Reservations Uncalled For

What does the central government wishes to do is beyond comprehension. They have proposed to add reservation of OBC in centrally funded institutions. Thus, making the total reservation, to 49.5%. Now what bothers me most is that Manmohan Singh government has done it out of the blue, when there wasn’t any demand for this. This is a total appeasement policy Reservations were meant to be abolished after 50 years of independence. Now more avenues are being searched including the reservation in private jobs as well.

Amidst this what is being expected of the general students apart from angst anguish and hatred against the people who got reservation. These politicians are hell bent on creating the rift between the persons of different categories. Now there are many people from upper caste who don’t have the means. While the benefit of reservation is going to only the people who have already availed them. Why do they need reservation when they entered a professional college and also when they need jobs? They are the multiple beneficiaries. Why not there be a policy of once in a lifetime usage of reservation. I am sure that this will help the wider populace of the reserved category people.

But then what will happen to the vote-bank of the politicians. So it’s never going to be implemented and hence so much of this. Congress was doing so well in itself and now it has done blunders for such petty gains in state elections. It’s just that one feels alien to in one own country, just because he is from upper caste. It’s much more equality in USA where I don’t think that there is such a policy. Now every bright Indian has much more opportunity in foreign land than theirs own homeland.

Maybe we aren’t getting the inner meaning of the policy right. By legislating this they wish to make more NRI’s which then bring the green bills back to their so called homeland which provided such laws that one was forced to study and work abroad.
