With all this reservation frenzy
around me ,a thought struck me if reservation is more of a luxury rather than a
support. Its like we got numbers and free time to strike, let’s be OBC, it’s in nowadays. Lets don’t change for 60 years and then riot
for being officially labelled as a handicapped community.. Being backwards out
of choice and lack of will is the prerequisite for being reserved. Inform me if
i am missing anything, but i don’t understand how being a poor Brahmin means
more opportunities than a poor dalit. Building a nations workforce out of
appeasing communities can have dangerous consequences .No wonder ,private
sector is bringing all the investment in. Just pray that mayawati doesn’t stage anshan
for reservation in Microsoft or oracle. DMK manifesto is promising
reservation in private sector.It is more sensible to have a sectional lottery
instead. Might fetch us some actually deserving candidates. Even after 60 years
of continous reservation, the parties are taking pride in providing and expanding
reservations while the other way round would be progress. But then again, a
cheerleader team has a collective IQ and common sense more than our esteemed
leaders.What could be more pathetic than this situation. Where the leaders are
dalit ki beti rather than desh ki beti. Obviously when it comes to votes,
common sense goes to dogs. A poor upper caste is more able than poor lower
caste. This assumption automatically assigns more divinity to upper class
voiding the whole idea of equality. Analogically, a Brahmin farmer from
vidarbha who might have committed suicide doesn’t need aid as opposed to a SC
IAS officers son. Gosh,the caste factor must have been tough on him. Common sense would say protect the poor. But
hey when has common sense ever prevailed in India. That’s even rare than an
Olympic medal. Our leaders fail to understand that the current caste based
model could be defective or misused if it hasn’t been able to ensure equality
even after 60 years .But why would they introspect if further exploiting
fetches them votes. They say “Give a man a fish, you would feed him for a day, teach
him to fish , you feed him for life. What works in our country is teach a man
to fish, give a free fishing rod ,reserve a sea patch for him, fetch him extra
prices on his produce, get him a subsidised boat, get him subsidized petrol and
do the same for his son again and again. Apparently, they are genetically
handicapped. I beg to differ strongly, but that’s what a sane man could infer
from the current situation. A common argument by reservation enthusiasts is
that everyone has a right and the division should be proportionate to various
classes. Correct me if i’am wrong, but didn’t exams use to work on merit and
merit commanded eligibility. If the facilities are to proportionate, why care
for merit, a lottery would work just fine. These people seem to have forgotten
three words-merit, test, eligibility. Overzealous insecure enthusiasts might
label me a casteist, but i am the least casteist guy if you care to sit down and think with
your head for a change .But then again, blackening faces and vandalism is more
tempting than actually using our head. I would like to conclude by saying that
what was once aimed to create equality is the one actually polarizing. Just
think !!
