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!

Ridiculous!!!!!\nHe n UPA govt, seems to play vote bank politics.\nI tel u no party is gonna oppose this rule as they fear to loose SC/ST votes.\nThey take votes of General Category 4 granted.So,all Open Category people must get united to oppose this act of dividing our society.\nIt threatens country's integrity.\nIITs n IIMs r pride,brands of India, produce best talent n there is no place 4 any criteria other than merit.\nTo enhance the status of backward class people we should spend large money n time at grass root levels like primary schools,secondary schools n make them able 2 compete 4 IITs n IIMs because \nAs Abraham Lincoln said :\n"Democracy ensures equal opportunities not equal enviornments"

as long as they are worth it , obc's can use reservation but misusing it is seriously bad . apart from that increasing the no. of seats is no solution to this problem as after 5 years it will give rise to unemployment.

At the Class XI level, this is decided by the schools. The medical colleges do not come into the picture. They look at Class XII results and to appear at the enterance exams, usually , you require about 50 percent.

According my point of view there should be no such reservations for anyone,it is because of these reservations that our country is going bad to worse...whoever wants to do somthing worhtwhile in life work hard and gain success ...merit is the step by which any qualification should be achieved,,,not caste or religion....

to begin with the power to amend the constitution lies in the appointed leader (and what leaders have we chosen- disgraceful and shameful) and not the people..\n\nthis problem is not a new one.. it is simple vote bank politics.. inspite of the protests the government is going ahead with its decision. and its not only the party in power the congress all the other parties like bjp are keeping their mouth shut because they want to protect their precious backward class votes.\n\nreservation was first introduced for the sc and sts before independence. sc (sched. castes)-15% and st(sched. tribes) 7.5% in public sector jobs and educational insttns...\n\nthen in 1990 the mandal commission implemented 27% reservation for other backward classes(long list....)in public sectors.\n\nnow they want to extend this to educational insttns and the private sector..\n\nimagine this situation. a person who is getting advatage at every point has this at the back of his mind all the time and doesn't put in 100% into his work. it makes them mentally handicapped...\n\ni believe their are only 2 sections- rich and poor.\nwhat the need of the hour is reservation based on monetary basis and not caste..

I have been regularly watching the doctor's protest against reservation policies of government, at the same time some more\n\ngroups are upcoming with them and all this is going on without knowing the facts, and if they feel that they know everything\n\nthen kindly answer some basic questions.\n\n1.who are they to decide that backward classes need resrvation or not? \n\n2.Do they realy know what a backward person faces in his life? \n\n3.Do they really want selection of students on merit basis?If yes,than why they oppose only caste based reservation and\n \nwill they oppose the other kind of QUOTA called as MANAGEMENT QUOTA or NRI QUOTA.IF all the protest is based on the SO\n \nALLED concept of merit,will the protestant also oppose the private medical and engineering college;giving birth to SO \n\nCALLED MERITORIOUS students by engulfing a big price? \n\n4.Do they believe that merit come with caste or with money? \n\n5.If they believe that reservation can pull the country backward,than why & How the SOUTH INDIAN STATES like TAMILNADU,\n\nKERALA,ANDHRAPRADESH & KARNATAK are more developed than the states of north india?Though there is average 60% reservation \n\nis present in both GOVERNMENT & PRIVATE SECTOR. \n\n6.Don't they know that resrvation has not only helped to contribute in providing equality in economical aspects of life\n \nbut also in social aspect of life?\n \n7.Don't they believe that the backward people of general category also need resrvation for equal upbringing of nation?\n \n8.Do they think that India is Free from caste,gender and religious bias and reservation will blow this fire?than I think\n\n they have never visited the rural India where not only the souls of India lives but also lives reasons of all kind of \n\nbiases.\n\nIf people will answer these 8 question,they will realise the truth behind their protest.That is neither related with MERIT\n\n nor with QUOTA,but hidden in own evils of upbringing in WELL-BIASED society.Instead of opposing the the resrvation we \n\nshould demand healthy education that can clean our prejudices.We should demand resrvation for those who realy need that.We \n\nshould demand a SURNAME FREE india so that EKLAVYA & ARJUNA both can serve the nation equally without any BIAS.

Oh GREAT!!!!!!!.  I welcome this reservation.  S.T,  S.C &  B.Cs are suffering since many many years without proper chance in Indian Cricket Team.  Let their people get share in Indian Cricket Team.  Let them enjoy the Cricket and let them earn Cricket money.  \n\nEven the Cricket match tickets should be sold on reservation basis.

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 have never seen an OBC certificate but can tell you what the creamy layer is in genral..\nconsider this :-\na friend of mine got into iit because he was an sc..his parents annual income was 7 lakhs per annum.. (which is huge)..and definitely he didn't deserve reservation.. political leaders by introducing the quota bill have ensured the backward class vote.. but not even once have they objected the CREAMY LAYER from taking undue advantage of reservation.. sadly there is no provision to ensure that  this does not happen..

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

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.

reservations are total disaster for any country. no government has the right to play with the potential of its youth. \nbesides giving reservations, there should be financial aid given to these students and for that matter any deserving student through scholorships and other means.

I am not sure if recently some changes happen but as far as I remember Arjunsingh is minister of the H.R.D....\n\nBut anyways admissions should be based on qualifications rather just been in some Category and to hold that seat for someone just because they call them self minority  does not make sense and is not fair to deserving candidate...\nIt should be purely only based on credits...

It is already abolished.\n\nNow a days it only surviving because of "reservation" and vote politics.\n\nReservaed quota is deviding the society today not the ancient cast system.
