this reservation thing is wrong it is ruining our country.\nreseravation if necessary should be allowed at schooling level of education.\n If govt wants to give reservation  then it should give to those who r financially weak.This whole resrvation drama is pure votebank politics and is very dangerous for the future\nof INDIA.\nIn my opinion it is high time to correct our selves and eliminate this reservation system step by step this v can do by applying reservation plans as five year policies and work hard to remove any sort of differences created by politicians or anyone elseby punishing  them in hardest possible ways as per the law.

reservation makes more sense when done on monetary basis and the financial position and condition of a particular individual.. there are many rich people who take undue advantage of reservation just because they belong to some backward class. and with so many castes being added to the the obc list every year it does not make sense. there are sc's and st's which need reservation but this isnt the final and clear cut solution. the whole scenario needs to be viewed from a broader perspective not just cast and creed. the recent announcement of 50 % reservations has led to wide spread resentment which clearly shows that this is wrong. it is simple vote bank politics. i would like to conclude by saying that monetary terms are better.

I am from tamil nadu\ni was good student from middle class family\nmy dream was to study B.E. in 2001 i finished +12 at that time i lost my dream.\nRESERVATION RUINED MY DREAM, life, patriotism.\n\n"these reservations are not based on merit"\npolitician for their own benifit designed this system\nbut their sun or grand child is studying in abroad.\n\nTHERE SHOULD BE NO RESERVATIONS, ADMISSION MUST BE BASED ON MERIT\n\ngoverment should think alternative way for educating such groups also not based on caste basis but based on financian conditions\n\nso i strongly "DO NOT AGREE" with the reservation at the IIM's, IIT's

reserving seats for OBC's can only be described as "Sheer Lazyness". every time there is pressure on govt to do something for backward classes they come out with more reservation. developing resources takes time and money and it does not do much to develop vote banks so our supposedly clever politician come up with perfect excuse to avoid work. just promise something that will never be delivered. how many people are actually getting these jobs and seats anyway. and do you actually believe anyone benefits. \n\nthis is just simple politics. divide and rule. it would be better if everyone just refuse to accept reservations. OBC's included and force these crooks to justify their salary and perks for a change and do some real work.

Yes, reservations like in jobs and education may also come for legislatures. But the policy makers are unable to clear the women reservations bill since a long time due to lack of consensus between various political parties. If this is the case, there are various castes and religions in India, so we cannot expect reservations for MPs and MLAs in the near future.

Doom n gloom. Education is about making bright citizens. At a lower level when one begins school, reservation might help considering the backgrounds etc. When they grow to learn n fight, reservation will spoil the quality and bring in lethargy. Its a stupid decision. Students have no reservation about who is who - its the politicians who create all these. Sad and quite damaging decision. Did i not say Indian politicians are no different from African politicians and that is why sometimes even the defense minister is stripped n searched abroad. Would that happen to developed societies? Why is it happening to India - bcoz they deserve by their own deeds!

so if the program was completely filled with only indians, would you find this discrimination against other races? what if it was only white people, would it make a difference? my best guess at quota systems is that they are designed to prevent racial monopoly. ie all white schools have to let in other racial groups. the whole thing is racism regardless of fairness. no race should create a monopoly in any resource and then block out other races from having equal oppurtunity.  maybe this is not happening in your situation, then im sorry if your being discriminated against

Well a guy called Manu wrote a book called Manushastra around couple of thousand years ago.\n\nHe created classes of people\nBrahmins - Educated Class and also the preists\nKshatriyas - Warrior Class\nSudras - Untouchables, who were to do jobs that the above classes were not to do.\n\nWell in the begining, i do not think it was a great deal, as the reason for doing this classification was good at that point of time.\n\nOver a period of years it has been used by unscrupols elements in the society to their best use and during this that class of people have been left out of the mainstream of public life.\n\nWell over the period of years Govt of India is trying to bridge the gap and also make sure that there is no Untouchability in India, But i think now it is being used by the politicians to gain votes rather than to help them out.\n\nWell in modern India i do not think anyone is bothered about the other perons caste any more

No. U shouldnot classify the casts of students. POOR should be given some reservations and that should also be reduced in 5 years time to nil. If reservations to be made compulsory, then it should be the Parliament First, then Ministers.

Never. Private field was clear and was providing justice to all. By providing reservation, the words 'JUSTICE' and 'LIBERTY' and 'ERADICATION OF CASTE SYSTEM' would just become a mockery. Because doing so, they will commit a blatant mistake, the foreign companies will stop recruiting as they will no more have the proper access to quality and creme of INDIA. Indian companies will go to the dogs if these reserved castes and tribes come up and get appointed without any eligibility. Thus it will have a grave affect on our economy.

I am not a social expert on India.  I have had professors and friends growing up from there.  There are not political barriers to thier voting, but culrual barriers to them overcoming their "station" in life.  The way I was told, and please forgive me if I offend anyone, was that a person from a lower caste would nver marry, or get a job above their caste.  They could clean the toilets at a higher caste's persons house, but they would not clean their own!  they would have an even lower caste do that.  The lowest caste is the "untouchables" and this is not Elliot Ness.  \n\nAgain I not an expert, but have seen and studied how there can be no freedom, when it is not applied equally under the law, written or unwritten.  We in the USA had Jim Crow, the unwritten law of racial discrimination.\n\nI hope I did not muddy the water any more than it already was.

i just feel its unfair, i dont mean that there should be nothing for the scheduled class but it should be a small percentage but for a country like india where the politicians just want to maintain their postions its not possible without the vote bank of the poor. because of all this the country will loose out on students who have the potential to be successful

Definitely. The cast system in India is an example. Any type of class distinction based on race, color, creed or economic stature is considered racism.

Yes very much so. Apparently people are not reasonable enough to handle have this privilege. Sometimes one bad irresponsible person ruins it for all.

It is the scheduled castes, tribes, backward communities  that have benefited the most from this segregation. When Ambedkar envisaged reservation, he thought that within 40 years of Independence, all the castes would be assimilated and the Hindus will have one homogeneous caste.\n\nToday to the SC, ST, BC have been added minorities who have reservations in every aspect of life, right from preference in schools, to jobs, to everything in life.\n\nIt is said that one man cannot pay for the sin/s of another. The SC, etc say that my forefathers have looted, cheated, commit ed atrocities on them and I should pay for this by giving them various concessions. I have checked up my family history over three generations, I have not come across any case of any atrocity by my forefathers. So I am being paid for crimes that my ancestors never committed, just because appeasement of these segments will win votes for the politicians and assure them another six years in power.\n\nIronical, isn't it Ambedkar started the reservation policy to assimilate his people, all ta-ht it has ended up doing is increased awareness in segregation and chaos in the country!\n\nst

Yes they do have racism. The rich  have nothing to do with the dark skined poor except to use them as slaves. Little pay, no benefits. those who are the victims of racism the most are the native Aztec Indians. They are treated as 2nd class citizens by everyone. They where there be for anyone just like our Indians were.
