Realisation is first sign of victory
Well said Vinay. Reservation became a mentality in the society now. It became our culture. It is easy to change a system than the mentality of the people own that system. That is the reason why we see message like "Dalit girl" in the news. Writing a bill and enforce against corruption is probably easier than campaigning for changing mentality of reservation. The political parties are using it as a tool to win the election. They believe in increasing it rather than reducing it without knowing the effects in the society. We are recruiting people in the system who are less competent, through reservation, then right people regardless of the category. There are excellent people in the general category and in the SC/ST. If this socialism is not removed, it will remove us from the competitive map of the world slowly. In my opinion, this is a longer process than the issue we are fighting against, corruption. Well, we all know what is the issue. The main issue is, whether it can be fixed and how. First, it can't be changed overnight that means we have to take the baby steps to work about the issue. First thing should be the political system i.e. law against corruption, try to remove collation governments, separate national parties from local parties etc. This will give clear power to the elected members to make things right. Until right candidates are not elected in the congress, we can't expect anything to change. As we progress in the path of balancing the society between reserve category and non-reserve, things will turn around. When people will stop differentiating categories, the culture of reservation will die. But it has to start from top to bottom. The reverse is a tough path. Political parties should stay away from this issue to make any difference.
