ANTI QUOTA system

THE ENCROACHING SHARE

I don’t understand, why does even Quota system exist in India till now? I agree that about a century ago certain sects of our society were subjected to injustice, but so does plenty of people all over the world. I don’t think there are about 50% reservations for the Blacks in USA. South Africa doesn’t have any law to protect their dark skinned citizens.

I am in fact proud of the fact that India almost unanimously decided to step down and uplift the downtrodden by giving them opportunities. But how long are we going to continue this? 10 yrs, 20 yrs or 30 yrs were fine, and may be the need to uplift an entire generation. But it’s been 60 yrs since our independence and about three generations of the so-called downtrodden are relishing the increasing appetite of the govt. policies for their vote bank.

It’s high time that we descend the tide of reservations and gradually end it all, so that at least the forthcoming generation of the open caste people can breathe in the free air. 60 yrs back we fought for our independence. British, as the invaders always believed in the policy of divide and rule. Don’t you think we the politicians are doing the same to our society? As a kid when I learnt of the whole system of quotas, I mocked the govt. as it they who teach us about equality in textbooks and it is they who do not follow it. Why are the upper caste individuals subjected to this injustice?



I wont be surprised to see another dhoti clad man, calling the open caste people as “harijans” and performing satyagraha just to give the open caste people their moral right to educate and work in an environment of equality.

Are we going to wait till the point that the future generations would be reading about another freedom struggle in their history books?

My letter here is not just protesting against the 50% reservations at IITs and IIMs, my protest is for the entire system of reservations and quotas that acts like parasite for the Indian administration.

I appreciate one dialogue in the movie “Apaharan” wherein they mention that caste certificate is indeed a merit to get into the Indian administration, a merit that can eclipse the intelligent and the bright.
