Reservation for Scheduled Castes and tribes was introduced by Ambedkar for a period of 10 years, as he expected that in ten years, the first batches would reach the Matriculation levels, and further reservations won't be necessary. Same with Govt. jobs: Read what Ambedkar writes: Ambedkar to Madhok: Quote-On another occasion, we were talking about the issue of reservation for Scheduled Castes. Ambedkar told me that as long as Scheduled Caste people would depend upon crutches of reservation, they would not be able to stand on their legs. He wanted them to stand on their own and rub shoulders with upper caste compatriots with confidence and self-respect. Therefore, he was opposed to extension of statutory reservation after 10 years. He had stated this in the manifesto of the Republican Party that he founded. According to it, the party was committed to abolition of reservations of any kind.-Unquote Jawaharlal Nehru wrote to all Chief Ministers (Jawaharlal Nehru, Letters to Chief Ministers 1947-1964-Vol5, Oxford University Press,1989-pp-456-457) that reservations should be abolished after 10 years as SC/ST would be in crutches and would not be able to progress under freeships/preferences. The SC/ST have been getting the benefit of reservations in jobs up to 27% since 60 years, free food, stay and education and scholarships as well as subsidised loans from SC Development Corporations, Special Component Plan, Tribal Development Plan..etc. for doing business..etc. If a Community could not come up in two generations, the first beneficiries already in superannuation, in 60 years of "free lunch", how long do you think will be required for the group to enjoy reservations for progress of the Community? An individual will never put efforts either in studies or in job, when he is assured of freeships everywhere and he has godfathers to protect him right from JagJivan Ram, as no action could be taken against any SC/ST employee for even gross indiscipline and absence, refusal to work or disobedience, and the officer concerned on the other hand is rebuked for "Casteism"!! If some upper Castes have come up with fake SC/ST Certificates, it is the rampant corruption among the officers concerned, often Dalits themselves, whose main objective is make a few lakhs within the first five years of service How could you improve the system for screening such abuse? The Central and State Govts. consist of app. 67% of Dalits including OBC-s as Ministers and bureaucratic levels. Brahmins could be hardly 2-3%. Why do you blame these miniscule Brahmins for all the ills of Society when the Community is already chased out of the Country denied admissions and jobs in India due to reservations. Why are Brahmins holding high positions in West starting from South Indian Brahmin Nooyi the highest paid Chairman of Pepsi? Do you know that several poor Brahmin families are doing scavenging jobs in Delhi carrying the nightsoil on their heads, as the children were denied admissions as they were "forward" caste decades back!! A Dalit Surgeon in a Govt. hospital, on finding that he was not getting cases of surgery referred to him, wrote to the Govt. to allot/ reserve 25% of surgeries in the hospital to be performed by Dalit surgeons!! Who will go to him, who has studied with just pass marks without merit and who might kill the patient without knowing the subject? WOULD MINISTERS AND MP-S FIRST GO TO HIM FOR TREATMENT? It is high time all these reservations are abolished and the deserving are financed fully for their living and studies at whatever levels, without compromising on the merits. IT IS TO THE DISADVANTAGE OF THE DALITS/OBC-s THEMSELVES THAT RESERVATIONS HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED IN IIT/IIM/AIIMS..etc. AS THE SELECTORS WOULD HAVE THE CV MENTIONING THE STATUS OF THE CANDIDATE AS A RESERVED ONE, AND WOULD BE ELIMINATED AT PRELIMINARIES ITSELF!!
