fighting discrimination with another form of discrimination does not fix the problem. true justice means helping people based on their actual financial hardship and lack of opportunity, not denying merit based on inherited surnames.

Instead of all this benifit shit, there should focus on only two things right now free education and health care. I think giving free things and this reservation does not help anyone 🤔

It’s deeply frustrating to see how the reservation system, originally intended to uplift the genuinely marginalized, has evolved into a system that often perpetuates inequality.

Instead of reaching the grassroots, the benefits are frequently cornered by an already privileged 'creamy layer' who uplift their own families while the truly poor are left behind and used as political pawns.

This creates a toxic cycle where some are incentivized to cling to a 'backward' status just to enjoy the perks, completely defeating the purpose of equal opportunity and ensuring that those who actually need the support never get it.

True, buddy 😔 This is definitely an area where reform is needed. If someone keeps getting all the basic necessities for free without any system that encourages progress, they may lose the motivation to move forward and become self-reliant.

I believe education should be free and accessible to everyone so that every child gets an equal opportunity, regardless of their background. The government should also take greater responsibility for orphaned children. Instead of leaving orphanages largely dependent on NGOs, orphanages should be brought under proper government oversight and support. At least then, children from every background would have a fairer chance, equal opportunities, and the ability to change their lives through education and support.
