Hi, I believe reservation should be finished as soon as possible because it has already supported the backward classes to that level that now they can stand on their own because it is high time now as the general categories have suffered a lot of competition where in reputed universities a general candidate has to bring at least 95-97% in those same universities SC's&ST's get admission easily by grabbing only 85%-87% I want to ask why it is not finishing now? how much more time we would have to suffer? it is clearly a violation of the right to equality" and now it is our right and we want it".

I think reservation should be there but not on the basis of caste, instead if it should exist on the basis of the creamy and non-creamy layer.
What I mean to say is it should be provided on the family income basis like those who are poor and never got a good opportunity in their life.

Reservation should never be a part of education system. Admit to the universities should be given only on the merit basis. To assure social equality, backward classes should be provided assistance in the form of redemption from payment of tuition fee, should be provided with free books and hostel facility in the campus.
A general category student finds it very difficult to get the admit in government colleges, to find government jobs etc. As a result, students apply in foreign universities and prefer to work over there which we call as BRAIN DRAIN.
A category student continues to enjoy the reservation even though his family income may be more than 7L per annum.

If a less educated person becomes doctor by using reservation, how the life of a patient can be in good condition. Similarly if a reserved person get chance to become pilot, can you think a safe landing of your plane?
So I think reservation should be on basis of financial condition.

Why we talk about reservation only in education or in employment but whenever we go for donating blood but no one can ask about our caste or religious and no reservation is provided here.

Reservation should be stop on the basis of caste, But when people will stop asking for caste, when people will stop asking for surname trying to know caste of the person. And finished name of caste from India. When people will knows only from there name not caste or surname. Every people will treat equal in private sector.

Reservation should be given on the basis of the economic condition of the family and not on the basis of their caste.

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.

It is true that once upon a time reservation was needed because the so-called backward classes needed a place in the society so far as education and jobs are concerned. However, the scenario is vastly different nowadays where the same is being misutilized. In my opinion, reservation in higher education can't bring social equality because of the following reasons:.
1. It hurts meritorious and needy students who aren't able to get admission to reputed institutions because of quota.
2. Candidates having some sort of quota have no inclination towards studies because they take everything for granted.
3. Only. 0. 6% of all scholarships in India are merit-based.
4. It is not difficult for someone to produce an SC/ST/OBC certificate just to get admission to the reputed institution.
5. It's a myth that backward classes aren't financially well off these days.
6. Reservation in education is caste based and not based on financial status.

Reservations should be provided only on the basis of financial condition of a person, not on caste base, if government wishes to support people on caste basis they could open coaching institutes to train them instead of reserving a seat which they don't deserve.
