The Indian Constitution gives the right to all its citizens to elect its representatives and also a chance to be elected as a representative. ... Those who are influential and resourceful may prevent them from winning elections.
Reservation is such a controversial topic that if two people start debating on it none of them will win. Before going further into need of reservation I would like to share a recent tragedy that happened in my village.
After the Bharat bandh agitation organised by SC/ST community against Supreme Court's order, few teenager boys (belongs to upper caste) of my village made a video. In that video they were abusing the SC people living in our village and they uploaded it on Facebook. Few people from the same community saw it and after discussing the Matter with other community people they complained it to Deputy commissioner (DC) of our district though there is a police station in village. When few days passed a police man came to the house of one of the boy involved in the matter (he lives near my home) asked his mother to send her son to the police station. When the boys didn't apper before the SHO (Station House Officer),police started arresting them.
So the accused boys were in the police custody and as soon as their parents got to know about the incident they rushed to the police station.
So here start's the main part of the whole incident,when police denied to aquit the boys reaction of their parents was “ How dare these lower caste people complained it to the police, what happened if our children abused them”. Not only this even younger and educated people also started accusing the lower caste people.
My village is not a backward village it is just 16km away from Delhi. All the amenities are available in the village. Most of the people are educated especially the younger one. Still the mindset of people are that of older generation. If the situation of my village is like this what about the remote and backward villages of rest of the country.
Although the reservation system has been worsen by political community but it is the requirement of our country.
It was a small incident witnessed by me and there may be more harsher events in the remote areas of the country.
So being a general category person I support the reservation system with some modifications which seems impossible because of vote bank politics.
