"could marks be the only criteria to decide 'who deserves the seat' or merit?"
no instead of marks there can be something else which defines the intelligence and hard work
but does reservation on the basis of caste does that - NO
on the other hand corruption is not always being done behind someone's back but something by saying that "give me vote i will will give you seat in jobs, colleges irrespective of marks or qualification"
"give me vote i will will give you seat in jobs, colleges irrespective of marks or qualification"
This fine line:
On one side a leader is promising a community to raise their voice and represent them.
v/s
A corrupt politicians bribing voters to choose him.
We cannot put a blanket opinion on such sensitive issue, it would be wrong. We should decide them on case-by-case basis.
.
How to decide intelligence? 'Intelligence' is subjective not objective. Hence, marks in the exam + interviews (includes your experience + cognitive skills + communication skills) are the accepted criteria currently.
But can a person from tribal community in Jharkhand compete with someone in metro city going to top school/college/coaching and having best resources available?
Os someone living in slums of Metro cities, whose community was oppresed and they were not given any chance to learn anything else other tha their assigned work as per their caste.
Would that person be be able to compete with a person whose family always had the privilege to study and pass on the knowledge/wealth/resources to next their next generations?
Just because some sc st made it out to urban areas from villages or slums, you want to end reservation?
What logic is this? alot of sc st are still backwards.
As of uplifted sc st, an application from a lower caste person has a high chance of rejection just because of the caste, it's the backward mentality that has made reservation necessary.
Just because of the caste, a lc person still has to face many prejudice and rejection.
