In INDIA, the main identity of people is category. I remember the line that i have studied in my school days "equality among people". But the present situation makes me feel "Is this really for studies or has it been implemented?". If it is not, then what is the reality? Perhaps the equality is just for the sake of words.
I believe that years ago, some people were discriminated in basis of caste, religion etc. But think once "whats the present situation?". Now every person in-spite of caste, religion are well settled. I too believe that there are many people who are starving due to financial problems and other problems.
During the 1950's to 1960's some people were discriminated and at that time there was need for reservation for them in various fields. But I now feel there is no need of reservation for them.
I think reservation should be based on the financial condition of peoples. For every poor person of any category must have reservation. But reservation based on category or caste (which is currently happening) is not a righteous thing.
A person of so called 'low caste' who has loads and loads of money is making use of reservation and a person from general caste ( like brahmin or others) who is poor & has no money is suffering at every stage due to reservation.
For example, a person of sc\st who has secured 60% marks can get a seat at good degree college, and a general merit student finds difficulty in getting a seat at good college in-spite of having 90%+.
Now think for a second, you will get to know how badly the general caste peoples are suffering. The real minorities are not so called 'low caste' peoples. Perhaps they are enjoying the reservation. A person who has no quality and has just passed in some subject are getting opportunities due to reservation, and on other side a person who has highly qualified and is talented is kept aside of opportunities just on the basis that he is of general category.
Now you can feel how is this line- "equality among people" has been implemented so far in India.
I can say that the real minorities cannot be classified based on caste etc.
The real minorities are people who are suffering from severe financial problems, those who have no basic needs etc. Let them get the reservation instead of caste based reservation.
The concept of 'caste based reservation' is just a matter of hell.
Finally I conclude that if INDIA needs to be a spectacular nation just one thing we should do is "remove the caste based reservation".
Caste divides nation, nationality unites Indians. Remove the caste column in every field.
Let us identify ourselves as INDIANS.
