Reservations in the Private Sector

As per Indian Constitution, 15% of the opportunity is reserved for SC's. 7.5% is for ST's. 27% is for OBC's. Remaining 51.50% is for General Candidates. Reservation is available to every citizen. Why take grudge on each other?

Reservation should economical basis rather than on the basis of cast.

A person should get a reservation on the economic condition of him and his family.

The government should take a close eye on every aspect, like what work a person do, what kind of earning he has from other sources and so on. There is a need of define criteria, for every class of the society.

Thanks.

Hi friends,

According to me, First, we have to understand that what is Reservation and it is in India. That was the time when India need something to go ahead but the people of don't have enough sources to develop themselves, at that time, reservation passed and provide them who need first.

And also one reason India is a democratic country. When India got the freedom that time lower cast is not getting the respect they always vex by other I mean they have no right to prove themselves. So it is reservation which offers the opportunity to everyone and really India get success, but now reservation should be stopped because it becomes a tool for politicians, it used to win the election on the basis of caste system.

Politicians divide us on the name of reservation. We are equal and we will get the equal opportunity so we should take a decision over it, because it is applied for us that all.

Thank You.

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.

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.

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.

Reservation is a necessary evil, while it is true that reservation is a widely unpopular idea and upsets many. The most common question would be "why is someone who scored less than me is getting admitted into a college/job?" well to answer that question, you must ask yourself is the caste system really non-existent?

Reservation is justice rather than equality and there is a huge difference. If you think a physically handicapped person is entitled to reservation or want the infamous women bill to be passed, why not have the reservation for a "socially crippled" castes. While one's caste is not openly admitted we all secretly practice. Money and success alone cannot overcome this social barrier, only peers from his caste or similar backward caste would truly be able to help. Yes while I agree with Dr. Ambedkar that reservation should be meant for a fixed period not even he himself could decide upon this period due to nature of the problem. While this may anger many and some may even choose to insult me, I humbly ask this question - how many of your maids, drivers, cobblers, gardeners, plumbers, garbage collectors belong to a high caste and how many belong to a backward caste? and how many of your peers/colleagues/bosses belong to backward caste ? Why is it like that ? is it because socially backward people are not good at education or is it because all the people from the forward caste have extraordinary cognitive abilities ?

People from the backward castes are ashamed to admit their caste out loud, why ? Till the day that a person from the backward caste is able to admit his caste openly, reservation must exist.

People who are getting benefits or want to get benefits will never comes to talk about reservation, I think we should not vote to the candidate belongs to the sc, st and obc because these kind people always demand for reservation benefits but not progressive development.

In my opinion, there should be no reservation in any field for anything. IF so it should be immediately removed. Because it is not good it encourages favouritism towards a particular section of society. And also our constitution allows us to remain equal to our constitution for each section of society.

Article14ie. Equality before law. Those who are capable talented and passed the entrance test or whatever the criteria should get a chance whether he is from om or sc or st or any other caste. This is last way to judge someone. Please do follow the article14 otherwise there is no value of our constitution. Unless we do not implement.

I think reservation through all sectors should be removed. Since their is no need at all. I have seen that students do not study, they think that they need few marks and that solves they got selected in the competition like IIT, NEET, etc. But what about those who work's hard. Who doesn't get selected even having higher marks, knowledge, degrees.

This is point to be noted. The Indian government should be aware not only of SC/ST but for the Indian YOUTH.
