Caste based Reservation- Country need or Political winning factor?


Cast based Reservation was an idea of our some former politicians who thought that it is necessary to introduce Reservation system in India by providing some indirect benefit to those who suffer from the lower economic development  in the initial stage or we can say after India got independenc under its own republic status. The idea  of the caste-based reservation was an instrument that was introduced as a temporary strategy to boost the economic condition of the low earning family to  compete with the normal level of families in India  by allowing them a certain percentage of allowance in job opportunity in the government  sector.  But it’s amazing to know that from the  temporary strategy for boosting lower economic development, it's turn become a serious problem for those who do not belong to lower caste families, but are suffering from the economic condition. Which creates a new assumption among the general caste category, this is about a feeling of discrimination between two caste categories in the same nation for the government job opportunities. And the voice against reservation in employment has been started to protect the interest of the general caste category population in India.

 In the words of APJ Abdul Kalam, Former president of India in his one of the college speech stated that, In India, “the caste-based reservation seems to be an instrument that may facilitate political parties a winning factor rather than its true essence in India. This statement is enough to understand, to know how much Caste based reservation is required and important in India. Cast based reservation is better understood if it is based on the economic factor rather than employment.

It is acceptable that the Caste Based Reservation should follow in India due to large Demographic gap, but not at the cost of employment opportunity, this should be based on the economic capability of an individual which should decide who will and who will not able to avail caste based reservation. But the reality is not that much good as it could have for the general caste population. Since India got independence, reservation become key winning factor which can won any party in India after the most used Hindu – Muslim topic, and at the same time any statement against Anti-reservation may create difficulties to win. But a recent news in regard of caste-based reservation from the parliament with a statement of Ramdas Athawale a “Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment” that Government should pass a bill to reshuffle in reservation on an economic basis on a major scale, which is considered a new strategy for 2019 to attract general caste voters in favor of BJP party. Because Modi Government are known for its ability to think or act out of the box when it’s come to the election in India.
