SC came out with a 'stay' on the proposed 27% reservation in IIT,IIMs and other elite institutes for OBC.Government(read Arjun Sigh) proposal for giving reservation was based on 1931 census.Now thas what we call the correct and relevant data to justify things.Politician can go to any extent to secure vote in a shorter period of time.
Earlier it was Mr. V.P.Singh who implemented Mandal committee recommendation by giving reservation in PSU jobs.Remember at that point of time Pvt. jobs were hardly there.Then it was a phase of liberalisation and Private sector grew like anything.Now we can find quite a lot of Indian MNCs because the base was built on MERIT and not RESERVATION.This time the politician wants to add quota system in Private sector as well.
Lets go back to the basics first.What's the basic reason for giving reservation-it could be economic backwardness,social backwardness or lack of any representation in the main stream of the society.
The 'General' category which has flourished in pvt. sector after the quota system in PSU.But this 'general' category is in minority when it comes to representation in the parliament.You hardly find anyone raising issues faced by 'General' category.Belonging to a 'general' category doesnot mean they are financially or politically strong or being an OBC doesnot mean he or she is poor.
We can call this as 'Myopic' politics...no one wants to talk about building infrastructure,creating investment opportunities because this won't fetch any short term benefits.See the fate of the previous government which worked on these programs and lost the election.
Ruling party in one of the southern state is busy creating a formula to have division among Muslims on the basis of caste(this doesnot exist till date in this state).This will allow them to provide some reservation quota for backward class muslims.I guess this is the only country where people feel proud in getting themselve 'enroled' in the list of 'Backward'.Divide and rule is not a thing of past.Todays politician follow the same formula by dividing us into caste so that they can attain their personal goals.
Who cares!!!
