CASTE RESERVATION : A curse for all



Introduction
I had read in childhood that India is a secular country where people from different society live. Everyone has equal rights from government if he is a citizen of India. I have learnt many dialogues of Gandhi ji as to help poor and dalits and to not to discriminate with them. But when i grew old i came to know that these things are just to post in NCERT books. We shouldn't take it seriously. We just have to learn them and earn marks in the examinations.
One day i woke-up early in the morning i got a chance to talk to the newspaper hawker that comes to my home daily. Actually I have to pay his bills. While talking to him I came to know that he's a science graduate and is selling newspapers in lack of a job and money. He has also got many awards during his graduation for good academic performance. After being failed in numerous attempts in competitive exams he has no other option left instead selling newspapers. When I tried to inquire more he replied sir my name is Mohan Mishra and this is the only reason of my failure.
Similarly I remember a case in my neighborhood where a student from my old school has committed suicide by cutting his wrist. According to his parents statement he committed the crime due to the continuous failure in JEE entrance. He has scored 4 marks less than the cutoff for general. Every one including police was considering him as a victim. But I don't know why my heart was not ready to accept that. I'm definitely not in support of such an activity and respect the law. But I can't decide what was his fault. Isn't just being a General a cause of his death. If he were a Backward he must be at an IIT like his other friends who have scored much lesser than him.
If we talk about the cities and towns we don't know even the names of our neighbors because nobody cares for that. You will definitely get a salute at the gate if you are rich, content or wealthy. From household servants to the industry CEOs everyone is ranked according to his performance. It is possible that a goldsmith is working in a steel factory and a blacksmith is working in a Nakshatra show room. And both of them are performing well in their work. They don't want to tag them with their caste. Instead they feel a little ashamed of that.
One day I got a chance to discuss this with a well to do reserved category person. And I asked him about the same. In answer to my question he represented many facts and stories from past when they we're ignored. He is very happy that his son has got admission in IIT Delhi in reserved category. Maybe he is correct in his facts from his past but still I don't understand that how the boy who owns a MERCIDIES need reservation more than my newspaper hawker.
Cast reservation is very dangerous too. A less experienced doctor is harmful to all whether you're a General or a Backward class. Similarly a less educated teacher can ruin the basics of a child from any category.
It is also making damage to the reserved people. Being less content he/she has to face so many problems in the educational institutions or the place they work. Recently IIT Roorkee expelled 72 students from 1st year because of their bad academic performance in the semester exams. And around 80 percent of them belong to reserved castes. According to those students they feel more ashamed and ignored than they have ever felt earlier. However administration has given them a second chance.
Governments mus do something for these conditions. But in India Government will never put any effort ending all these because hardly any millionaire MLA has suffered from these conditions. Reservation is like a renewable fuel for their vote bank engines. They will never let anybody stop these engines.
I am not saying that reservation should be banned or stopped but the domain of people receiving it must be changed. Otherwise it will not take years to a requirement of General category reservation too. Government can help the poor who are not using reservation in their fields and ploughing continuously instead giving it to a MERCIDIES owner Mahadalit.

The ideas presented here are a general view of a common person it is not to provoke anybody. With all respects to every cast if any line in the paragraph leads to a hurt of any sentiment i am always sorry for that.
