Reservation is Necessary!

Yea you heard it right, it is necessary! Let me tell you that firstly I am not a beneficiary of the same and secondly if you feel the system of reservation is bad then probably you are amongst those thousands who are oblivious beings grazing this planet. Also, if you are a beneficiary of the reservation system and you are exploiting this system because a stupid administrator cannot keep a check on you, then you are the worst thing that can happen to this planet. Take time and read this before making a judgement.

India has been a hub of reservation stir ever since, whether it is minority reservation, the Jat reservation, SC/ST reservation etc. Unfortunately for our country the system is ridiculed by dubious intentions of power hungry perverts. Let us understand what this system is in the first place:

A baby is born in the family; this baby in all probability receives special attention and care of all. At this instance other members should not feel animosity towards the baby for getting more attention since this baby is incapable of surviving on his own. When this baby grows up to be a man or woman and has been educated enough to survive on his own then these special privileges have to be withdrawn.  This is simply the meaning of reservation! Now consider a case where the parents don’t teach this baby the basics of life and keep pampering him/her beyond the necessary, this baby grows up to become a nuisance to the society and exploits the resources in every possible way.

Similarly, reservation to people in govt jobs, schools etc were provided to economically lower placed people so as to uplift them, but when capable people start exploiting these facilities for self-profit, we go wrong. We go further wrong when well -to-do leaders start manipulating masses to keep their power position intact. And the system is finally doomed resulting in chaos and overexploitation of all resources when people who are capable start looking at easy way out for personal gratification.

The problem with the implementation of this beautiful system lies in the corruption and dirty game play of few. The reservation is divided basis cast and creed rather than need and all the more there are no limits or withdrawal points. Once provided, the facilities become a taken for granted right to live for generations of this person.

We must understand that the meaning of reservation is not grant, whether it for a seat in bus or in a college. Moreover, reservations in jobs must be withdrawn if the society is to do good for itself. Reservation in case of scarcity of resources should be limited to the level of colleges. Once a person is capable enough, he or she should compete with others for the position. Reservations should also be limited for his/her future generations.

If we need to establish a prospering society, system implementation is the most important part. Reservation is necessary to check on weaker links in the society and strengthen them. Rationing is important and checks have to be there to ensure that corrupt are not unnecessarily facilitated.
