Protest Reservation ...
....One should not be reserved after all :-) ..well not to make a light of the serious issue ...However Reservation in India is something which became a neccesity maybe due to serious social conscoiusness or as a penance of Higher Caste Politicians of 50s or by sheer political motive .
Reservation is here to Stay ! ........Read on ..i have not subscribed to it yet !
I believe that some may have been genuinely benefitted from reservation ...and i know some may have been devasted . I also believe that everyone can perform to a certain level given an oppurtunity . However some may have been snatched the oppurtunity itself even though he or she was good .
Now what i don't believe is the utopian correctness of theory of reservation on the basis of caste alone . Since reservation is done for upliftment of socially backward section ...that means according to statistics which Govt has , lower caste people are the poorest .
Now , this also means that those who have been given reservation in 50s are also poor now ! This is not true as they would have surely have a life which is better and they need not really need a reservation as they have already been uplifted .What is happening now is that even this community of Uplifted lower caste will have the piece of bread where they can themselves get the pie .
In this country where hardly few businessman pay taxes to their correct income , we cannot even do reservation on the basis of income ! As a socialist country it will be a failure if a rich businessman is paying nothing for his ward and getting the seat which could have gone to someone who really needs that concession .
So , the policy should be such that there should be check on the economical capabilty of the predecessor of the ward to really make him or her eligible for the seat . it is something which maybe in combination of caste since statistics do show that majority in the country who are poor are from lower caste . This policy will amalgamate all section of the society who will really need reservation .After all in a socialist country we have to bring everyone at par .A socio-economic angle is important in this sensitive issue which is almost divinding the country .

Agreed. My cousin got her medical seat under reservation. Irrespective of the fact that she belong s to the General Category..and her father could have afforded a paid seat.More than use..ther is more of misuse!
