MERIT VS. RESERVATION: PROS AND CONS

Abstract

Reservation is currently the most contentious issue in the country. The vast majority of people agree with it, Despite the fact that the concept of reservations was mentioned in Dr B.R. Ambedkar's original draft of the Indian constitution, they are now unaddressed. In a variety of ways, he attempted to empower and uplift the poorer parts of society. He also set a ten-year deadline, although political intervention in the constitutional amendment has continued to this day. The reserve is largely responsible for the differences in our society today. As a result, competition for each position grew, increasing the number of unemployed persons. Politicians that support reservation laws do so in order to increase their popularity and gain more votes. They achieve this by leveraging their people's caste identities. The legislators benefit from the booking, while the average public does not. They are unaware of our difficulties because they are only concerned with retaining their power. Reservations must be accepted by the general public, but they are not a universal platform. The government of this country should prioritize ensuring that all citizens have equal access to opportunities. Reservations based on caste, religion, or minority status, as well as other forms of bias, should be removed from the system.
