Aarakshan- The both sides of Reservation P-1

   RESERVATION is GOOD if it makes a poor child  IAS, IPS or administrator but is a virus if it gives its service to Son or daughter of a tycoon or an administrator through hereditary cycle!

Reservation is a policy which was introduced in order to bring all the sections of society on one level . Conceptually it provides easy education ,job etc to those who had been or are minority or are/were ill treated by wrong elements.But overtime reservation has lost its true meaning.
 If we dig a bit deeper into the contemporary reservation  then we will realise that this reservation is actually not serving those  who lack resources and are vulnerable to financial torture.
Lets see why
SC,ST OBC candidates who belong to well off families and whose parents are officer, teachers, administrators and even IAS or IPS again get the benefit of participating in RESERVATION due to which those SC,ST n OBC candidates whose families and surroundings lack resources have to face unfair competition from former.

This competition is unfair because former candidates have access to all sorts of books,coaching etc while latter mostly have access to least of these things.

Because of this the well off  kids fill up most of the the 50% slot(50% is the max reservation that can be collectively allotted to SC/ST/OBC ) , thus leaving very little for those candidates who actually need it.

Hence, present form of reservation is nothing but a heredity service to the children of well off families who belong to a reserved community.

Moreover reservation was meant to be a kinetic policy that upgrades itself with demographic and social changes .

And these 'demographic and social ' factors have changed a lot overtime. Nowadays bad financial or social condition don't attack after verifying one's caste or community.
Despite all this no appropriate changes were made in reservation. It was forcefully made a static policy due to satisfy the greed of vote banks in the mind of political leaders.
 Politicians are not the only one to be blamed , voters who keep their caste in mind while voting should be equally blamed for this mess.

Is this the goal for which Reservation was given ? Is this fair to those who really need this reservation? Is it?

NO! it isn't. you and your soul know this but maybe your caste is blocking your vision!
