The on-going Jat agitation in Haryana is bound to escalate to other states. Reminiscent of Mandal violence.
Having acquired wealth during the Green Revolution and political power through elections, the OBCs demanded more share in country’s administrative apparatus, especially in higher rungs of bureaucracy..
The Machiavellian V P Singh accepted Mandal Commision's recommendations to gain primacy in politics but at cost of country's unity.
Now, the Jat Mahasabha wants reservation out of 27% OBC quota..
The Gurjars are also demanding privileged treatment.
Both, OBC and Jat communities are affluent, educationally and socially more advanced.than many general categories.
Reservations kill the notion of meritocracy.
They bring inefficiency and mediocrity.
They promote further casteism.
Why can't poverty be the sole criteria for reservation ?
FOR HOW LONG WILL INDIA CONTINUE WITH RESERVATION BASED ON ENDOGAMIC SOCIAL GROUPS IN THE GARB OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION ?
