Mukul

Welcome and thanks for the feedback.

I agree with you. If there is reservation then it should be based on other parameters like economic conditions etc. and not based on caste. I am not very confident that India will be all that different in 2020 than today because I am not sure whether the population can stomach the drastic changes that are required (I am not speaking of economic change).

Yes I completely second you thought..I myself dropped the Engineering Stream even I scored 90% at 12 just because I HATE Reservation over Merit.and still today we are facing it… But as far as your last 2 paras …India is changing viciously..Somehow when we have an Educated Sensible Ministers in Place they somehow undo all the mistakes in the system which I seem is happening these days with the implementation of RTI, Online systems and the system is becoming transparent.. Believe me India by 2020 will Guide this world but for that the Extremist Groups in religion, caste or other linguals must need to be dealt with strict force..

Welcome Tarun. It might take India a few hundred years to learn this but religious and caste based reservation will not work.

Anger is there so is rage…My maternal uncle once told me that he has to serve people who could even write a letter properly….But the thing is everything is intermixed in India…you see the implementation of Uniform Civil Code is only held up because a particular religious community (or political parties relying on them) are oppose to it.
At one hand we see that people using reservation are abusing their power on the other hand the people are getting persecuted in the hinterland for belonging to particular community. We have failed our country

Thank you for the comments and welcome to the site.

I am not scapegoating. It is one of the real reasons. After 104 years of reservation we still do not have equality. What makes you believe that this policy is working. How can you create “equality” by discriminating against people of the so-called forward caste? Please explain. Thank you.

“The mess that is the Indian government (Federal and State) and the level of corruption and incompetence you find at all levels is a direct result of the reservation policy.”

Well, it is hard to agree. Why find some or the other scapegoat every time we talk about corruption? Reservation is a necessary, with all its disadvantages it is the only way to ensure equity… that is what I strongly feel.

There are cases when a student having got 96% in the 12th,was unable to get admission in the college where as the one who got much less % got the seat under reserved quota.
