Directions to Solve

32.
Statement: Should there be reservation of jobs in the organizations in the private sector also as in the public sector undertakings in India?
Arguments:
- Yes. This would give more opportunities of development to the weaker sections of the society and thus help reduce the gap between the affluent and the downtrodden in India.
- No. The private sector does not get any government assistance and therefore they should not be saddled with such policies.
- No. Nowhere else in the world such a practice is being followed.
- No. The management of the private sector undertaking would not agree to such compulsions.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The reservation of jobs in the private sector too would surely increase opportunities for weaker sections to improve their economic plight. Thus, argument I is strong enough. Also, private sector companies work on a good profit margin and they can and will have to accommodate such a policy if implemented. So, neither II nor IV holds strong. Further, just imitating other countries holds no relevance. So, argument III also does not hold.

I guess it depends on the kind of reservation being offered. For example. I think it is pretty unfair to have caste based reservation because nowadays some scheduled caste or other so-called OBC are much less "weak".
In fact for this very reason some poor yet deserving general castes are missing out on opportunities while some undeserving rich backward class are getting the chance. So I personally think it is fair to make reservations only on economic basis.

How can you say that private sector companies work on a good profit margin? We should not assume anything from our side. This is not implied in question.
