Is reservation policy working well?

IAS officer or any class one officer who is well paid by Government of India should their children should be granted reservation or not. This is a question in mind of many who are considering reservation policy incorrect


Historically if we view this fact they are those people of the society which had no right to improve their condition they were treated badly not because they were poor they were poor because of the treatment given to them by a higher social class which proclaimed themselves to be better on grounds of a system created by them to dominate. For this we will have to consider cultural setback and some boost needed for them to come forward.

But to improve their condition is the reservation policy correct?, with a view it can be observed that once a person is educated is on a very good position or working well, nobody would bother much, which reservation policy is doing well. It has brought many such people to a level at which they can lead their life respectfully. But even today it can be observed that even an IAS officer visits a house of an orthodox bramin family and that IAS officer is Dalit , then every thing he touched would be washed including the floor and sofa cover, there would be a separate crockery to welcome such guest. This is hard to accept but it is a definite truth, even today a dalit is hardly acceptable in intercaste marriages . You will find people being biased for a particular community and these guys are well educated.


This policy was suppose to remove this disparity, Is it actually working in that direction? It is a major question because when it comes to implementation part the way it has been implemented it has actually encouraged a new disparity, reserving a particular percentage of seats in colleges and Gov. organisation has lead to qualification of some who actually were not fit at all for that position, this has increased agony among those who were rejected even being a lot better for that position, it does happens some times the topper of a reserved category is not even close to general cuttoff .

This is certainly generating a disparity among them as the people are referred nowdays as" quata wala" or 'reserved banda' this is disappointing as many people are not ready to accept the fact that they need this boost as their are many still far behind even socially and economically. But this understanding is accepted from mature people what about those who start facing this reservation as competition at school level what impact does they have on them we cant expect them to be so mature. In what direction are we actually molding them. May be the case I discussed about bramin family will restrict to particular generation and the next generation kid would play with that IAS. After few year untouchables won’t exist but don’t you think a new categorization is developing "the quota wala candidate". Is it healthy? Is it the right measure? Isn't the mind set of people needed to be changed does this really doing that? Don't you think this is igniting anger against youngsters who think that reservation is not a fair means? What kind of upliftment is that which is making them a separate community? Well this can be seen among students, On reservation they would retaliate aggressively and would discuss with examples full of failure of reservation system. Somehow they are affected. Before preference was given to higher class now is it same as preference given to a some special class, disparity is still there,some steps are needed.
