write a brief note on the reservation policy on the government
Answers
Answer:
Reservation is a system of affirmative action in India that provides historically disadvantaged groups representation in education, employment and politics. Based on provisions in the Indian Constitution, it allows the Indian government to set reserved quotas or seats, which lower the qualifications needed in exams, job openings etc. for "socially and economically backward citizens."[1][2]
Reservation was intended to uplift these communities but the government's failure to control the amount of reservation and lack of comprehensive review of the policies by the government have resulted in wide criticism and backlash. It is often described as a menace primarily due to its anti-meritocratic nature, which is causing further division and discrimination in the society.
