should there be reservation for caste in india? why?

Answer 1

Sorry for lengthy answer but it requires lot of introspection and need a complete view to do justice with this topic.
In its own stead, nothing is bad or good. It is the way it is used, implemented and taken up that 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 originally meant for 15 years or implementation of Mandal commission after its lying in cold storage for years. 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. Not all of us who have not seen deprived life know they really know what a backward person faces in her/his life.
However there is opposition for reservation because the benefit of it is are not going to actual people rather they are taken up by some people of these society who are already in upper class whereas actual needy people are still at the same place. No one will object if a really needy get the benefit, Most of people are furious since it is someone who is not needy who is reaping benefit. There are many arguments in this reservation issue:
1. Instead of caste basis, give it on economic basis: 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 to decide for giving help however there are too many lacunas in this as getting certificate for economic background is very easy to get since no one file income tax return and there is 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.
2. Incompetent people in jobs: I agree that when it comes to job then what we need are 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.
3. Would you like a doctor coming through quota to operate on you who does not how to use scalpel: 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.
4. What about other type of reservations: why there so much hue and cry about backward class reservations, do everyone really want selection of students on merit basis? if yes, then why there is not no one appear to oppose the other kind of quota called as management quota or nri quota. if all the protest is based on the concept of merit, will the protestant also oppose the private medical and engineering college; giving birth to so called meritorious students by engulfing a big price?
5. Reservation will take country backward: If that is true then why & how the south Indian states likes Tamilnadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh & Karnataka are more developed than the states of north India? Though there is average 60% reservation is present in both government & private sector.
We have to swallow bitter pill that India is still not free from Caste, gender and religion bias. To remove it we need everyone at equal social status. We need healthy education that can clean our prejudices. We need reservation for those who really need that and we need a surname free India so that Eklavya & Arjuna both can serve the nation equally without any bias.
So mantra for anything to be good and successful is honest implementation of the same.

Answer 2

No Reservations India

Answer 3

no, there should be no reservation for castes. after a long time india is developing as a nation where people have actually started forgetting about the casteism. then why split up the people in these segregated sections...it is all politics...people must be aware that only those who are talented and deserve the opportunities must be given a chance...why doesnt govt. concentrate on those people who are poor and cannot afford education...who actually need the assistance and need to be administered rather than those who are rich, undeserving people from different castes...why again go to that age where people behaved so strangely and srongly against different castes...can u give me a single good reason to spark that era again...

Answer 4

mail me

Answer 5

No. Look at what happens to the reserved compartments in trains all over India ;-)

It is never going to help. Why do you think the rich and the famous go to doctors abroad when sick?

Where there is will, there is way.

Answer 6

YES there is need reservation in India still. because they are (sc,st) to much poor and backward in all field in India. and there is cast filling is happening still. now you can see in any business field no Sc, St person is in higher position and no one is fully succeed in any business field everywhere general people are engaged. in all temple there is no st, sc, pandit will be found. still in 80-90 percent bramhan people are supporting cast filling. in school, colleges even professional colleges some teacher, professor are providing practical mark less then other swarn. if all societies are agreed to consider all sc, st people in there field then only it will be consider to discuss in this matter of reservation. now this all problem are coming form economic imbalance so it is more need to discuss about economic imbalance. there is not true to say unable students are being doctor and engineer due to reservation but there is more fact that on that position of selection they after very hard work because there mantle status are less the others and they face more economic problem due to poorness. in same place some student having lees marks thee sc,st, student but they have more money so they can get admission in any professional university"s management coata seat and some are get dr and eng. degree from forein contry. now there are more need to discuss and prevent of this economic imbalance. so I support to reservation in India.

Answer 7

Answer 8

AT THE TIME OF INDEPENDENCE, THE CHAMPION OF THE UNPRIVILEGED MASSES , DR. BR AMBEDKAR WITH HIS VISION ALLOWED FOR PROVISIONS IN THE CONSTITUTION WHICH WOULD RESERVE SEATS IN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTES, GOVERNMENT OFFICES ETC. FOR THE BACKWARD CLASSES.THE BIGGEST BLOT ON HINDU SOCIETY AND ALSO THE BIGGEST THREAT IS THE CASTE SYSTEM.AFTER CENTURIES OF HAVING SUFFERED UNDER THIS CASTE SYSTEM,WHAT THESE ECONOMICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY BACKWARD PEOPLE WANTED WAS TO ENJOY THE FRUITS OF FREEDOM,FREEDOM WHICH INDIA WON AFTER MUCH SACRIFICE BY ITS PEOPLE IRRESPECTIVE OF RELIGION,CASTE,LANGUAGE AND REGION. THESE PEOPLE AFTER HAVING SUFFERED FOR SO LONG DURING FOREIGN RULE AND BEFORE IT HAD ALMOST LOST THEIR BELEIF IN THE STATE, IF THE STATE COULD DO JUSTICE TO THEM.THEY ACCOUNTED FOR A SIZE-ABLE POPULATION OF THE STATE AND THEY STILL DO AND IGNORING THEIR ASPIRATIONS AT THE TIME OF A HARD FOUGHT INDEPENDENCE WOULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS FOR THE TASK OF NATION BUILDING THAT LAY AHEAD.IT WAS PRECISELY FOR THIS REASON THAT DR. AMBEDKAR , PUSHING ASIDE OPPOSITION FROM EVEN THE FATHER OF THE NATION, PROVIDED FOR BACKWARD CLASS RESERVATION.THIS WAS TO BE DONE SO IN A STIPULATED TIME PERIOD.HOWEVER , THIS CARD IS BEING PLAYED BY EVERY MAJOR POLITICAL PARTY IN INDIA, SUPPOSEDLY WORKING FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE BACKWARD CLASSES.THE GROUND WORK IS FAR OFF FROM THE PAPER WORK ,THOUGH.SO, IN MY OPINION RESERVATION SHOULD BE THERE FOR SC , ST AND OBC AND ALL, MIND YOU ' ALL' SHOULD BE WITHIN A STIPULATED TIME PERIOD AND NEVER FOR AN INDEFINITE TIME PERIOD LIKE THE SC's AND ST's HAVE BEEN ENJOYING SINCE INDEPENDENCE.

Answer 9

Yes if you want to ruin India; can't we think positive, when we say all are equal and have equal rights than why should we spoil someone through reservation.

Answer 10

yes, but caste alone should not be the criteria. those who beleive reservation hamper talented then what about those who get admission to medical and engg. college through paid seat and management quota. so those who cant pay money should be supported. only issue is to make ensure benefit of this does not go the wrong people.
