sc or st or obc. They too can study and fight with the general category candidates and secure a seat in the best of the institutions on the basis of their merit. So I totally criticise the reservation system in higher education. A persons caste must not decide his future rather his hardwork and dedication should!

According to me this system of reservation is wrong. There should be no reservation.

For example in my class there were two students namely A and B. A is SC and B is general A is rich and B is poor. A got 10,000 rank and B get 1,45,000 rank in MBBS than according to rank who should get the seat? who is hard working?Who would probably become a good doctor?Answers of all these question will be 10,000 rank gaining student but who got the seat the student who got 1,45,000 this is our constitution.

Now the question arises who could make the change in this? So called ministers who are themselves SC/ST. Then why they demolish there advantage.

I am surprised why people oppose reservation for SC and ST. I think the biggest reservation in India is being enjoyed by the so called upper castes. According to me inheritance is the biggest reservation. The children of rich and powerful gets the same automatically without appearing in any exam. For example the son of a priest automatically gets the rights of the temple from his father to earn his lively hood without any competition. The children of Industrialist, big farmers, landlord, traders, politicians, exporters etc. Gets the same which is only reserved for them. Actually the biggest problem of the persons who opposes reservation lies with their own people who captures 80% of Indian economy, but they cannot fight with them because they belongs to their own caste. So they find an easy way to criticise by criticising reservation Before.

Well Dr Ambedkar had devised a splendid plan for uplifting the backward classes. He was a great man with good vision but he failed to understand that it would be used by politicians for their own petty purposes. The reservation system is no more helping anyone. The problem is this: People, from the reserved categories, who have already got a job (say like a Bank manager, or assistant engineer or may be even a District Magistrate) are giving their sons every good facility that some of the general candidates can only dream of and they are also taking advantage of their caste.

The result: These new breed of category wale get all the bragging rights and most of them turn out to be spoil lads. But they hold high offices and you can imagine what is happening (from Bribes to God knows what). If the reservation system had really worked the slums would have reduced.

Just imagine the Indian cricket time having reservations and playing against Australia. This is exactly what is happening to India right now. Since the society's progress cannot be directly telecast on the TV screen the real situation is not being perceived.

There is another problem: resources of any nation are constant. Now with the population constantly increasing we are bound to go into a future where there will be a huge crisis of resources, say like fresh water. Now I do not know what will happen then.

Alarm bells in the Indian society are screaming and the divide between the rich and the poor is increasing. Every large industry feels India is not a good place to do business in.

I personally feel that people should try and get out of this country for a better future.

The term reservation came into the picture to encourage downtrodden to take education and make progress. But now this practice has become a curse for India. Reservation, now, is hampering India's progress and development by stealing chances of deserved and giving them for free to less deserving people. Reservation now is killing the real talent. If Constitution says equality then why is it contradicting itself by the term RESERVATION? Reservation on the economic basis is always acceptable as its would really benefit the needy. Because one thing is fact NOT EVERY GENERAL IS RICH AND NOT EVERY SC/ST/OBC IS POOR.

The reservation system was introduced by Dr BR Ambedkar to provide equal opportunity and works for lower caste people.

But in present time reservation is not required because due to reservation system talented person not getting better opportunity and they are going abroad.

And other countries are taking advantage of it.

Due to reservation India is not growing perfectly.

In my opinion, reservation should be based on economic condition, people who are facing economic problem he should be given reservation in education or other fields.

Thanks.
