Arguments against the reservation in

India
 “Reservation in India is given on the basis of caste system which is not fair because,
there are so many person of other caste are really poor and seeking the need of reservation
for protect their rights and equality in the society and the other hand many person in the
reserve category enjoying the privilege who are not eligible for reservation because there
is no creamy layer for the SCs and STs.
 Only educated and developed family of reserve categories are enjoying the all most
benefit of the reservation because the poor and rural areas are even do not know the
concept itself.

 Caste Based Reservation only perpetuates the notion of caste in society, rather than
weakening it as a factor of social consideration, as envisaged by the constitution.
Reservation is a tool to meet narrow political ends.
 Allocating quotas is a form of discrimination which is contrary to the right to equality
provided in the constitution of India.

 Reservations fragmenting Indian society into groups. It also divides the societies into
different political groups which ultimately injure badly the democracy of India and also
the unity and integrity of India. Because these political group always elected on the basis
of the majority of the voter of the particular society. Even after the election these people
do welfare only the community whom they belong or the group which elected them. This
phenomenon raises the level of corruption and the bribe to other community.
 Because of reservation the different anti-reservation communities organised by the
non-privileged society which generate the riots and also destroy the public properties.
Recently Gurjjar community of Rajasthan created many riots for the demanding the
reservation and destroyed the Railway path, burst many vehicles and stopped the both
roads as well as the Railways which kept passenger on wait.

 The policy of reservation has never been subject to a widespread social or political
audit till today. Before extending reservation to more groups, the entire policy needs to be
properly examined, and its benefits over a span of nearly 60 years have to be gauged.
 The people in rural their primary needs schools, health care and infrastructure in rural
areas are not benefitted by the reservation because they are not able make eligible to take
any benefit from the reservation policy. Till the student is not provided with the better
level of the education they cannot lift up any benefit of the reservation. Poor people from
"forward castes" do not have any social or economical advantage over rich people from
backward caste. In fact traditionally Brahmins have been poor.
 The real benefit is always taken by the educated people or the urban people while it is
provided for the depressed class.

 This policy of the government has already caused increase in brain-drain and may
aggravate further. Under graduates and graduates will start moving to universities for
higher education.
 Reservation stopped some very intelligent people to grow further because they believe
in the reservation and sit lazy to keep hope only on the reservation. Means of saying of
that many people can do something better which they do not do because of reservation

 Reservation provided in every department of service except the defence and scientific
research which decrease the efficiency level of the system everywhere. For example the
reservation of promotion for SCs and STs in the government services which is really bad,
like promotion of teacher to the lecturer or from lecturer to the professor, even though he
or she does not how to teach the higher class but he get opportunity in free which not only
feels him or her uncomfortable but the student lose the higher level of education.
 The reservation in India should be similar to like in U.S.A., US affirmative action
does not include quotas or reservations of seat. Explicit quotas or reservations are illegal
in the USA. In fact, even a points system to favour certain candidates was ruled
unconstitutional. Further, affirmative action is essentially banned in the states of
California, Washington, Michigan, Nebraska and Connecticut. The use of the phrase
"affirmative action" to describe the Indian system hides the stark difference between the
two systems.

 Reservation in India provided equal in rural and urban areas is not fair because most
opportunity in modern Indian cities is in businesses that are owned by people who are not
from the highest castes. Being high caste in a city is no advantage.
 The policy of the reservation failed to create an atmosphere favourable to the creation
of casteless society and on the other hand promoted the formation of many groups.
 Reservation in educational institution is some time prevent very brilliant student to
enter into institution even after getting very good marks because of this caste based
reservation.
 It is some way became the reason of the brain-drain because if the talent student does
not get the admission in the country’s institution, they prefer to go abroad for study and
later on settle there for the good salary. So because of it talented Doctor, Engineer etc.
sifted to the foreign countries.
 The continuous caste based reservation is bad for the country because unless the
complete eradication of the caste system, casteless society cannot come into picture and
hence discrimination and other caste based problem cannot be solved.
 It is very shameful in context to politics that politician of the country continuously
using it as the tool of getting more and more votes without caring the overall interest of
the country.”
