Dishonouring Education

Education is a gift of GOD to humanity. It is the most sacred and divine thing on God’s earth and needs to be fair in all respects.But, the reservations in the education is just a step ahead in dishonouring God’s this very gift.
How can we think of a talent not getting the needed education just because another fellow belongs to some particular caste? This is just ruining the talent rather than developing and exploring it.Further, there are a no. of another reasons for eradicating all such reservations in education.
In the first place, that was history (after independence) when such castes really existed in India.But, in today’s scenario, this is hardly the case. There is no separate caste existing as such. The castes which existed that time have come out of age now. We talk of a state that is secular and free from the notion of castes. And by making reservations a part of our society, we ourselves are promoting the cause by identifying different castes

Doesn’t this Quota or reservations serve in political parties’ motive of electoral votes? Doesn’t in most of the cases benefit goes to the high class people with sons of politicians or high profile people getting into high esteemed institutions like IIT’s and IIM’s?Is the benefit (if such castes exist) really passed to the people who deserve it?

Rather, poverty is more widespread in India than any other thing. Can’t we just go by providing free education to anyone below poverty line (provided one has the talent and deserves the same)?

In such a scenario of reservations, had we have proper thought of the future? What will happen when rubber meets the road? Imagine somebody non-deserving getting into a medical college and becoming a doctor .Can our society rely on such a doctor when question is of life or death? Do our worthy law makers ever want to get themselves operated by such doctors?

Further, the real talent is being ruined and lost in the crowd due to all this. And we are laying foundation for an Indian future that is not bright enough.

If government really thinks for providing any privilege to such sections of the society, there exist a no. of other ways to uplift these sections.Probably,education is not the rightly and thoughtfully picked choice for the same.

It would be in the honour of Goddess Saraswati-‘Devi Of Vidya(Knowledge)’ to eradicate all reservations in society, whether it is regional ,religional or caste-based,and making education a fair thing for all.
