Reservation

Industry leaders said that they were ready to provide employment opportunities to people from SC. ST and OBC but were opposed to mandatory job reservation in the private sector.
Trouble is the private sector has all the ability and wisdom to improve the lot of the reserved classes. But they are not applying it and now the PMO has even given them such an opportunity to avoid legislation
They will give peon’s job …how will they evolve? Their evolution lies in literacy, quality education, but the government will skirt it, because educating these people will liberate them and take away the votes. I was hoping atleast the private sector will think differently, and instead of jobs, they will offer to invest their surpluses to create educational opportunities.
Their should be meritocracy, why should your birth status give you privileges? And despite all the benefits they demand, they don’t want a level playing field at all! I would imagine if one generation gets benefits of reservation, then their next generation should be de-reserved, yes? But no! They continue to wear caste badge and claim preferential treatment! And let’s face it, the reservation ploy is not going to create abundance or economic equality for the minorities ….it is abused by some to concentrate wealth and usurp power.
