WHEN IT STARTS IT WAS FOR THE SOCIETY OF SOME POOR PEOPLE.  BUT NOW A DAYS IT IS BECAUSE OF POLITICS.

I'm sourthern Indian and I'm ashamed to say that the caste system stays alive and well here. (It's worse in the North with added problems.) Many of us throw all of these out and believe every human being is the same as the other. There is no 'low' and no 'high'. Consider this the same as racism. Most of them are not fortunate to break away from the caste system, because of the way they've been brought up -  to think that this is 'right'. It's going to take a very long time for India to turn around. Having said that, we've got lots of beauty in our people too and most of my friends have married people from other communities and inter-racially too :-) Of course, the whole bunch is judged by one bad apple. Pity, this opinion will stick, untill the entire problem goes away.

Nothing is bad or good in its own stead. It is the way it is used, implemented and taken up which makes it bad or good. In India reservation was and is used to please some people and get quick votes, be it SC&ST provisions in constitution which was original for 15 years or implementation of Mandal commission after years of lying in bag. There are many aspects of reservation. It is fact there are some strata of society who need support to rise from their current status of poverty or backwardness.\n\nHowever there is opposition for reservation because the benefit of it are not going to actual people rather they are taken up by some people of these society who are already in up class are taking up these benefits whereas actual needy people are still at the same place. No one will object if a really needy get the benefit, You and all are furious since it is someone who is not needy who is reaping benefit.\n\nAs far as making economic condition as criteria is concerned, there is always good and bad of all thoughts. Good about this will be that this should be the correct way of deciding giving help however there are too many lacuna in this as getting certificate for economic background is very easy to get since no one file income tax return and there no proof of incomes for people other than salaried people so what will happen ultimately is again people who do not deserve the benefit will get it and needy will remain eluded with this.\nI agree that when it comes to job then what we need is competent people in jobs to provide proper service and let our country grow. It is wrong to say the people who need help to rise first time are not competent but what is required is that we bring them up and educate and train them so that they are competent enough to take up the challenges. Now if we talk about getting a doctor without enough skills. This is often repeated example but what we fail to understand that a person cannot be a doctor just by getting admission in medical college. S/he became doctor after passing out from the college. If we say that college examination system is such that they will pass person without knowledge then problem does not lie in reservation in admission but in examination system which required to be looked into. Having said that if education system is not good and it will allow person without skill to get the degree then what is guarantee that a person who has come by other route let us by paying higher fees or something and for that matter what is guarantee that a person who have scored 90+ marks is good in medical study. So then we are running risk of many doctors without skills operating on us. So this argument that if the person has come with reservation will be not competent doctor is not correct. If a person has passed MBBS (s/he can be anyone reserve one or other) and do not know how to use scalpel and then we should hung all the teachers who have taught them, people who have set the papers  and all the examiners who has taken their practical exams and checker who checked their examination papers.\n\nSo mantra for anything to be good and successful is honest implementation of the same.

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.

its simple vote bank politics. and why only the congress. no other party has opposed it. they don't want to loose their share of obc and sc st votes. even the bjp has not spoken on it. clearly shows that the parliament at present is full of rotten demented politicians who care only for their power\n\nnow coming back to the main point ; -\n\nreservation as such should not completely be removed. i agree with you. the basis should be monetary as i have stated in one of my earlier answers on the same topic.\n50% is not required considering the fact that so many seats remain vacant. \nit should be ensured that once a person from the backward class gets reservation his following generations should not be allowed to avail this opportunity because that is gross injustice. and once in office he should not be given the privilege of early promotion which is extremely unfair. and also people from the backward section earning decent money should not be given reservation (unlike one of my friends who is an sc and is in iit.. he didn't deserve reservation beacuse.his parents annual income was 7 lakhs.. imagine!!)\n\nthere are olny two sections rich and poor. extend the reservation to the poor.\n\nand also reservation at each and every step will handicap the person mentally and he will never put the best effort into his work beacuse it will be at the back of his mind that he has an advantage over others..

The British divided this country on basis of religion now our own politicians and countrymen are doing the same on basis of caste.Why is there no reservation on basis of merit and financial position,caus the politicos fear their seats might be taken by educated people .Then there would be no fools to run this country.Brahmins are becoming the real minority and aliens here.For the politicians of this country votes are above the welfare of their countrymen.

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.

In India the caste system has lessened to the point that now some people believe that there is a reverse caste system. Because of quotas and places reserved strictly for scheduled castes/tribes [previously referred to as untouchables] Brahmins often have problems competing with the so-called lower castes.\nThe caste system was fought from the beginning by people of all castes, such as Gandhi and others, who opposed the practice.

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.

Reservation policy of India is the worst policy which has deteriorated the development of India.  In future, India has to fight with Bangladesh in first place in courruption and low standard of living, thanks to this reservation policy.

If the reservation were any answer to the problem, it would have been long ago. It has benefited more the politicians - not only the politicians of the reserved category but other politicians of non-reserve category as well. It has created problems for the other - very few - meaningful persons. It is the game of power snatching  nothing more than that. What is the meaning of reservations for the children of politicians or people of creamy layer. Simply game of politics.

I am against reservation of any type. It should be done away with. The politicians are playing with it just for vote.

i don't support reservation based on caste. but the ruling parties with an aim to capture power through vote bank politics implementing caste based reservation. even the kith and kin of ministers, judges, parliament members, ias and ips officers , though in any way not back ward either socially or economically occupying seats in colleges and government jobs.even after 60 years of independence the sons of cobbler remained as a cobbler and the sons of scavengers remained as scavengers. what a shame'. creamy layer are to not to enjoy reservation benefits.reservation policy should be extended only to the people in below poverty line irrespective of caste, creed and religion.

I am able to understand your feeling. I am also a person not eligible for reservation. In my opinion, there is still some justification for some categories of socially backward classes. But, I am of the firm view that this special dispensation should be only for a limited period and cannot extended for a time in perpetuity. If backwardness will continue despite reservation, there is justification for reservation. Creamy layer concept is a welcome one and is in line with the spirit of rationalisation of reservation.

obviously , the governoment should provide the OBC reservation  for the ppl who are participating in the sports also , if they \nprovide reservation for theOBC'S in the education  . \n\nBut it is difficult task to fight in this situation now ( as we are trying not to get any OBC'S reservation ).\n\nBut we can't see the fights for the quotas in the sports also \nbecoz  it consists of only 11 members(very few members) .
