RESERVATION IN INDIA

Reservation is defined by the Constitution of India as the process of facilitating a person in education, scholarship, jobs, and in promotion who has category certificates. Reservation is governed by constitutional laws, statutory laws, local rules and regulations. Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes are the primary beneficiaries of the reservation policies under the Constitution.

Reservation is very important for the above primary beneficiaries because of Past and Present painful experiences that they have suffered. The reserved class & poor people were not allowed to enter into the temple, they were not provided basic education by the teachers, they were not allowed to drink water due to untouchability and  right to enjoying life were snatched by the upper class people. Well, situations today is better than the past but still in many small places, people still discriminate on the basis of casteism. Today, people are fighting for reservation, or fighting against reservation as we can see in Gujarat, the PAAS (Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti) are fighting for reservation to register themselves in OBC category, the jaats in Haryana went on a strike as they harmed several people and raped women, girls which they violated people's right to life and liberty and through that they claimed reservation in Haryana which is against the law.

Only those people are entitled to reservation who are financially very weak, those who are orphaned, those who are handicapped. Reservation must be there on the basis of casteism because if it is removed, then general people will still treat them badly then they used to do in the past. Reservation is a source through which people can be united, no one can discriminate anyone on the basis of religion, caste, sex, creed, etc. As Indian constitution says, India is a secular and socialist country, it must be implemented.
