The whole world has been talking and protesting about racism sometime or the other. We have seen revolutions in the past brewed out of racism. In India there is a system called the reservation system. It means that all government jobs will be divided into particular preferences basis the caste of the candidates. For example, if a Public Sector Unit (Government Company) posts 100 fresh jobs for a particular position, a limited percentage of these positions will be reserved for general category, the scheduled castes, the scheduled tribes and other backward classes respectively. The same scenario is with government colleges like engineering and medical colleges run by the government. There is a joint entrance exam which is held once in a year throughout the country and millions of students appear for these exams to get an admission in a government medical or engineering college. The ratio of the seats as against the number of candidates is around 1:1000 approximately or more. This means that there is fierce competition amongst the candidates. Now out of the total number of seats, a big chunk is reserved for scheduled caste candidates and so on. The number of scheduled castes, tribes and other backward class candidates is not much as compared to the general category candidates. Hence the general category candidates have stronger competition. It is seen that the admission for the general candidates stops at around 85% marks scored whereas the reserved category students get admission in as less as 25% marks scored in the entrance exam. The reason for this is that there is much less candidature falling under the quota for the reserved class. This process is gradually leading to an imbalance and also the trickling fall of the education standards.
The reservation system was brought in to uplift the backward classes of India. The concept is good but the methodology is wrong. Firstly, most of the backward class people live in villages and lead a very simple life. They do not have the financial strength to get their children educated in cities. Most of the backward class people cannot even make use of the reservation system. On the other hand, the general class people or the upper caste people are not getting a chance to sit on the seat because there is tough competition and the seats are less. Thirdly, the reservation system has deepened the distinction and discrimination among the citizen of India. There is increased unrest between people of two different castes after the reservation system was initiated.
The correct methodology of reservation should be on the basis of financial level of the Indian families. The poorer you are, the more benefit you get. There have been several debates on this issue across the country. Every time the conclusion is that the political leaders, to gain their own personal objectives are dividing and misleading the citizen of India. These politicians are only interested in vote banking. They have never been committed to the development of the country but they have always kept their own development as the top priority.
