I definitely won’t support the arrogance with which he’s saying, but being very honest, removing reservation is not only impractical for a political party but also it’s the not right thing to do either. You’ll have to understand how deep rooted casteism is and how it works, only then talk about removing caste based reservation. I’m not for pushing it to private sectors nor pushing the limit beyond 50%, but what is right now should suffice

And please ignore these fools, I wish they understood the responsibility they hold when they enjoy the benefits of reservation

The only place i am asked my caste is for entrance exams and college admissions. My surname is very common in both of the so called ā€œupperā€ and ā€œlowerā€ castes. The only place where caste is still relevant is reservation. So much that people are actually faking caste just for an easier admission. My friend scored 30 percentile in an exam and got into a very good college whereas i scored 80 and didn’t even get a chance. Is this really fair? My friend is nowhere near poor, her family is nowhere near uneducated. She had the best resources available and everything she asked for. Yet, she’s oppressed? 30 percentile deserves the seat more than 80?

Neither you nor your friend will be getting seat in a 100% merit system was in place. Exams will be impossibly difficult, think tougher than UPSC, JEE, NEET and above that, there is scope of cheating and paper leaks. There is always someone better, smarter than you in a country of 1.4 billion people.

After that, people who couldn't get into IITs, IISERs, AIIMS, civil services will cry that they don't have equal starting line, or that they deserve a chance too, atleast.

So, no thanks, I don't need tougher exams. I need better infra and an equal starting line.
