Discrimination based on castes is an electoral fraud. While, atrocities against SC/ST is common in rural areas, there is reverse discrimination against Non-SC/ST employees in urban areas.
Consider the flip side.Coteries of SC/ST employees have sprouted in govt. offices,hospitals, teaching institutions in full view of authorities. By misusing the “Brahmaastra” of caste card, the coteries, at times,slap fabricated charges against others, supported by fake witnesses. The authorities have turned a blind eye to resultant frustration simmering across the board. The GOI has fuelled mistrust among different communities .For instance, DOP&T’s guidelines on Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) envisage the mandatory presence of an SC/ST officer to participate in DPC’s meetings.The doubting Thomas acts as a watchdog on DPC’s decision making and forces his/her subjective opinions on the outcome.Reservation is an electoral fraud for political parties. Mayavati is desperately trying to woo the “Brahmins” while demanding at the same time reservations in promotions. What extraordinary paradoxes.Baba Bheem Rao Ambedkar would never have approved of the present condescending approach towards SC/ST that makes them dependent on the government. It is high time the law makers rose above vote bank politics and took legislative measures to stop further division of Indian society
