RESERVATION IS A SIN

SC/ST Promotion Quota has been a prominent and significant issue in the country. In Rajya Sabha as well as Lok Sabha there was a silence that whether the SC/ST Promotion Quota will get the clearance or not. But now the suspense is over the bill is not going to be passed.
Let's see what happened. Initially the SC/ST Promotion Quota bill was passed in the Rajya Sabha(Upper House) with a lower majority with only 10 leaders of the SP (Samajwadi Party) voting against the bill. Even BJP (Bhartiya Janata Party) which has been protesting vehemently against the bill for a long time and also promised to the people of India that it will inevitably vote against the bill. And in the Rajya Sabha the bill was ultimately passed after a very good and acrimonious discussion. But now it was the turn of the most unpredictable house in the India. This house (Lower House) completely transformed everything and shattered the dreams of government and other parties who were keen to pass the bill and annihilated every hope in the bill. The bill  got a real NO. Big parties like BJP, SP and many other parties voted against the bill and blatantly rebutted the bill's passing into the Indian parliament.
But many other things also happened during this process. A shameful thing that rocked the whole parliament. SP MP Yashvir Singh snatched the quota bill from the minister for personnel V Narayanasamy. Sonai Gandhi then jumped from her front row seat, grabbed the bill and INC MP Vilas Muttemwar wades in and pushed Yashvir Singh.
But I consider that the bill's not passing was a good thing. If the bill would have been passed it would have definitely created a big problem in the country. From the commencement SCs/STs have been given a reservation, so what's the use of giving them a quota for promotion. When you are talking about this bill, you are yourself proclaiming that they are inferior to people of upper castes and when there is going to a competition for a particular thing or position there should be an equitable distribution of anything clearly based on the performance of people notwithstanding on the basis of the castes. Allocating them such quotas means that we are ourselves discriminating them. This thing is also stopping and restraining us from progressing. We are still maintaining the caste system by using such measures. In the name of helping them we are creating a problem and trouble for them.
If we want to progress we have to stop our leaders from playing the vote bank politics.

Jai Hind, Jai Bharat
Jai Ma Bharti
