I’m grieved because the government’s policies are so biased that
they are sure to break the communal harmony into such fragments which can never
be agglutinate ever again. I’m
visualizing this country as a Wall, where each brick represents a citizen and
the cement between bricks is the Love and respect which binds us all as one. For
making a strong wall, all bricks need to be strong but individual strength
alone isn't the secret of strong wall. The cement which acts as an adhesive is
what makes a stack of bricks a wall.
If I speak directly
on this issue, I would be put in the same basket as parties opposing it.
However, my concern is genuine and I do not garner any votes or incentives by
writing this article. Therefore, please answer these questions yourself….
- Would the policy improve the student’s intake for prestigious educational institutes?
- How many in the Union cabinet or the Lok Sabha have cracked CAT or IIT-JEE?
- Does getting into such educational institutes guarantee the reserved candidates with a bright future? If yes, then can you force the companies to recruit these weaker candidates?
- If A is from non minority community and B from minority, if both get equal marks, why only B is given admission and A is denied? Why does Law favour B, isn’t Law supposed to be equal for everyone?
- Does being born in a minority family, makes one weak?
- By giving a religion based reservation, is the government saying “your religion is what makes you weaker”? If not, why not give them equal chance to prove themselves?
- Considering that there are were no castes in any other religion other than Hinduism. Also the caste system which prevails only in India and is not seen any Islamic or Christian country. Why does government call some Christians and Muslims to be Dalit? Is it not against the Holy Bible and Holy Quran?
- Are all Hindus born -> intelligent and rich? If not, why deprive them of reservation, if not reservation then financial help?
- Are Muslims in minority in UP and JK? If they aren’t, then why not give reservation to real minority?
- Does a caterpillar who is helped out of cocoon(struggles) become a good Butterfly? Isn’t reservation analogous to helping people the wrong way!
- Doesn't minority reservation make India a non-secular country as only few religions are given priority?
Reservation is a way of choosing to go against the law of
survival of the fittest and by all means it makes future of the country weary. It causes weak bricks to be chosen for
making the wall.
More biased laws would lead to polarization. When country’s
population is polarised, there is one group which feels oppressed. This oppression
when crosses threshold, erupts and there is complete anarchy. Such oppression
is not controllable as even all armed forces have to choose one side. We are
slowing moving to the same state of partition. It may seem exaggerated and so
if we peep in past, the divide and rule policy debilitated the freedom struggle
and even after obtaining independence, division took place. Enmity between people will dry the cement
of love and thus history is bound to repeat with repeated mistakes!
One final question….
If Reservation was given to communities which made Indian Freedom Struggle a
success! Who would get the reservation?
Reservation is a flawed concept. It can be synonymous to favoritism. It’s a different name given to Divide and Rule policy. A mother can’t
choose between its children. Her duty is to teach her children to face life and struggles on their own because she won’t be there always.
Present is born from the womb of past. Let us reap the seed
of justice, so that this present, presents us with a strong and secure future
for our country.
