RESERVATION AND ALL THAT JAZZ

Its 5 in the morning and i'm not sleepy, So i thought i'd write something random(as usual). I guess it'll be about one of the things that chased me out of india in the first place. Its recently come back into debates with the SC taking a strong stand against it.
Frankly i don't see the point in increasing the reservation by giving 27% reservation to OBCs. It just makes no sense at all... we've been a republic for 57 years and then suddenly one day a Mr Arjun Singh thinks y not get a few more votes by increasing reservation a bit?
It 's just brilliant.. who's gonna oppose him anyway? they all want votes. It's gonna help a lot of poor chilren get education. what total absolute crap!
Actually lets put the arguement for reservation first-
1)These ppl have been discriminated against for centuries and so they need to be given reservation to rise to the levels of the other ppl
2) They were discriminated against now they need a chance to discriminate(crazy! but its really the arguement in some places)
3) They're poor and incapable of studying as well as the better of ppl so naturally they need to be given reservation

OK... i don't know y i need to argue against these points but... i'm bored and an insomniac..so here i go-
We 've had 23 % reservation for 57 years now... way past the initial period of 10 years set my ambedkar... i don't mind it having been exteded say thirty years or something, so that the actually poor SC and STs get to know about reservation and they utilise it and these ppl who benefit would help there succeeding generations to study and be well preprared and competitive with the rest.. Has this happened? actually what has happened is these ppl think that we have reservation so what s the point is studying so hard...and they get into seats which more often than not someone else deserves more. But you cna't blame these ppl ofr having gotten used to it.. you should keep reducing reservation slowly say by 2 % a year or something and get it to 0 reservation instead of suddenly making 50 % resrvation
Another thing is that OBCs have never got reservation - so giving them 27 % is not like increasing reservation... true, but OBC ppl have been studyhing colleges and schools for 57 years without reservation, true they might have been fewer than upper class ppl, but they're defenitely increasing because they are getting more educated, this sudden increase in reservation will reduce their determination to work hard.
Thirdly, reservation i aggree will have helped a lot of poor ppl to date... i'm sure there a lot of stories aobut how poor ppl were saved my reservation. But have these ppl passed on what they have benefitted to the rest? if so y do we still need the same level of reservation(let alone increase it) shouldn't we start decreasing it? If not , then what s the point of reservation? it' s not served it purpose till date y perpetuate such a collosal waste pf resources which could be spent on more talented ppl?

Lets say you refuse to think logically, and you want reservation because it helsps uplift the backward ppl... then y not give them reservation in institutes other than IITs, AIIMS and IIMs which are the crown jewels of the indian education system?I 'm not saying these ppl are less talented or stupid..what i'm saying is what abt the poor little rich kid who wasted two or more years of his life for that entrance..bear in mind that JEE is regarde as THE most meritocratic exam in the world...so money hardly comes in the picture.

Then you might say the backward ppl don't have access to the education facilities that the upper castes have..In this regard i have two points... firstly there are hardly any schools today which do not give you education just because you are an SC, ST or OBC.
Secondly reservation in higher education institutes is pointless because we need to give them basic education first before giving them reservation in higher institutes.

One more point is , y do we need reservation in jobs and post grad courses...these ppl got reservation as an undergrad, they studied in the same college living together with similar ppl (only maybe an upper caste person) have'nt they had the same opurtunities and education now? Y give them any furher reservation????

and so i end this pointless arguement by saying again that increasing reservation is total utter crap.... and that i need to go to sleep

p.s. i'll be back soon... i've got more random stuff in this brilliant head of mine... what with exams going on and lots of time in my hands....
