Reservation - An image of corrupt India

In the country where the education system is so flawed that no college comes in the top 100 of the world even as the students and their knowledge is reckoned to be at par with international standards. Simple reason is the misutilization of the human resources and services. When we have potential candidates that can be developed into genius with the available resources, we are forced to degrade the standards by gathering resources for reshaping weak students into the potential candidates so that the reserved sections can utilize them.

Even when we have educated the reserved class enough for them to pass into the society they create a low quality workforce that needs further reservation to guarantee them jobs. This is like spoon-feeding a kid throughout his life. Empowering the reserved class does not mean hiding their failures. Currently statistics say that 1 in every 4 reserved class student fails to get passing grades in institutions. These facts speak for themselves. Even after academia when they join the government offices citing reserved category, they generate further inefficient workforce in these offices as they lack the skills and knowledge that is needed. Although not proven there have also been allegations that caste based favors are being given in these offices due to political and personal reasons.

Corruption in the division and management of the scheduled caste and tribe results in rich people gaining illegal certification and enjoying the benefits of the reservation system. Gaining reserved status is believed a way for getting more political power as well as way of getting economic benefits. In the records of Indian government less than 50% scheduled tribes or castes are below poverty line. It simply adds to matters that not every reserved candidate is unable to get equal opportunity as it turns out they are getting more opportunities than others. People in the undeserving reserved sections get additional and unnecessary benefits over average population. In the final I would like to remind people that Reservation is not a law that Indian government invented. In 1908 the British government enacted the reservation policy for giving equal representation to people of every caste but which was simply another stratagem to instill divide and conquer policy in the country. If in 100 years of implementation the reservation policy could not benefit the population enough to become useless I do not think it is an effective strategy. Post-independence this policy was implemented to decrease the number of needful reserved sections who were suffering from untouchability, which even to this day we are unable to abolish. The number in the reserved section instead to decreasing is still on the curve to increase. Is this not the time to call a change in the policy? People in support of the policy must find a way to make it more efficient if they really are looking for results for until then it would just become a forced law effecting the development of the country.
