RESERVATION: A leap backwards!

Caution Notice: I have written this blog keeping in mind that WE Indians still have a voice and we do not need politicians to meddle with us. We are bold enough to stand up to anything that is wrong...So anyone who is reading this blog with a divided mind may please absatian from the same; because you need to be on either side of the road, being in between would do nothing but crush you.

Well, I as a citizen of Free democratic India believe, that everyone of us should get equal rights in every field.
The moment I think this, I do not abstain the SCs, STs and OBCs from it.
Today, I accept that at one point of time our bretherens were subjected to atrocities based on caste system; at that point of time our ancestors had this in there heart and mind...
But, Today....the scenario is differnet..
Education has chaged it a lot...
I donot believe in cast system anymore..let me naarate a story to you...

Manoj was a close friend of mine...
We had shared tiffins, Good and bad times...but all that changed when he got into one of the premier engineering colleges of INDIA, even when he had secured a rank much lower than me; reason being he was in the reserved category......
Well I was sad at that point of time, but I understood that knowledge cannot be reserved....
when I saw him not faring well in his college exams....Sad but true...

And this is how a goverment; which is by the people, for the people and of the people...changes the relationships betwen its citizens...and nurtures ill will...I never saw manoj as a backward class member but Government made me to see it....should I say my eyes opened to the stark reality

I believe reservations should be made for the weaker sections of the society not based on knowledge but rather, on will to learn...and that can be gauged through competitive exams.

By reservation I believe you make that class more weaker and vulnerable....since my friend Manoj is still searching for a job...!
