Is Reservation in Higher Education Only Alternative for Social Equality?

I think reservation should not be given in the case of education and government jobs or for the admission of government colleges. Instead of that, reservation should be on the basis of income and the person who is from low economic growth should be given scholarship instead of reservation of seats. So, this will result in equality for the competition of seats.

The reservation system has helped a lot in the betterment of the society, earlier backward classes were not even treated as humans. It was a very bad scenario. Many of them have actually come out of that poverty line but to say that the problem has been solved is an understatement.

There are still many villages which are in a bad situation, to know the state of the backward people we have to go to the very depth of it. They won't even know about the reservation system.

And the major set back which will follow if the reservation system is suddenly banned is that those minorities are going to suffer massive bullying. Bullying on bases of the cast is still prevailing in schools. People are afraid of disclosing their cast. Dalits are still being the victims of mob lynching.

So, as the topic asks if the reservation system was the only alternative for social equality then I would say no there is still a lot to be done.

Hi everyone,

I think after the changing of time, and keeping eye on the recent job situation there will need a change after some change in our society. It happens in a large number of cases when a talented general caste student didn't get a chance in higher education or a job for our reservation law. SC/ST/ OBC students also didn't get their certificates due to political reasons many times. We should think about it and need a change or abolish the system. When we speak about equality in society we also see that an sc/St/obc caste student belongs to a good family and has the support of money to bear any higher education but in the opposite site a general caste student who has the same merit didn't get the same chance due to reservation or he has to pay a large number of fees for the same level education.

And, I also support for the change because respected sir, Dr Br Ambedkar write the law in the constitution when the whole system was different there was a tradition for not giving an opportunity to the lower caste people but in modern India, it recover a lot percentage then it not needed that much in our society. For our general level students when we speak about equality then it. Should be maintained for all of us.

I do not support reservation in jobs, but peoples who don't have enough money to study in good institutions, scholarship has to be given to those, so that they can get admission in good institution and enhance their level and compete with others.

So in my view reservation upto some extent is right in the field of education but that should be on the economic basis, but in jobs there should be no reservation, so that only talented people come in the jobs.

Reservation is only for the poor people who deserve not for the people of downtrodden caste who are rich. Now in present education system, students get seats based on their caste but not on their talent. This system should be changed.

Hi this is Samyuktha.

In my point of view, that reservation is the wrong system in education. Students are suffering from these reservation systems. The candidates who are belonging to unreserved candidates are having more discrimination among the students.

DR. BR AMBEDKAR who was our national leader brought this caste based reservation system in education. He wrote in the constitution book for a period of this will be applicable. But our political leaders for getting sympathy on caste to get votes they are extending the reservation system.

In government jobs also reservation system by putting the cut off marks less for the minority candidates.

In olden days most caste discrimination is prominent due to unawareness among the people.

But nowadays they are having more money and they are well settled in society.

The unreserved who are coming from the poor background they are facing many problems.

So, I conclude that the government should take necessary steps to provide a reservation system to the unreserved candidates also.

People said that reservation should be stop its possible every one know they condition of SC/ST in India. Even if they get the higher education after getting the reservation Indian private organization discriminate on the basis of caste system so they only depend on govt Job And Govt institution.

In India there is approximate 27 crores SC/ST in India people think every SC/ST get the job they are not unemployed all get the jobs.

People said Reservation based on financial its possible? When govt give the scholarship to upper caste student they making they fake certificate and get they scholarship first. I Know if govt give reservation on financial bases all upper caste become poor for getting the benefit.

People said SC/ST get job in low merit. Merit is you know why because less no candidate selected so less cutoff. People who make reservation system know the every thing that's why he make caste based system. So most of people called him legends.

Its government fault not creating the job in govt sector making every thing private if you have talent go in private institution show your talent if you have.

Yes, reservation in the education system is very bad due to reservation, merit students lost their jobs.

People of general cast if I say today in my opinion they should be considered as backward classes as same is treated with general as before backward classes were treated before. Generals are now helpless. So wake up guys today he is not selected due to reservation and tomorrow may your turn comes. So fight for your right.

Reservation is a system which has been running for a long time. That's why our country is not growing because there is only one reason behind this cast reservation. 80% of the talented student is getting a good mark and they have also good knowledge however they are not getting a better opportunity in our country and some students are moving towards abroad and those country is taking advantage of it. As we all aware about that there are many names who invented the various thing.

Finally, I would like to say the government should put a ban on cast reservation asap by doing this it will also create a good picture in youngsters mind but it's not possible the only one reason politics.
