Reservations in the Private Sector

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.

Reservations is a govt policy and people are free to support and criticize it. People who get reservations will support it and those who don't will oppose.

Firstly, Private companies work on profits and they only hire only people on the basis of skills, knowledge and experience. If reservations in private is implemented then the entrepreneurs will lose their right to hire deserving people. This will reduce ease of doing business ranking in the country.

Secondly if reservations are implemented and company goes bankrupt then SC/STs/OBC's will be blamed for it.

Most govt owned organizations where reservations are provided are in heavy loses like BSNL, Air India, LIC, Indian Oil, India Post to name a few. On the other hand the corporates, IT, MSMEs, Startups are flourishing in the country.

Yes, reservation should be there.

The base of reservation is not economic but socially, educationally backwardness. It clears the structure of hierarchy in the society which is so rigid that it can't be easily break even through economic status. So the purpose is clear to equalize the society.

Second, you can't compare two unequal things with the same parameters. So before for fair competition equal merit should be there and these merits or talent also require some amount of cultural capital which comes through an inheritance. So economic status can' t be appropriate parameter until this huge gap is not fulfilled.

It is not an overtake of 'meritorious' student, if they are really 'meritorious' they would be surely selected. Equality should be based on equal parameters, not one sided.

In my point of view reservation in private sector is good, but it should not be more than limit, say 10% for some categories, what I'm going to say is if the reservation is less there will be a competition for that reserved seat. Then who have talent can get that seat, and I think this is a solution for those people are very poor, but not coming under any reserved category.

I said this because if 40-50% reservation is provided for the people under the category, there is two possibilities, one is talented person may get the seat or untalented person too. So if a person who have talent but not coming under that category face a problem.

So finally I conclude that reservation in the private sector is should be minimized and given chance to competitors to compete in competition world.

Reservation is something which shouldn't be there. We can see no one is as backward in actual as considered by government or policy makers there is tag which has been running since independence because if we find the editorials who are preaching reservation system are most aware persons about all stuff like they are very good at English and most of them are at high positions, then how can they say themselves backward? Or if they are covering this point for those who are really oppressed then why they themselves are enjoying reservation? Why don't they give up? Like in Britain unemployed get the allowance till he/she do not get but once he finds a job he voluntarily gives up allowance. This is why Britain is at the top.

Why Indians do not do this?

The very base reason for which reservation has been introduced for upper caste in government sector, for that very basic reason reservation should be introduced in the private sector for sc st and obc. This is not day dreaming as many developed nations do have reservation for backward classes in their private sector. The very structure of private sector is such that monopoly easily builds in and can be easily baised or indifferent towards a group of people or communities. Since a big pie of job creation comes from private entities a structured system is urgently needed so that all communities including sc st and obcs get their share in nation building and a life of dignity denied to them even after decades of gaining independence.

According to me, Dr. Ambedkar sir stood for the under reserve people only to support them at his time because at that time they were not treated equally. But today we see that people misuse their opportunity and they seem to be more dominating. Even though they have a good amount of money, they still try to have something in free, which is snatching away the opportunity for the person who is really in need of it. Reservation should be given according to the financial background of a person, but not according to his/her caste. And no one is sure that the person who gets a job by reservation is a skilled person and the person who is rejected is an unskilled person.

So reservation should not be given to anyone in any sector of job.

Hi friends,

Yes, its a major problem for our country that we are facing now. This reservation system creating a huge depth between the people belonging to higher caste and lower caste. Today we are on the way of development in every fields, so we required the person who have such talents or skills that can enhancing our countries growth rate.

If a person comes in any sector after completing the exams, he/she must have such skills that's our country demand unless the person comes with the quota are other reservation system may not have such capability. They just put into a grinding halt situation where no-one can focus on us instead of feeling guilty. So we should remove this reservation system in-fact remove this casticism.

Hello guys,

I have been reading this discussion past hour. I personally think that reservations should never be based on the cast or the creed of the person because you are stopping the growth of the reserved category people only as they get reservations they might think we are getting it without any efforts so why do any. This is one thing and another nobody can be judged upon his/her cast how can you say that this particular cast person is not clever so give them a reservation. It's like each and every General category person should be extra intelligent then. Hann! Reservations can be given on the basis of their economic background or their abilities that would really help to develop the nation.

Hello, everyone.

I think Reservation should be there but not the basis of caste but on the basis of income as well as talent. Yes, talent. We should have a proper planning as well as a systematic way of giving reservation as we already know caste system was only for 10 years. For example, if we have sports quota before giving reservation to a sports person he should have a fitness check so as to confirm that his talent still exists. It was just an example. Similarly once a person got a job he has to pass the tests related to that field in every 3years so that everyone gets active and dedicated even though they have jobs. Definitely, India will lead this way.

Thnq, your views will be important.
