Is Reservation in Higher Education Only Alternative for Social Equality?

Hello friends.

The Main objective of reservation is to provide opportunities and better living standard for weaker and privileged section of the society.

Dr BR Ambedkar fought for bringing reservation system into Indian constitution to help economically various caste people who were unable to have sufficient opportunities to grow. Examples Obc, St, and SC,

After independent reservation up to maximum 20-30 years and still exists. Nowadays reservation is required by politicians to get scores of votes. Any political party never try to stop reservation because of the fear of losing the election.

Many students are not getting those opportunities which one they really deserve because of reservation.

Mainly solutions is that.

* The government should give money for St, SC and Obc for primary, secondary and higher education. And provide good health facilities. Government help only economically. No need to give any type of reservation on the caste based.

* government use high technology in the education sector for weaker section. That's where they gain a proper education.

Reservation in the education system is a very wrong thing because of reservation merit students lose their opportunity.

If the government want each student will learn with equality then the government should ban on the reservation.

Instead of giving reservation on the basis of the caste 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 in higher education only alternative for social equality, I think that the system of reservation which is in India is sometimes may not necessarily cause the, suppose the student who came from the poor background but he not able to pay the fees for particular higher education because of financial problems in this situation the loss of knowledge of that student who have really appropriate for it so I think the reservation depends upon the quality of that student not cast of that student hence by this way the students who have the knowledge a lot of which is really required for developing India or their carrier so reservation depends on skill of student.

In my opinion, reservation should be stopped. I have no words to say about disadvantages of reservation faced by OC students/citizens of India in each and every field mainly education, jobs. As I am fed of reservation. As an OC, I took the decision not to vote.

Friends don't be so self-centred. More than half of the population of our country reside in village. We should think about them also. People coming from rich background who got education from a top-class schools and colleges can't be compared with the people having poor background who got educated in villages schools and colleges. Reservation can be avoided when the quality of education will be same in city and villages and coaching centres should be completely avoided everywhere. Is it possible? Equalities should be made between equals. How can we talk of making equalities between unequals.

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.

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.

Make education mandatory and free for all till age of 15. Propose reservation based on economic status. Provide opportunities to students to earn while they study.

Hi friends.

I think that it's not important to have a reservation in education instead of giving reservation in education they can give reservation in financial condition that will be better because of it not important that every person who is poor belong to the same caste.

Guys who are against reservation, I have a simple answer for you.

Abolish the caste system, abolish reservations!

Seriously man do you have to educate yourself before speaking on this? Do you even know how much castism is practised daily in India? Every day 10 Dalit women are raped you know?

Daily there are dozens of caste atrocities happening around. I haven't seen a single general or so-called upper caste pointing that out.

You want everything in your side, Caste title to dominate everyone, good respect in society and education too on your side. Every 5 people out of 6 people who are at below the poverty line are Sc/St/Obc. Do you even know how much trauma is left behind due to castism in the so-called lower cast? And I again say this.

Abolish the caste system and abolish reservations! Always up for debate.
