Reservation has affected a lot of students in India. It is a system that allows Indian government to reserve a certain percentage of seeds in educational institutions, jobs and even in political sector for socially and economically backward classes. The makers of our Indian Constitution wanted to ensure adequate representation of all the sections of the society. The main motive of this positive discrimination was advancement and uplifting of the lower sections that were oppressed by the upper sections of the society
Well said Khushi. I think reservation is Terminator discrimination. The Indian Constitution is quite weird to justify reservation while at the same time maintaining that all are inquiring. Nobody should be discrimination on the basis of caste, religion and community, et cetera. This Constitution contradicts itself in providing for a reservation on the basis of caste. Nowhere in any democracy in the world reservation has been justified in the Constitution except in India, thereby making a mockery of the most self evident truth that all are born equal

I absolutely agree the politicians have made our Indian Constitution hypocrite. I really respect our original Indian Constitution because there was a proper limit of this reservation and all but now they have started to misuse it and it has all become a part of their good bank politics

Hi Khushi I agree with you at some points like how our honorable former Prime Minister Javaan Ali was totally against the reservation based of only just cast but you know reservation is important in today's world because there are people who are actually in need of reservation but the main drawback is they are not aware of the reservation policies properly and due to which some hideous people take advantage of these reservation policies leading to exploitation of general category students according to me the only thing that is required is propaganda for awareness

For example, in this reservation system, while keeping the cast based policy intact, a bracket for financial status should also be added. Also, a proper verification method can be installed to prevent people from entering via false documents. This will ensure that people are genuinely in need, only they will be able to take the advantage of this policy. Do you think that this method could be acceptable

So what I am trying to say is that money is one factor but giving financial aid to every human being is not a good practice my opinion because then hideous people and many privileged people will also come in this category which can be really harmful

And also I don't feel that reservation in any capacity has promoted talent because when we talk about the cut offs or the entrance score or even job requirements for the people who are in reserve category it's really minimal that a general category student can attain without even putting any effort. So I don't think reservation promotes talent. Also I agree with you that providing financial support to everyone is not a good practice

Yes, I agree with you. It's because of reservation that all the people who have done the hard work and who deserve the seats at all don't get it and later on they lie jobless and all the people who don't deserve it get the opportunities just because of their caste. So this practice should be reduced. And as you mentioned, that for the people who are rich the car does not really matter
