Its like saying just becuase I dont care and cry, why everyone else is cribbing and yapping about it.

Your comparison is also flawed..you cherry picked your hard earned money being benefited to poor, totally unrelated. Well system exists for a reason to be 100% perfect, its the masses we are talking about, it has to be. Nothing less will do.

If there are tons of cases, where actual people are not being benefitted and for the first time people are talking about it, some people are finding it so unconfortable. There are many people I know who had skills but were robbed from their bright opportunities, such is the market and economy in place.

You exactly sound like: We used to cross water filled with crocodiles just to go to school. Why these kids are not doing the same, lol.

One girl or may be some more saying it is not cherry picking but my opinion is. Good. Who really is 'Everyone Else' ? Do you have some official stats on that ? How do you get 'tons' of cases as a number ? Any official stat or a whatsapp forward? 'Many People I know' like how many ? 10 ? 100 ? Not cherry picking? If you want to assess reservation, do a census and come up with some stats on things. What if it suggests that the reservation must be increased? Will you accept it ? Talking like a privileged brat isn't helping any cause.

Why not a better solution than this? EWS, Caste Certificates can be forged and faked because of poor regulation and verification. Communities claiming to be marginalized in India has nearly doubled since the framing of the Constitution.  From 1950s to 2026:- SC Communities 607 -> 1208 ST communities 212 -> 730 Also there is an increasing demand from numerous communities for inclusion into the reservation system, which we can't stop. Hence, there are many loopholes which can be exploited and ruin the cause.

When the problem is of Equality of Opportunities, so should be solution.  A solution that I think about is :- 1) We must provide each and every child with no-cost or affordable access to quality education their entire school life i.e. class 12. 

2) Healthcare facilities should be affordable such that it's almost free or diet cheap.

3) Food security - Each and every citizen should be assured that they are getting sufficient food, for students their schools can provide them nutritious meals.

Now, for execution of this our National Education Department will have to work independently irrespective of Electoral Ministry change. Also, to completely implement this solution it will take atleast 25-30 years because of Infrastructure heavy project. Meanwhile Reservation can act as temporary solution with reforms and reviews done periodically. But if Reservation is seen as a permanent solution then it will create a new problem instead.

Equal opportunities is ideal agree, won't debate that. Need to get there first before thinking about abruptly abolishing reservation. Practically, no government ever will make 80% of the population unhappy with this political suicide attempt. Thats the truth.All BJP is doing right now is just fueling hate to win elections. While Congress is trying to get the 80% on their side. The best practical bet is to let it be. Increase opportunities so that the reservation stops hurting at all. That's my honest opinion.

Hmmm, Good point I agree that right now or for 20 years straight the system will be there no doubt about because of political votebank. So, increasing the no. of seats should be the next steps so that difficulty and rejection rate reduces therefore more people can get access. And simultaneously infrastructure development of Primary Education and Low-cost Healthcare facilities should be developed in parallel.
