Reservations a known reality, yet ineffective..

With 21% reservation for the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes and 27% for backward classes..welcome to the main stream..Pretty alluring right??
Let me as you a simple question who forms the main stream? You me, everybody reading this arcticle..Give me a frank answer how many of you consider them your equal? How many of you have let them into your heart as your friend, a loved one?
How many of you consider them your equal?
Here reservation isn’t questionable, it is it’s effect, has it really helped the marginalized sections join the main stream? I’ll say that though reservation is a known reality yet it hasn’t been able to fulfill its basic aim.
This reservation, essentially a dragnet of politics, seems to have been made with an overview to promote the marginalized classes, yet without insight into their build up.
The marginalized sections seem to follow the hereditary business hierarchy it being a blacksmith, a weaver or a daily worker. A child when he grows up to be old enough to help is put into same grueling work that his forefathers had been doing. here awareness does play a key role. These people need to be advised educated and made aware that leaving the family business and following an academic carrier will lead to better conditions for living. With more than 80% of the population of the marginalized sections living in the rural areas, how can we say that reservation has been affective?
A survey by the National Sample Survey Organization of India (NSSO) in 1999 showed the percentage of OBC’s to be 35%, which has risen to 41%in the next survey in 2005.
Now, this seems to point to a completely different story…not every OBC or SC, ST is in need of reservation. The increasing percentage seems to points to the fact that people who had taken the benefit of reservation in their time, and had risen to the same financial status like any of us are now promoting their own kids for the same benefit, rather than letting those who really need it take the benefit.
So tell me where is the marginalized section getting the benefit??people among them are themselves marring the efforts of the government to help their brothers just have one suggestion to make, rather than keeping this reservation on the basis of cast, it should be in the basis of economical status so that people who really need help, whatever be their cast or religion are benefited.
May be one of you reading this might one day go on to be the next education minister, so just think about it.
