PROS:
(1) lets not take a short term perspective into consideration, after 200-300yrs d whole scenario would certainly improve.
(2) OBCs dont fare as bad as the SC/STs hence we should further investigate their performance taking into consideration various parameters like their social, economic background b4 generalising.
(3) breeds equality coz it nullifies the wrong done in the past
(4) even though the global status of our best universities wud cum down still sum of the not-so-gud colleges may recover their lost glory coz the pvt firms would lessen the importance of a 'college brand'. maybe then we would eradicate d situation of any1 getting stuck up in a better college wid a branch of not his liking.
(5) for those who think our economy would suffer, well it might happen for say a decade or so but then with education spread all over d country, wid more equality, wid even our peasants' sons/daughters educated; economy is bound to regain(assuming it gets effected) the lost numbers....isnt it?
CONS:
(1) brain-drain but then v ppl have an option due to none of our efforts but majorly due to our parents and their background, y shudnt they also get a benefit....??(here i m nt ignoring the toil our parents go through or went through during their struggling tyms)
(2) status of institutes all over the country would come down on a global scale.
(3) breeds friction b/w different grps already i have heard bout the 'meena grp' n all. but isnt it the problem of the implementation n not of legislation.
(4) studies have shown that 'corruption' plays a more prominent part amongst d ppl who get thru reservation. but then again thts an altogether seperate problem tht the executive has to deal wid.
(5) doubts over the whole policy of 'reservation' coz it has failed in raising standards(though i m not sure of this, do u have any figures to back me up ??) during the past 50yrs, hence maybe its time for more innovative measures. but i think the problem was with lesser initiatives from the govt to get rid of reservation like by providng free and compulsory education for kids, by further subsidising the education and need-based schols..and more such measures i m not aware about.
MY SUGGESTION:
(1) a gradual increase for sum tym so tht the institutes under limelight can cope with the lack of infra n then after say sum decades decreasing d reservation at a rate determined thru surveys.
(2) free and compulsory education till class 8th or 10th maybe so that we can witness the day ven their r no reservations, but i dont think it'll happen b4 we pass onto the next
level.
(3) also MBCs are the true inheritors of mandal and should get the max benefits.
(4) as mentioned by DOOM reservation shud b applicable to those whose parents hav not been subject to it and that too only once. we dont want a person whose father is an IAS thru reservation, n he gets into IIT thru reservation, then gets after a 2yr stint at a govt firm which he got thru reservation and finally IIM mein also he gets thru the 'R' word.....
during the 'big-fight'(a show on NDTV) itself tht person said ki our ancestors fought for reservations under the british raj so y not now....??
i know of ppl in our own college where 1 category person's father is an IAS officer n he changes his cell every 6months, but then i know another person whose father works at a petrol station n who hadnt worked on a computer b4 coming to college. so theres a lot of inequality within a certain section of ppl also, hence clear demarcations need to be specified for seperation OBCs, MBCs, dalits and furhter divide them into grps so that the our energies can be diverted
towards those who need them most. this especially is called for when they form the 80-85% of the whole population.
also if anybody feels tht coz the so called 'creamy layer' inspite of arrangements debarring them from the reservation take most of the seats then i think tht has got nuthing to do with the law, its got to do with the implementation. legislation n executive are 2 entirely seperate entities.
