Who is eating fruits of Reservation System???

Today when the discussion about reservation is going on at every available stage for debate, I am unable to understand few basic facts about it.

First of all, I totally agree with those who are in favor of not having any reservation at all. By saying this I never mean that government should not provide any facilities for those who are unable to stand with rest of the society. But the way things have been classified is not doing any good to those people. Till date it has been proved again and again that if it is doing good to anyone then it is one and only politicians of this country.

Today a person, who don’t have any source of income, no land for farming, is totally dependent on the daily earning which he gets after doing hard work in someone’s field; if he wants his son to do well in studies and to get a good job; don’t we think as the responsible member of the society and this country that these kind of people should be provided added facilities so that they can make their dreams true. Till this point I think every one will agree with me but as we say that he belongs to upper caste, all his problems, his poverty gets ignored. He no longer needs any protection and support.

So in these situations, it is very difficult to understand that reservation is for whom. On what basis we can justify that Ram Vilas Paswan or Lalu Prasad Yadav who have hundred’s of corers of property today (how they have made it only they can justify) with which they can provide any kind of support in study to there kids; and still they want reservation for their children.

By its definition, reservation is for them who are not capable to get the education because of their poverty; its for them who needs extra support to come in the main stream and not at all for them who are having all the means with them. And that’s the reason I cannot understand the current provision of reservation; which is based on caste system and not on the financial status of the person.

If someone will conduct a survey about the benefits of reservation till date, it will be very clear that only those so called backward caste people got undue advantage of this system who had all the means with them to get the kind of education they wanted. And in this way the actual people either from backward community or forward community who really needed the reservation system got left behind.

Since we don’t have any such survey and its result with us, poor people from SC/ST community are being happy by thinking that they are having the benefits of reservation and its being planned to increase further; without knowing that its very rare that someone among them gets the benefit of it. Its always financially forward but backward by caste people who gets benefit of it. Yes, it becomes very helpful for our politicians because in this way they can make their vote bank and do the planning based on the head count of caste.

Since this issue is being discussed all over again so I request you to raise this point strongly so that the benefit of reservation goes to the people who actually need it.
