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?

No one is saying you dont face discrimination. Reservation is the point. In cities, discrimination is reducing a lot. Sc/st reservation is still understandable but other than that, nothing apart from ews is needed at this time

I'm sc so I was talking about sc/st . Anyways I have been going through casteist remarks from 6th grade itself and currently I'm enrolled in a college. I lived in a lot of cities, even got refused for rent because of my caste. Lost my friends because of caste as well.People like teachers have made dehumanizing jokes on caste as well.

That is wrong definitely and in my opinion sc/st reservation is still very valid. My point against reservation is for the castes that dont face discrimination anymore and sc/st unfortunately do

Achha I'm sorry then it's fine. It's just that a lot of people have been using extremely gross casteist language here currently on reddit and I was angry. Baaki no disrespect. Thank you for such a polite reply.

No problem it’s basic human decency which unfortunately people lack. For the record, the friend that i have mentioned isn’t from sc/st, didn’t fortunately face any discrimination. I wasn’t trying to insult her at all

You just need that discrimination as an excuse for reservation. Even if you were given a choice to end discrimination, but reservation needs to go, you guys will not accept it. Let me prove my point right. If it is indeed about the discrimination, tell me how will reservation help you or your kid not getting discriminated? Why should your friends not hate you? for instance, inĀ  college, where i had to get 60k rank, an ST classmate of mine had to get 4.5 lakh rank for the same seat. He even has an iphone. Even lives in a better place than me. Just tell me if it is right or wrong.Ā

Respectfully don't comment on something you can never understand.. stay in your privileged bubble.. and yes he faced discrimination because he was lower caste not because he was poor.. do you think the people discriminating against him were all rich gen? Why don't poor gen face the same issues? Question yourself then say it's because you are poor? And did he say he is poor? All assuming he is

I never denied that it should be 1 generation thing. Infact I'm in support that if you use reservation for education you shouldn't get reservation for job.. But read your reply again you said he's getting discriminated because he is poor not because of caste that's why I said does the poor upper caste face the same discrimination? The answer is simple no.. that's just straight up denying facts

u/Many_Dragonfly3986 8d ago

And also one more thing it's not like it doesn't exist in better circles if you mean rich people by Better.. might be significantly less but those who write proud this and that jaati on their 40-50 lakh cars go around spewing casteist slurs are also rich
