reservations on reservation

The reservation issue is an issue which has plagued the government for years,decades even,it has finally been resolved,in the same farcical manner in which it was instituted.Reservations of any sort are a means of sacrificing human ability to the paraiah of need.This is indeed the pathetic & shameful state to which our country has been brought.It is only a token consolation that the so called 'creamy layer' has been excluded.We cannot afford the luxury of mediocrity in the world of reason,where man is nothing more than the sum of his mind & its products,viz.his achievements.
The policy of affirmative action has several merits over the reservation issue as it categorically states that people who have suffered certain iniquities or inequities in the past are given preference in whatever sphere,when they are equally qualified as the other applicants.We cannot afford to dilute the products of our education system especially by sacrificing ability to need.This represents one of the most egregious forms of injustice as reservations are a means of treating the symptoms but not the disease.The disease is a bureaucracy which is dodging the issue of non-development at the rural level by providing concessions for higher education by diluting the standards of the education system.This simply cannot be allowed to continue,the right way to go about this issue would be to remove reservations of all kinds,and improve the rural education scheme,this requires long & painstaking effort.

As Rangnar Danneskjold says in Atlas Shrugged: "The idea that need is a sacred idol requiring human sacrifices-that the need of some men is the knife of a guillotine hanging over others-that all of us must live with our work, our hopes, our plans, our efforts at the mercy of the moment when that knife will descend upon us-and that the extent of our ability is the extent of our danger, so that success will bring our heads down on the block, while failure will give us the right to pull the cord. This is the horror which Robin Hood immortalized as an ideal of righteousness. It is said that he fought against the looting rulers and returned the loot to those who had been robbed, but that is not the meaning of the legend which has survived. He is remembered, not as a champion of property, but as a champion of need, not as a defender of the robbed, but as a provider of the poor. He is held to be the first man who assumed a halo of virtue by practicing charity with wealth which he did not own, by giving away goods which he had not produced, by making others pay for the luxury of his pity. He is the man who became the symbol of the idea that need, not achievement, is the source of rights, that we don't have to produce, only to want, that the earned does not belong to us, but the unearned does. He became a justification for every mediocrity who, unable to make his own living, has demanded the power to dispose of the property of his betters, by proclaiming his willingness to devote his life to his inferiors at the price of robbing his superiors. It is this foulest of creatures-the double-parasite who lives on the sores, of the poor and the blood of the rich-whom men have come to regard as a moral ideal. And this has brought us to a world where the more a man produces, the closer he comes to the loss of all his rights, until, if his ability is great enough, he becomes a rightless creature delivered as prey to any claimant-while in order to be placed above rights, above principles, above morality, placed where anything is permitted to him, even plunder and murder, all a man has to do is to be in need. Do you wonder why the world is collapsing around us? That is what I am fighting, Mr.
Rearden. Until men learn that of all human symbols, Robin Hood is the most immoral and the most contemptible, there will be no justice on earth and no way for mankind to survive."

We must learn that the undeserving cannot get the unearned,just because a directive from the government says so.The policy of introducing reservations for anybody,based on any criteria,always exacerbates the inequality,because more & more people will put in less & less effort because of the easy back door being offered.All that drives this world is man's mind & its products,the grace of god is essential,but the grace of god will not change anything by itself.God helps those tho help themselves.

We as proud Indians must stop depending on this inanity, we must rise up,prove our own worth,and refuse to accept this monstrous absurdity where lesser & lesser ability gets you higher & higher.This must happen as soon as possible,before there is a new reservation category called 'MC':meritorious category.
