Statement: Should there be reservation of seats and posts on communal basis?

Arguments:

  1. Yes. It will check most of the inter-communal biases.
  2. No, ours is a secular state.
Only argument I is strong
Only argument II is strong
Either I or II is strong
Neither I nor II is strong
Both I and II are strong
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Clearly, reservations on communal basis will increase inter-communal biases. So, argument I is vague. Also it will be against the secular policy, according to which no communal group is given preference over the others. So, only argument II holds.
