the condition of lower caste people in Up , Bihar , Jharkhand , South etc. is pathetic .. you don't need reservation quantified as 15 % ... 7.5 % or 50 % BUT WHAT IS REQUIRED IS ::: THAT THE INTERVIEW BOARDS SHOULD HAVE REPRESENTATION FROM ALL SEGMENTS .. CASTES .. SO THAT SOLVES THE problem .. NO RELIGION BASED REPRESENTATION BECAUSE IN INDIA all other religions except parsis and kashmiris are basically following indian caste system ... e.g :: serds = bedis .. papas .. jats .. majhabis .. and so on so forth ..

Yes it is required not as a political point of view but it is very much essential from the social point of view. I read the arguments, but feel disheartened. Major are thinking keeping them as center point. We have got opportunity and facility to study in good environment but those who didn't got must be favored by giving reservations. Caste is the criterion taken by the govt, because India's culture is like that and its to major extent true that certain caste dominated over and restricted the growth of others. Now if govt is trying to make social justice by giving the opportunity to them, i don;t think it is bad. If u go to any govt organization you will found that still discrimination is prevailing and social justice id denied again. If we want to close this policy lets work together in upbringing them to one platform but we never do this because of fear where we will stand. Yes i agree there is some modification required in the policy like once a family member has got a gazetted post or big post then he should be denied any preference to their children as they are getting similar facility like others. Mental sledging to those working now should be banned and stringent action should be taken. Finally i request all do not oppose support this idea with a better and positive view to help India grow at faster rate. Jai Hind Santosh Sinha

A major segment of our society is living in utter poverty. Nobody can deny the fact, that castism is the root cause of acute imbalance of wealth distribution in Indian communities which subsist over centuries. After the independence, the idea of Job Reservation came as one of the several proposals which are aimed to uplift the weakened communities. Several decades after still that segment of our society did not get the social justice. The main reason for that, I believe, our Politian regardless of their community, forward or backward, were not sincere and honest to the poorest people of India. I strongly support the idea of reservation in private sector and believe this is an opportunity to declare our solidarity with the poor people of India. Private sector gets many benefits from the Government and Local Bodies. The contrast is that though the private sector contributes to our economy, the social set ups not help to share the benefits of their contribution equally between the communities. So I support the idea of job reservation in Private Sector as a good move to construct socialist India. The proposal for reservation in private sector should be implemented for several reasons, but more efficient controls by regulations and stricter supervision with close monitoring are essential to bring positive out comes.

Dear Mr.Santosh Sinha, I understand your feelings for the up liftment of the downtrodden, But in India, Unfortunately the beneficiaries are identified and then suitable policy is framed, which is suppose to be other way around. I argue on the same stand point. which i discussed before. Let us only talk about bringing social justice by providing adequate facilities and support, under any criteria, Primarily Economic condition. because That is the main hurdle in every developmental plan. Once that is provided by identifying the needy in the society, then choosing the right career and Lifestyle should be Equal with every citizen of the country. Can any one argue with me that All those who belong to the so called upper class are socially sound and healthy and all those who are under privileged or backward class in terms of caste,creed and colour are socially poor and do require reservation to get a Job in India. Make education free for all up to school Level, atleast up to 10th std, and in some cases up to 12th based on need, remove the discrimination from the minds of Children and see a prosperous India visualised by the great Leaders like APJ Abdul kalam.

Hi, I oppose the idea of reservation based on Caste,creed, colour. The reservation, as bijumon put it was one of the measures to elevate the downtrodden to bring it on par in the Society which was well twisted by the Politician for their benefits. So many states in India are working on caste based vote banks, There were great leaders and freedom fighters who were fighting for the up liftment of the under privileged in those days. while now this has been used as a trump card to gain political mileage which is absolutely not necessary. Even to the extent using caste to their advantage to win elections. Yes. Definitely socially backward class should be identified based on the their economical condition, necessary and suitable support in terms of Education, food, shelter can be provided to bring them in the soceity, later gaining entry in to the jobs should be purely based on merit. Is there any one in the country say that all those who are backward class in terms of caste are poor and upper class are Rich. Are Lalu yadav and Mayavati are poor, their children do need reservation. can any one agree with this. So There is no need for any reservation in the Private sector at all. Prabhakar

it may be true that reservation is to help underprivilaged and weaker section of the society, but to what extent and how long? even though Govt. do have fine systems in every thing but not executing properly is because of this reservation evil.people without any much knowledge will not allow any development as they will always under constant fear of being downgrading.there should not be any reservations in any private sectors as it hampers quality indulged in services of that sector.when human beings are not created/borned without any reservations Govt should think in some other ways to make them competetive by providing adequate financial help and see that one will put in thier real effort to get / achieve the goals.

The idea behind reservation is to help underprivileged and weaker section of the society. Very sad to see that this purpose has been defeated due to poor exectution and some other reasons. The deserving people are not getting the due benefit instead other powerful people(creamy layer!) are taking advantage. The same will happen anywhere govt. will apply reservation whether its education or private sector.

Reservation quota had made it too difficult for a fresher to get a govt. job at present. If reservations would start covering private sector, then it would b quite more tough competition in private sector too. There would b more than enough opportunities for categories under reservation, but what about generals.......??? It would simply raise the cut-off for general category everywhere.
