United we stand, divided we INDIA !

Not a long time ago, there was a water stream recently freed by a dominant group of foreign species. The waves were too violent for anything constructive to be done upon the stream. So, a group of "intellectuals" came up with an idea for soothing the water flow. They introduced valves in the water stream. The flow of water could now be controlled and waves were comparatively less violent now. The revolutionary idea of introducing valves, proved to be very successful and as time passed more valves were introduced, the water became calmer. Gradually the water flow became stable and the number of valves that could be introduced reached its saturation point. Water is now stagnant and no more violent.

Will introduction of any more valves do any good or would it just create ripples and lead to violent wave formation again?

The answer is pretty clear. Introduction of valves seemed a good idea in the beginning and also produced great results. But in long term, periodic introduction of valves without realizing the saturation point makes no sense at all.

Same is the case with the world's biggest democracy, India, right now. India has way too many reservations quotas for its own good. It was supposed to be a wonderful act for upbringing the backward classes and for establishing equality, but it is not helping its root cause anymore. It was like giving someone a name and then asking everyone not to call them by the very name given to them.

The Act of reservation of a class itself divides the people and violates the very cause it was supposed to accomplish. Reservation based on caste was short term solution to a problem so big that is costed the country its independence for almost 200 years ie. division.

The only good thing that happened to Indians was that they were united for the first time in the history. They stood together against the British to be free again. Now, the people are fighting to be divided again. Every social community is demanding for reservation. So what's next?

Only acceptable reservation that will sustain is the reservation based on the financial condition and physical disabilities. Only those people should get quota who cannot afford to get in some institution financially or are specially able, rest we all are very much same. So, the bottom line is no one deserves more or less than anyone. Everyone is born equal, should live equal and die equal. Nothing less, nothing more.
