THE GREAT INDIAN RESERVATION SYSTEM

The Reservation System on the bases of caste is one of the biggest speed-breaker in the path of a developed India. Here are my views regarding the topic-

Our Prime Minister Mr Narendra Modi talks about a strategy called 'SABKA SAATH SABKA VIKAS' (Taking everyone together and ensuring development for everyone).
Now most people in India (including our governments) think that ensuring reservation in government jobs, colleges.etc for the backward communities may solve the problem of a wide gap that is being created between the rich and the poor people of our country.
To an extent this policy is justified as most people (approximately 60%) belonging to the communities who enjoy reservation in this country have an incredibly disgusting standard of living.
Even clean drinking water is not available to them,forget about food and other resources.
These people truly deserve to have some seats reserved for them for the sake of an uplift in their standards of living.
A person this poor deserves to be enlisted for reservation in the country.But the problem is, not every poor person in India gets to exploit the system of reservation.
The reservation is amended for the people belong to a particular caste or community(no matter how poor or how rich they are).
For instance, if you are a Yadav(OBC), you'll have the benefit of reservation no matter if you drive a Bentley, but if you are a Sharma(GENERAL) and you struggle for your basic needs like electricity, food, water.etc , there will be no system to help you. You don't get the reservation, you don't get a damn thing to help you!
That is the problem!
If we want to ensure the development for all, our help must reach to the last person out there.. doesn't matter which community he/she belong to.
My stand is not against the reservation, my stand is against the people who are benefiting from it even though they don't deserve it.

Think about a system where the reservation does prevail but, the poor people benefit from it, not people belonging to certain caste or communities.
If you are poor(doesn't matter which community you belong to), you get the benefit of reservation which you truly deserve as your preparation may have been affected by poverty and countless other factors.
In this way, no one would have any problem with this system and the help will definitely reach to the last person out there.
Hope this message of mine reaches to those fighting over more and more reservations for their community and those who try to politicize this issue...and moreover to the lawmakers.


Think about it people.. We need to help the poor in general. Not a particular community.

Those who fall under the category of POOR, shall be recognized as such, not as Hindu, Muslim, Dalit or something!
Poor is poor!
Give poor the benefit of reservation.
And those who need it, will automatically fall under that category...


Hope this post talked some sense into your heads...AS this is the only way to ensure SABKA SAATH, SABKA VIKAS!
