why did some people welcome the recommendation of mandal commission ?
Answers
The Mandal Commission was established in India in 1979 by the Janata Party government under Prime Minister Morarji Desai with a mandate to "identify the socially or educationally backward.”It was headed by Indian parliamentarian B.P. Mandal to consider the question of seat reservations and quotas for people to redress caste discrimination, and used eleven social, economic, and educational indicators to determine backwardness. In 1980, the commission's report affirmed the affirmative action practice under Indian law whereby members of backward castes (known as Other Backward Classes (OBC), Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST)) were given exclusive access to a certain portion of government Jobs and slots in public universities, and recommended changes to these quotas, by 27% which were for OBC and rest 22% for SC & ST, Total 49% which is the maximum limit given by our constitution.
Aspects wewre that this reservation will we given for 10 years and after that they will not be extended. To maintain the equality before law to the citizens.
But after that time no one (government) tried to remove it as they see it their votebank in this case. If any one will try to do that they will be removed from the power as the people who are getting these benefits are in majority.
But it voilates the equal rights given by our constitution to us.
It is clearly mentioned in artcle 340 of our constitution that neither reservation can be presisted after 10 years.
Even Dr. B. R. Ambedker also sid on this ‘a permanent reservation on basis of caste is injustice for othere citizens of INDIA’
But it is still in forced.
I personaly feel disagree with this, when I see peoples having big big houses and cars and still they use reservation.
Actualy reservation gives you only an uplift to be setteld in your life according to constitution. But there is no need of it in promotion systems where also they get this. I just ask if he is good in work he dosen’t require reservation. And if he is not good then he is living his life very good and dosen’t deserves that.
