First of all why should be a reservation for anybody?

Remember, at every stage getting reservation means he/she is not the best person.

That means India is compromising in quality. Private sector won't accept it and they go away to another country.

The time has come to enforce Free Uniform Education, Free Uniform Health Care i.e. taking full control of these two sectors by Government and abolish this reservation system and abolish SC& ST Atrocities Act which is widely used for blackmailing or for corruption or widely misused. We are losing many bright students from un-reserved caste, because of this Vote bank based reservation system.

We need India Uniform Civil Code.

No reservation or concession, based on caste or religion.

No personal laws.

Because everything is related to Election system prevailing in our country.

It is difficult to expect such a change in our country.

Let me say a few things about this.

1) The reservation was introduced in our constitution for a period of 10 years to bridge the economic and social gaps between different sections of society. Our constitution made a rule for reservations so that that these people who were oppressed for decades can be uplifted. 70 years after this we are still debating if we should increase the reservations more.

2) After all the increments in the reservation, the statistics 70 years later statistics still show that only 3.9% of the backward castes are Indian tax payers. i.e. despite all the "Caste based reservations" that were provided, there was little to no improvement in bridging those gaps. Aren't we showing the same oppression to the so called "Upper classes" of the society as the people of those evil unjust times?

3) Are we so blind to see that this reservation system is not working? Do we extend this plague to private sector as well?

There are approximately 7 lakh jobs in govt sector that are still vacant despite the reservation system. So, Since the reservation system is not working, what we are essentially saying is let us increase the reservations more and hope the problem gets resolved.

4) I have seen a few comments about people stating that private sector must hire people based on a caste rather than talent. To put things in perspective, no body from a private firm asks for a candidate's caste before hiring them.

5) Also, the government takes it's share in terms of all the revenue a firm generates in terms of income tax of the firm, several different forms of taxes on the commodities it sells (software is a commodity as well) not to talk about the income generated through the jobs that are created.

6) Let us say that we create reservations in the private sector for the "Up lifting of backward castes". People from other countries that are depending on these organizations to get their job done will face challenges because their work is being done by a person who got 40% in their academics, made it through the competitive world because of the reservation system.

7) Business in such situations is bound to fail because, the money, the jobs, the growth will move to some other country like China where merit is given precedence over birth. i.e. the private sector in this country will slowly bankrupt.

8) Despite all this, the reservations once introduced will never be removed because of all the political battles that precede.

9) All the jobs will slowly go away, country's economy will shrink and at the end.

10) For all the people who say that reservation candidates are also talented candidates, consider this.

A candidate from any background with a 99.99% score in a SAT test is valued more in any other country than a candidate from SC/ST/BC/OBC with 40% score. If you really have talent, then you do not need reservations.

As a conclusion, reservations in private sector will not only suppress the talented people in this country, it will also ruin the very economy of this country. What social justice can you do by giving jobs, if there are no jobs to give.

I think that Reservation should maintain by Facilities Like/ free coaching, Fee Concession and many other type social and financial support but in jobs it not right because in this sector always maintain quality for accept global challenges in working culture.

In my point of view, reservation is not good in the education system because it makes poor society. Due to reservation many people have good knowledge and good skill they are unable to take the opportunity. Reservation should not give the basis of caste like as SC, ST, OBC candidates. Reservation should give a basis of economy. Those people belong to a poor family, they should give free education system.

In my point of view, reservation system should be given based on their incomes. Public is giving reservation depend on their caste. But now a days, in every caste people are with high incomes and also with low incomes.

Government is giving more preference to SC, ST candidates for providing reservation. Some of the people with low incomes are also there in OBC caste also. So, my opinion is government should provide this system according to their incomes.

As Said by Mr. Azim Premji,

Let's start the reservation with our cricket team. We should have 10 percent reservation for Muslims. 30 percent for OBC, SC/ST like that. Cricket rules should be modified accordingly. The boundary circle should be reduced for an SC/ST player. The four hit by an OBC player should be considered as a six and a six hit by a OBC player should be counted as 8 runs.

An OBC player scoring 60 runs should be declared as a century. We should influence ICC and make rules so that the pace bowlers like Shoaib Akhtar should not bowl fast balls to our OBC player. Bowlers should bowl maximum speed of 80 kilometer per hour to an OBC player. Any delivery above this speed should be made illegal.

Also we should have reservation in Olympics. In the 100 meters race, an OBC player should be given a gold medal if he runs 80 meters.

There can be reservation in Government jobs also. Let's recruit SC/ST and OBC pilots for aircraft which are carrying the ministers and politicians (that can really help the country).

Ensure that only SC/ST and OBC doctors do the operations for the ministers and other politicians. (another way of saving the country).

Let's be creative and think of ways and means to guide INDIA forward. Let's show the world that INDIA is a GREAT country. Let's be proud of being an INDIAN".

Reservations in private sector is a must, why because the governments are giving so many benefits to the private business people with the amount of the people including all castes irrespective of poor or rich. It is the obligation of the private sector to implement the reservations in their units. If they are not interested to implement reservations, they should not take any benefit from the government's. Industrial development is necessary but not on the cost of people.

Crores of Crores of rupees are being wasted by governments as benefits to private sector in the name of industrial development. How we are getting employment in other countries with reserved quota of VISAs (may be H1B or other) to India by other countries. Another thing is to mention here is, that the minor castes in India i.e. so called upper castes are enjoying more than 95% places are getting in all types of offices, may be due to recommendations, cash caste, or other.

No ST, SC engineer constructed dams/projects are collapsed so far in our country on the contrary others constructed have been collapsed. No ST, SC doctors have operated the patient's right hand/leg instead of left or vice versa, but others have done let. What I want to say that it is not the getting marks in the exams (all know how marks are being awarded). It is due to practice which makes perfect. For example our greatest ex president of India Dr. Abdul Kalam a below average student in his studies but he was called as great scientist.

Hello friends.

Here the topic is whether in private organization reservation should there or not. But in my opinion there should not be any reservation in government or public sector. Job should be purely based on candidates knowledge, his ability to work, his talent not based on caste. I am not against reservation. It should be there but for HANDICAP, WIDOW WOMEN, EX-SERVICEMAN etc.

Friends here I am going to share about my personal life. I belongs to a Brahmin family. My father is a class iv government salaried. Though my father's income is very less as compared to other, we are not eligible to get any type of relaxation or compensation in any situation as we belongs to general category whereas others are taking benefit from government not only in job but also in school, college, office everywhere.
