sanjay jain | | This is the first time,I am feeling so frustrated due to bad
politics in India. I never write about politics or things happening
in India but now decided to write my feelings on reservation and
politics.
Recently Indian Government decided to introduce 27% reservations for
OBC (Other Backward Class) in professional colleges in India.
Government is saying that his motive is that people who are poor,
should get chance to get good education and in this way people in
India will be at same level after sometime.
People who are in support of this, they are saying:
OBC consist of total 50% of Indian population and giving them
reservation means, helping 50% population of India (however recent
data of some government body says that it is 30%)
As Government is having reservation in Jobs for OBCs for giving
reservation will them equal opportunities to get a good job with
good education
Now what I think:
Reservation will make India a second grade country because people
who will get 40-50% marks will get admission in IITs, IIM and people
who are getting 80% marks will sit outside. This will happen only
due to CAST which is not in the control on one person. CAST is given
by GOD at the time of birth and one can't change it.
Reservation will divide India again (First partition was in 1947
when India divided in India and Pakistan). Last time it was divided
physically and this time it will be divided by emotionally and
mentally.
Reservation will make our first class institutes (IITs, IIM)
producing second class graduates because education is just like a
machine in which output depends on input, so if you give second
grade students then output can't be world class
Again the benefits of this so called reservation will be taken by
upper OBC families as their kids can go for education and at the
time of higher education they will get reservation so mostly this
benefit will not go to poor families
What Government can do instead of Reservation?
Provide free education up to primary and secondary level for OBCs
student.
Open more training centers like ITI to give job oriented trainings
to OBCs population
Give reservation to OBCs around 10% but only to the people who are
from poor family (for example having family income less than 10000
Rs/month) ,simultaneously increasing the facilities in professional
colleges to increase seats and opening new professional colleges so
that for the people who are not under reservation categories there
will be increase in seats also
Give reservation to only families who are having 2 or less kids , in
this way India can reduce the population also.
What option we have if Government is not listening to us:
Sit home and watch news on TV that what's happening as it is not
going to effect us because we are already in jobs and keep abusing
politicians for all these things
Apply for immigration for countries like US, Canada , UK or
Australia . Leave India and keep saying that "Nothing can be done
in INDIA"
Take part in anti reservation movements so that we can try to save
our next generations, to feel the pain of reservation. By giving
support to movements against reservation based on CAST, we are
indirectly helping India to produce top class students from
professional colleges and it will help India to be developed country
by 2020.
When other countries are going on Moon, What Indian politicians are
doing:
Having the mindset of 17th Century and dream to be developed country
by 2020.
You can not have India as developed country by making most of Indian
youth population handicap and giving them stick of reservation.
You can't isolate yourself from whole world and can't face
competition from other countries by giving reservation and producing
second great professional to this global world.
Today we are doing great in IT because we have most talented people
who got good education and worked hard to achieve this. This is our
great education system that we are doing so good in IT but if
reservation is going to stay then this will be story of past which
we will tell to our grand children as our grand parents tell us that
in past India was the "GOLD MINE".
Think what you want for you and for next generation and act on this.
Without action, nothing can happen. There is one famous
saying "Without death you can't get Heaven", so to see and get
benefits of HEAVEN, you have to die.
Just I want to repeat the statement which was given by our GREAT
Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru to all chief ministers on
June 27, 1962 on reservation:
"I dislike any kind of reservation. Help should be given on economic
considerations and not on cast. I react strongly against anything
which leads to inefficiency and second rate standards. I want my
country to be first class country in everything. The moment we
encourage the second rate we are lost"

bhal patankar | | While hoarsely criticising on the OBC coverage, I am yet to hear any 'Savarna' criticing the practice surreptiously started and now blatently used by the Rich to 'buy the seats' in prestigious schools/ colleges including Medical/ Engineering EDUCATIONAL institutes.
Especially the Medical/Engineering Education should be on Merits of marks obtained but then one can easily imagine the extent of corruption of incresing marks in the exmination.
Recently we heard about the Lohar Brothers allegedly cheating the Maharashtra Public Service Commission or the case involving Dr Karnik allegedly misusing his position.
OBCs together are over 45% of the population and hence the cunning political brains have used this OBC card for the General Election advantage.
Let the Rich clean their own house of corrupt practices and then cry /object reg the OBC
May be I am totally wrong!Pls correct if I am!
I am a poor bramhin of 64 and had suffered frustration at the hands(purse)of the rich bramhins when I was young, as the scolarships in schools also were granted to the schollers who used to attend the coaching classes, blessed by the school authorities.
Thank God(Buddha), Babasaheb Ambedkar did not join the 'vishishtha population', as otherwise Bharat would have been painted in different colours!!!!
bhal patankar,

Ramaswamy Sundararajan | | Byepassing merit and getting admission thru 'donation' by the rich is as inadmissible as the caste based reservation.But the rich are not confined to the forward castes alone.Though statisticsare not available to support my staement I have the gut feeling that what I said is right
There is another angle to it.We are fighting agaist the institutions of excellence,named as such by the visionaries,ought not be subjected to the reservation malice.Though in principle caste should have no place in the scheme of things in Education,it should be particularly excluded in IIMs IITs and similar prestigious institutions where the admission should be only on merit irrespective of caste
If the reservation is contemplated because the OBCs can not get in thru merit the Govt itself has to be blamed.Except the well to do others can not afford good schools run by the private sector.The schools run by the Govt present a pitiable state of affairs in terms of infrastructure,teacher strenghth or more importantly in teacher quality as the teachers got the jobs not on their merit but on reservation or as a result of the favouritism and nepotism.To expect any thing better than mediocre education
Implement the reservation and kiss quality education good bye

Aniruddha Mookherjee | | This current issue of reservation certainly is very serious & conditions are due for worsening further, as Mr.Bhal Patankar said rightly one is reserved category reservation & the next one is reservation by the affluent class who are literally buying out such opportunities & depriving the genuinely desrving candidates who do not have money to buy out this seats or cannot pay for education bcoz they are no so well off unlike their peers in the group.
All politicians are of similar category,no matter whichever is there lineage all after taking benifit of such situations in some way or the other.
Thanks
