What bout the Middle Class in midst of RESERVATION ? SC/OBC has reservations & the rich hav money..wat bout re

Answer 1

Reservations are legislative (not administrative or judiciary or society) solution to historical "social" injustices.

Reservations can be scrapped when 80% of marriages in India are inter-caste or inter-religious.

Answer 2

The OBC/SC are here to stay to get votes by politicians.The new, yound generation should revolt against this policy thru ballots at the time of elections and not by bullets. Sathyagraha is the best policy to revolt against this.
The best solution is to bring a legislation in the Parliament that ECONOMY should be the deciding factor and they alone deserves the right to get all benefits of the Govt.
The govt. should slowly but steadily decrease this reservation policy. If it goes on increasing this, the day is not far off the majority will become minority.

Answer 3

Your question is quirky.. you mean SC/OBC people are not part of the middle class? Scores of SC/OBC people that managed to land into jobs are also middle class people.. Yeah but they still have reservation...

Or do you mean FC middle class people? Thats why I feel we should get the caste out of the equation..

India is a land of inequalities.. we may not be able to get rid of reservation at the time being but perhaps modify the criteria for it.

Probably the best criteria for reservation (if we need it at all) is for students studying in schools which might have lesser resources...

We have some schools that provide 100% results for past so many years and their students regularly get selected in IIT-JEE etc... kids in these schools already get the best training and their parents are wealthy enough to send them to these premier institutions... These schools also have very good resources and thus students automatically get better exposure and are able to come good in studies.. We have lot of students from these schools consistently getting 90% and above..

However, the other schools that are not so much well-stocked in terms of resources and the results are not that spectacular, also have some good students that are able to get average marks in-spite of the fact that the school is not the best.. In my opinion, if we give them the best resources, these students might have the capability to get better scores. It is for these students that we need to provide reservation for.

(PS.. this is not really reservation but some scale applied to the marks scored by students in the final exam.. after this, there would be mobility - yes.. but nobody will block a seat for a person.. after this scaling all students are to be treated equally.)

I would suggest scaling the marks of kids from unprivileged schools as follows (just a wild formula at this time... need more analysis):
Lesser Schools = Premier Schools
40 - 50 maps to 40 - 55
50 - 65 maps to 55 - 72.5
65 - 80 maps to 72.5 - 87.5
80 - 100 maps to 87.5 - 100

(There is more mobility for average students.. less for below average and top performers... top guys don't really need reservations.. they perform well anywhere.. and I am not clear yet about what to do to students who fail.. )

There are distinct advantages of this approach:
a) Eliminates caste/creamy layer/politics and other crap in determining the availability of seats in colleges..
b) Educational factors decide whether a person is eligible or not for a seat.
c) Pass percentage/ resources of a school is measurable and usually publicly declared. Whereas people dont want to always declare their income (this is where creamy layer logic doesnt work)..
d) Deserving students get better mobility in the scale I have given.
e) Automatic correction can be introduced.. as the status of the school increases due to better results etc, the school may get out of the reservation bucket.. However the current system is such that no OBC/SC/ST/BC/MBC wants reservation to end because he claims that his clan is still backward.. A school cannot hide its progress. At the same time.. parents wont want to send their kids to schools where there is low pass percentage.. so schools HAVE to improve.. Ultimately the gap between the levels of exposure of students will come down and so will the requirement for reservation.

Answer 4

Most unwanted thing happened to middle class people after independence is "reservations". SCs & others can be given reservations only for limited period. Now even after five decades, they continue as vote bank at the cost of middle class (many of whom may be again OCs or BCs or even Madigas in SCs also). Mentors of this concent like Gandhi should be blamed for the rot present middle class are facing. It is high time only MERIT is given place in education and in public life then middle class who cannot revolt and who cannot beg for their rights can be placed well in the society.

Answer 5

Middle class is the worst sufferer in the reformation age. Reservation should be taken in a matured spirit. It is correct it has become a vote bank issue, but we should not forget the trauma of socially backward classes. We can not comapre such people with economically backwardness.

Answer 6

We students coming from middle class family will have to suffer forever and our coming generation will have no future. Lets raise our voice once again and have our fight of independence. The government this time plays the role of british government in india before 1947. Lets play the role of bose,azad,bhagat singh. Lets make another rang de basanti... Jai hind...

Answer 7

Best brains of the society come from this middle class.
U may observe that neither rich/politicians are in their favour nor poor.

RESERVATION is of CREAMY LAYER, for CREAMY LAYER & BY CREAMY LAYER.

HAVE U EVER SEEN A POOR POLITICIAN?

MOBILISE PEOPLE TO MOBILISE FURTHER TO FORM A PARTY BELIVING MERIT & MEANS.

IT SHALL BE A GODLY ACT.

Answer 8

The middle class in any case seems to be doomed in India.
