Nowadays the whole India
is sunk into the politics. Politics has been inexplicable deep rooted in the
whole nation. But nowadays due to enormous rapacity of power and money, today unintellectual
people have got into it who tend to divide the nation just for money and votes
and are staunch supporters of “DIVIDE AND RULE” and are completely unfazed by the
problems people face due to their policies.
One such topic is
RESERVATION……………..
Although reservation
is a very contentious issue in India, people even fear to talk about it but I
still believe that we need to talk about it.
Reservation was
allocated and given space in the constitution of India when practices like
untouchability, casteism were prevalent. Segregation of people on the basis of
their caste was a mundane thing which you could observe in every household.SO
to combat this thing, our Constitutional Assembly members carved out a new way.
To tackle the aforementioned problems, they thought of inducing “Reservation”
into the constitution. Certain provision were made for people from lower castes,
for a given period of time, so that they could also come up and get themselves
involved into the mainstream India, but they never thought that their
predecessors would extend the allocated deadline in order to exploit people and
make people from lower castes their “VOTE BANK”.
The first vote card
was played by the government of V.P. Singh, Former Prime Minister of India, who
implemented Mandal Commission. The Mandal
Commission was established in India in 1979 by the Janata
Party government under Prime Minister Morarji Desai with a mandate to "identify the socially or
educationally backward." It
was headed by Indian
parliamentarian B.P.
Mandal to consider the question of seat reservations and quotas
for people to redress caste
discrimination, and used eleven
social, economic, and educational indicators to determine backwardness. In
1980, the commission's report affirmed the affirmative action practice
under Indian law whereby members of lower castes (known as Other Backward Classes (OBC), Scheduled
Castes (SC) and Scheduled
Tribes (ST) were given exclusive access to a certain portion of
government jobs and slots in public universities, and recommended changes to
these quotas, increasing them by 27% to 49.5%.
The first “Vote Card” was played by V.P. Singh, Former Prime
Minister of India, who implemented the Mandal Commission and divided the whole India
for ever.
I consider the fact that reservation was a necessity at the
time of Independence, but after some years reservation should have become obsolete
but our politicians used it, to make their vote banks to play the dirty game of
politics.
The consequences of Reservation which we see today are very much
harsh and disgusting.
The first one is of politics. Today every politician tries to
divide people on basis of their caste. This practice is so much prevalent in
the whole India that in some areas only Dalits can win and in some only
Brahmins can, no matter how hard you work for the people of the constituency
but they are going to choose the person of their caste only. This has led to
huge losses to the whole India. If casteism would have been ended before, India
would not have to bear the difficulties which ensued from this disease of
reservation and caste.
The second is that today Reservation is an alarming threat to
the whole nation. The constitution of India gives the whole nation right to
equality but today due to reservation inequality is present in the whole
nation. People are given job not because of their ability, but due to their
caste. Ridiculous! Something to be completely ashamed of.
The next thing is the weakening of people. Today people are
getting advantage of reservation are being alienated from the mainstream India.
Those people who even today use reservation are thought to be fragile. This has
led to huge emotional imbalance among people, especially youth and we
definitely need to check it or we will lose the united India for ever.
The fourth thing is growing resentment among the youth. Today
youth belonging to general category are developing in them rage for the whole
system due to which people who are less efficient than them are taking away the
jobs and opportunities. Many people who are able to do things and are adept at
those things are not being given chance and opportunity because of this
reservation only. How would you feel when a person inferior to you would get
the job you were vying for? You would in yourself develop a rage for this whole
system which would result in the degradation of the whole country.
The other thing is less efficient people. It is not a hidden
fact that extraordinary and intelligent student are there in SC/ST and OBC
category but many students who are not worthy to do the jobs are chosen due to
reservation. Let’s take the example of CTET(Center Teacher Eligibility Test). For
students from SC/ST and OBC category the cut off is of 82 while for students
belonging to the General Category is of more than 90. Let’s suppose that a
student from General Category secures 89 while an OBC candidate gets 82. The OBC
candidate would clear the test and the general candidate would lag behind and
also there is no denying in the fact that the one who got 89 is more
intelligent than the candidate with 82 and this will lead to huge inefficacy in
the education system. Although the two candidates have studied from the same
university or college but still the less intelligent one would get the job and
the other one not. Isn’t that like a nightmare? It is truly and due to this
thing, every year thousands of students commit suicide because despite of being
intelligent and hard-working they got nothing. Same things continue in Medical
professions, judiciary professions etc. and went on to deteriorate the whole
system.
The other thing is exploitation of reservation by people. Let’s
suppose that you belong to general category and you are a pauper. You have a
son who is very intelligent, studies in a government school and wants to crack
IIT. Now let’s also suppose that there is a businessman whose son studies in a
top class school of Delhi and the businessman has an income of more than 2 lakh
per month. Your son and the businessman’s son give the same JEE paper. Although
your son got high marks than that of the son of a businessman but still son of
the businessman qualifies and your son doesn’t. Although the son of businessman
had more amenities but still he got the benefit of reservation. Is it good? How
would you feel? You would start hating the nation. Such things happen regularly
to many people but out vote bank politics has no room for their grievances.
Next thing that follows is more reservation. Now after
watching the reservation being given to SC/ST and OBC many people from
different caste groups are asking for reservation, sitting on dharnas,
immolating themselves. This has led to more division of the whole nation.
How great it would have been, if we would have given
reservation on the basis of the economic condition of people. People with bad
economic background would have come up and the divide between the rich and poor
India would have been reduced. People with skill would have been given
opportunities and those who are not deft would have been egressed. This
egregious system of reservation would have proved to be good if it would have
been given on the level of amenities that people are having, their annual
income and their economic background.
But haplessly our Vote Bank politics has no space for our say
and voice. It can only listen to those who suggest ways to debilitate the
nation.
MAY GOD BLESS
YOU
MAY GOD BLESS India
