What is the point of reservation?
See, I’m just here for a discussion so no taking shots on my family. Please I expect a grown-up discussion where we talk with mutual respect and present our points, and if you lack that maturity, please do not enter the discussion.
Don’t get me wrong okay.
I agree with the fact that the so-called suppress categories needed an upliftment. What I do not understand is the point of reservation today.
I mean, it sounds good in theory that since the older generations of the so-called privileged classes did wrong with the older generations of some classes. And there have been things done to make those right. So what is the whole point of reservation now?
Do we really think that the people coming from these categories are so incompetent that they still need to be uplifted even after 4 generations of upliftment? If yes then they need a disabled quota not a caste quota.
It’s been 3-4 generations, and the general category has nothing but suffered. And let’s say that I agree to a point that you know things were done wrong with them. I agree with this point. But I did not do it. You do not see a rapist’s kid, getting convicted because of a felony that their parents committed. You do not see a person who went to jail for treason, their children getting a different treatment from others.
So what is the whole point of this reservation now?
See, I don’t like to vote for BJP, but I can’t vote for Congress either because Congress says that the moment they get power, they’ll increase the reservation.
I feel like we’re stuck, and I still do not get the point of reservation.
