What do you mean by equality, equality is a myth. Equality definition is the state of being equal, especially in status, rights, or opportunities.
People talking about equality in our current society do you think different people or groups or any division have a similar social position and receive the same treatment irrespective of race, caste , creed, religion etc.
Equality is a flawed concept, equality only works out when everyone starts from the same level, the term to be used should be equity as equity ensures everyone is treated fairly based on from where they have started.
Fundamental right of equality in India is duty of the state to ensure that everyone is equally treated by the law. Every person in India is same and there will be no discrimination whatsoever by the state irrespective of any divisions.
Importantly the purpose of this law is not for uniformity of treatment to all in all respects. It only means that all people in similar circumstances shall be treated alike both in privileges and liabilities imposed by law. Equal law should be applied in all same situations, and there should be no discrimination in one person and another. This means the right talks about equity not equality.
Eg. Imagine you have a 100m race with bolt right now do you think you can compete with him, so what do people do is to give you a fair chance you will start 25m ahead of bolt so that atleast you have a chance of competing. If bolt talks about equality it makes no sense and you will never even compete in the race as you have no chance to win. This is a similar situation talking against reservation.
Reservation is a positive thing as it tries to bring everyone on an equal platform. It actually does a good job, where women, children, students etc. many of them get benifits to improve their situations and indirectly country’s condition.
If you are against reservation then try something to promote equality don't be a hypocrite of talking only about equality when it effects you. Talk about discrimination related to gender, caste, religion, region and all divisions which we follow in India, then the when everyone is equal , there will be no need of any kind of reservation.
