The recent decision of SC to stay the OBC quota in the education system, has once again sparked off many controversial issues.
1. Is the Government decision Correct?
2. Is it a politically motivated move being carried out to appease some groups ?
3. How far it is correct to think about the quota system even after sixty years of Independence?
4. Will this government decision not dilute the education standard.?
5 Are we not trying to divide the nation by implementing the quota system even after so many years of Independence.?
6. Do we expect to be labelled by the world as "Reserved" country ?
No body denies that these underprivileged, downtrodden people should be brought in main stream and government should take all steps to implement this.The quota system decision of the government gives a birth right to these people irrespective of their abilities. This will lead to the dilution of the education standard ultimately leading to the poor quality of the students coming out of this system.
In fact there are other ways of upliftment of these people.All these people should be provided with free education,scholarships,food and shelter and all possible help to see that really deserving students come up and stand for competition. It is absolutely wrong to underestimate the intelligence of these people. They do have the same level of intelligence as compared to normal people but with the only difference that because of the economical and social backwardness it has been subdued. Right social reforms in these directions will also give very fruitful results.
If we have to carve a niche on the world map, we should definitely think in these direction rather than pulling the nation backwards by still thinking in terms of of the quota system so that it also will not prove to be an injustice to rest of the people.Labels: OBC quota, Social |
