Education-Reservation! Boon or Bane!

Tell me something !! 60 years back , we were a nation with a low literacy rate and we had so many "so called" backward communities and castes and these people were not "modern" so we had to have reservations for them to make them come up and so that they will have an equal opportunities ! But now , 60 years on !! we have the same reservation system and so many generations have passed and the economy booming , do we need the reservation system now??? if so , why??.

Consider this scenario , students with 80% marks and who belongs to a forward community is loosing out on an university seat just because the seat has to be on reservation , in this competitive world is this fair?? and the student who gets in because of a reserved seat , struggles to cope up with the demand , if he really deserves it he must have scored good ! . Let alone merit and fair knowledge be an entry judge and not a student's caste and community .
Deserving students are left in the lurch and because of this , the student ends up settling for a course which is available and not what actually they deserve .

If the Government really feels that these SC/st and other backward communities still need , let the Government start special colleges where they only accommodate students from backward castes and the reservation system in rest of the colleges should be scrapped ! .

Government should also ensure that the Colleges/Universities shouldn't monopolies an the education should be affordable and the cost shouldn't be astronomical !...

Hope the Politicians and the Policy makers wake up and let them up bring the deserving candidate based on merit and not on money and reservations!
