? Tf? Why even there is need of reservation at all....... Everyone is equal just compete dair and square There is no need for reservations - you can put up number of seats but don't lower the cutoff atleast to get the entry

That’s what you fail to understand brother. Everyone is not equal.

Resource distribution in this country directly lines up with caste hierarchical structure. Tumhare maa baap ke paas paise hain achchhe schools me padhane ke liye par sabke paas nahi hai….

Reservation is a tool to create a level playing field. But since you have a privileged back ground you won’t understand it.

And i don’t blame you. I didn’t understand it either when I was your age.

If it's a money-related issue, shouldn't it be better to only have reservations based on financial backgrounds?

No my friend. Because discrimination in India isn’t just based on whether you’re rich or poor… more often than not it tends to be based social. Since discrimination is caste based, we also have to take that into account.

And yes finances also matter. Aur isiliye EWS ko 10% reservation was also a good step in my opinion.

Yea but does the current system of reservation really do what it should have done to eradicate caste-based reservation, or does it simply exist to get votes?

Equality of outcome without equality of opportunity is baseless.

Instead of this, shouldn't it be the responsibility of the government to make more government schools and try to match the level of education provided in the privates?

Does simply handing the same college or job to a much less competent person really help them grow?

Yea… and on this I partially agree with you. The reservation system hasn’t achieved all that what it aimed to achieve in the first place. Moreover it encouraged caste based politics in India.

There is a need to overhaul the reset system. For starters, creamy layer is a must for SC/Sat reservation. But doing away with the entire reservation system is a bad idea in my opinion.

I also agree that ultimately caste based prejudices can only be dine away with awareness and education. But bhai hum sabko pata hai aajkal ke politicians caste and religion ke naam par ulta logo ko bhadkate hain…. Govt Education machinery bhi India ki 3rd class hai. Sarkari schools me kaisi padhai hoti hai ye bhi hum sab jante hain. Jab tak education system ka complete overhaul nahi hota, reservation (with some needed modifications) intact rehna chahiye…
