Can anybody explain the reason for reservation in my country India?

Question

In present day India there is a demand from every section of indian society for reservation.It looks that everybody wants a free piece of cake without having to work for it.It goes against every norm of modern society.The actual person does not get any benefit. The benefit goes to the people who do not need it.

Answer 1

Nothing is bad or good in its own stead. It is the way it is used, implemented and taken up which makes it bad or good. In India reservation was and is used to please some people and get quick votes, be it SC&ST provisions in constitution which was original for 15 years or implementation of Mandal commission after years of lying in bag. There are many aspects of reservation. It is fact there are some strata of society who need support to rise from their current status of poverty or backwardness.

However there is opposition for reservation because the benefit of it are not going to actual people rather they are taken up by some people of these society who are already in up class are taking up these benefits whereas actual needy people are still at the same place. No one will object if a really needy get the benefit, You and all are furious since it is someone who is not needy who is reaping benefit.

As far as making economic condition as criteria is concerned, there is always good and bad of all thoughts. Good about this will be that this should be the correct way of deciding giving help however there are too many lacuna in this as getting certificate for economic background is very easy to get since no one file income tax return and there no proof of incomes for people other than salaried people so what will happen ultimately is again people who do not deserve the benefit will get it and needy will remain eluded with this.
I agree that when it comes to job then what we need is competent people in jobs to provide proper service and let our country grow. It is wrong to say the people who need help to rise first time are not competent but what is required is that we bring them up and educate and train them so that they are competent enough to take up the challenges. Now if we talk about getting a doctor without enough skills. This is often repeated example but what we fail to understand that a person cannot be a doctor just by getting admission in medical college. S/he became doctor after passing out from the college. If we say that college examination system is such that they will pass person without knowledge then problem does not lie in reservation in admission but in examination system which required to be looked into. Having said that if education system is not good and it will allow person without skill to get the degree then what is guarantee that a person who has come by other route let us by paying higher fees or something and for that matter what is guarantee that a person who have scored 90+ marks is good in medical study. So then we are running risk of many doctors without skills operating on us. So this argument that if the person has come with reservation will be not competent doctor is not correct. If a person has passed MBBS (s/he can be anyone reserve one or other) and do not know how to use scalpel and then we should hung all the teachers who have taught them, people who have set the papers and all the examiners who has taken their practical exams and checker who checked their examination papers.

So mantra for anything to be good and successful is honest implementation of the same.

Answer 2

i agree with you completely!! but people on both sides(pro n con) fail to realise the others point of view!1st of all y was this reservation created??when the britishers left there was gr8 gap between main stream and the backward classes..in view to get them into this main stream reservation was created for 10years but now just to create vote banks reservation has been going on for more than 50 years!!
first of all do we need reservation?? wasnt reservation created to better the economic status??if we still need it that means the success rate of this reservation is rather low then is it a good stratergy??also if it hasnt worked till now how will it future??n if it has worked we dont need it do we??
it all a game of numbers..number of votes..are 50% of all people in the india backward??do they need it rather than deserve it??also it was to be in existance till infrastructure was built..if you have neglected infrastructure then how can u put the burden on the general public..create infrastructure n do away with reservation!!
