Gujjars – A Threat to Earn an Intimidation
It seems an easy way out.
Has’nt it been for centuries, the desire to lead an easy life. A life void of hardships and sweat.
Reservation in my opinion is exactly just that.
Get subsidy or get it all free since you are underprivileged!!
I’d regard this, if it honored a handicap.
But a well able man / a woman! A definitive NO!!
I do not earn hard and pay my taxes to feed off someone who could earn to pay taxes too.
Reservation to underprivileged classes came out as a byproduct of a badly structured class based society in the early 1900’s in India., an idea to alleviate the downtrodden.
This was a ticking time bomb and it evolved into today’s age as a means to an easy life.
To draw parallels in the disparity in our country would be jaw dropping.
We boast of rich natural resources, large human power, a well educated English speaking society , the silicon valley of Asia and to beat it all out a Hub for outsourced highly skilled IT jobs.
On the other hand we have a large section of populism who claims to come from an underprivileged class demanding or in better words rhetorically threatening claims for special privileges!
Why?
Yes, one argument would be that the government isn’t doing enough, but it isn’t a reason enough.
There are little jobs one could do with self respect than sit coolly and earn freely claiming underprivileged status.
A solution to this in a governing body as adamant as ours etched with red tape would be hard to fathom.
Yet, it doesn’t justify privileges!
The government heeding eventually to such a request would be further atrocious.
Heeding to such requests would force other communities to come forward for similar confirmations.
Justice on this would be only done if the Constitution in itself could be changed!
To Remove reservations in total and apply it to only those who are physically / mentally challenged.
Do we see that in the offing in
NOT IN A MILLION YEARS.

That really makes a lot of sense. A very good point and countries that encourage this kind of practise are ultimately shooting themselves in the foot.
