Is Reservation in Higher Education Only Alternative for Social Equality?

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.

If 69% of population of our country gets the reservation for 49% than what is wrong in this our legends had seen a dream that our nation will be one of the developed nation, so finally ending my words I would say that for the fulfillment of that dream we all have to move ahead in a organised manner & for that reservation is required for some years.

Hi friends.

It is very funny to hear that government has only a reservation option for Social equality. In my point of opinion it is very bad idea to set up cotta systems, it sounds bad that due to cotta system the more claimed person are not getting a admission in good colleges and I think due to this the IIT of India's that have a good rank in world. Today they are not reputed due to not very skilled students, government should make alternatives or set up more universities.

Hey I'm Ishan.

I'm ST and I think we should get these seats because I know the conditions of my caste people still we are far behind. Our family members are laborers, cobblers etc. Some people who are general they make the certificate of ST/SC caste and use them for selections. This is not good we are still poor peoples our peoples live in still mud houses.

Hi friends.

I agree that in India people are very poor and they should get an opportunity but the poor people in India are not only from a certain caste. Poverty can not be dealt on the basis of caste and if we want a developed nation the criteria for reservation should be based on financial status not on certain caste barrier. It discriminate our society, the caste under reservation itself get smell that they are inferior and that's why they ate given reservation.

People who are well to do in society should not get reservation. If reservation has to be given to those who need it, to bring up their families (Poor people). The current form of reservation is for those who are making mock of the system.

See 50% reservation is there and those people who are well to do, they have their kids in very good education system, they avail the reservation, there by denying to those who are poor and tried reservation also but because of these selfish people, they cannot get admission.

People are talking about equality. Where is the equality when Dalits are tortured and justice is denied to them, see the condition of SC/ST and OBC people in U.P, Bihar, Haryana and other states. One of my friend's mother didn't allowed a SC guy to enter in her house, see how the khap panchayat people treat with SC/ST/OBC.

In U.P, Bihar and some other states can you think of asking a Brahmin person to allow his daughter to marry a SC/ST. He will prefer to kill his daughter before that. N people are still talking about equality. Just because SC/ST people gets 22% of your seats general people are protesting.

Have you ever thought that how an SC/ST guys feels when he is treated as untouchable. If the reservation system is removed then the condition of these SC/ST and OBC people will deteriorate more. With the help of these reservation system at least these people are allowed to study. With the removal of this system these people will be neglected and the literacy rate will drop drastically. Reservation shall remain until the upper caste people treats the lower caste equally.

We are living in a country which is still developing instead our country is the world largest democratic country. But we are facing many problems and reservation is one of them. By giving reservation we are giving chance to the people who belongs to schedule caste/tribe but what is for people of general caste.

Poor people are in all classes but why giving this only sc/st. I think it must be given only on the basis of financial condition. There must be a criteria for getting reservation n there must be a transparency regarding it.

Hello friends.

I partially agree with this reservation system as it help the low caste people to come forward and show their talent. But reservation has a big disadvantage that is in the name of caste, quality of engineers is decreasing day by day. At least in the field of education the opportunity should be awarded according to the individual score. In the IIT exam the cut off should be same for every student.

I feel seriously funny reading some of the comments. Reservation System is of no good. Politicians are using this as a tool to get votes. Yes, I do accept the concept of reservations based on 'Economic Status Of a Family'. We all humans have same physical features that nature has given. It is up to us to utilize it and one can't blame their caste/community for this. There are reservations right from the word go (UG admission, PG admission, Govt and Public Sector jobs, Promotions, etc). There's no stopping. At least getting gobs and promotions should be spared from this. This system can sometimes become very demoralizing.
