reservation probelms……..1

1. The  reservation debate has again reared its head following the supreme court granting an interim stay on the central government proposal to introduce 27% reservation for OBC’S(Other Backward classes) in central educational institutes.i for one,find myself in complete agreement with the court’s arguments and do not believe that it in any way goes against the constitution or the concept of social justice.The court has only demanded a better criteria to determine backwardness of a community and a fresher census of the obc’s to replace the obsolete 1931 census which has been used by political parties across the spectrum to indulge in populist gimmicks.dont get me wrong here.i am not for reservation per sey or social justice but i do believe that reservations especially at the highest levels will not benefit anyone in the long run,expect the so called creamy layer among the disadvantadged sectrions on society.The manner in which the politicans have reacted seems to suggest a desperate attempt to win votes.if these ppl are really concerned about social justice,improvment shud be made to educational facilites at the primary level,more schools shud be set up and scholarships shud be provided to childrenm 4rm the disadvantaged sections of society,reserve discrimination seldom works and will only divide the country furthur.the need of the hour is to ensure that an equitable social system is establised in a just manner and the fruits of the countrys progress are shared among all sections of society.I hope to see a day where even the corporation and government run  schools have students from all sections of society.reservations shud be provided but only on the basis of economic backwardness,though other indices may also be taken into consideration.and the politicans shud think to solve probelms plauging the country like poverty,unemployment rather than simply handing over freebies.the attitude of these old buggers repluse me.this post will be contd……..
