Reservations... Fair or unfair...
I say reservations are fair. Reservations are a surity, a guarantee that yes everyone can ... And each person in the nation will tomorrow be standing at similar levels...
Today, the nation is stretched out. If the born privilidged be the visage ... then the underprivilidged be the legs... And the middlemen all stretched into a 3.2 million sq km body.. Yes the nation makes big fat man...
Like we humans have proper and different systems for different organs.. The same way we, the people of different casts, societies and races are altered and unaltered blood. All of us run in the same big fat mass. Even the unfiltered blood passes through the most elite organ, the heart reserving their way through the veins. So, to me, sanding against reservation sounds just like cutting the veins so that impure blood does not enter the heart... Betterment is then just a dream! The fact then comes into say - cutting viens is merely suicide ... In this case it is the suicide of the nation!
I ask why isn't it fair? You, who has the resources and potential can work hard and get through hardest of examinations!
Now, think of those who never got a chance as yet! They niether have an encouragement nor the exposure! (Imagine would you ever get through these if no one ever insisted you to study and qualify these?)
Those once ever left out communities have now got a chance to rise... That's their ray of hope... That is their encouragement!
Also just because another person is getting an opportunity and we aren't does not mean that we excoriate its existance.
Reservation even if not your cup of benefit tea.. "It is fair". The privilidged got the opportunities by birth, the reserved earned it by law. Simple and clear!
Another argument that aims at shackling the feet of the supporters of reservation is that it discriminates people.
I ask, why? It never does divide... It unites different streams into one. This is all a societal tantrumic ideology. We the people shouldn't even think about the line of seperation between the reserved and unreserved. Classes and casts sit there up in our mind. All we need is to get over the discrimination there. Because here the change begins from within! We need to clear our concepts and ideals first!
Reservations have handed the less fortunate ones a rope, pulling them out of the vicious circle they have always survived in.
So reserve...
Reserve BUT to a "limit"!
Todays' practical senario goes this way. A poor man did not get a job just because he is nowhere reserved. Now HE needs reservation!
Today, why is my neighbour, who lived a life similar to me, having got a lower rank than me, sitting in the topmost university of the country?
Reservations!
He simply USED his anecestors' pain! THIS my friend was the loop hole! Reservations for the castes and tribes was a thought planted years back... But now times have changed.
The once ever left back classes are now empowered. For them reservations have worked their best. So, why are we dragging the same ideal over the years? Generations have come after that, empowered... And maybe many of them have overpowered the mightiest of the people! So do they need reservation now? I say no!
Reserve for those who need it. Donot scratch and pinch the scars of tomorrow... Heal the wounds of today. Donot empower the ones in power, spread enlightenment to the needy!
It is now time to wake up, see what is happening and respond to what the world needs. Reserve for the needy, donot merely oblige the empowered!
Now is the transformation era. Changes are a must! We now need proper systems to bring up the poor and unprivilidged, they need reservations. So now lets move out, think, act, reserve, respect!
