Dance Of Reservation

Muslim Murasu, March 2013

Reservation is dubbed in Tamilnadu as the pledge to bring social justice. The policy that had its birth in Brahmin, non-Brahmin divide has now transformed into a deathly implement to balkanize Tamilians. 1871 Madras census report founded this and is being followed for the past 150 years. Caste divides are deepening. It is obvious that every government department, officer and employee are enjoying the cool. Some people enjoy reservation concessions as birthright, bequeathed generation after generation. Government appointment creates new upper class mindset. Social justice falls dead every day. Caste based census has not been taken for eighty two years. But some families enjoy the legacy. Bindeshwari Prasad Mandal commission appointed in 1979 categorized 3743 castes as backward. Reservation policy has acquired the might to disintegrate human hearts.
We have been marginalized for five thousand years. Some people still spend time in rhetoric. On an average, a Tamilian takes twenty five years to finish education. He completes training and becomes an expert at 30. Retirement is at 58. Seven and half crore Tamilians should get the opportunity to enjoy government fund, concessions and facilities. Concession based on caste is a clear violation of human right. Two lakh Tamilians apply for twenty five vacancies. Objective is not to serve Tamil society. Unrestrained power, black money and bribes are alluring. Racist struggle between 143 Backward Castes and 41 Most Backward Castes is leading to loss of lives. Twenty percent reservation for MBC implemented in 1989 is causing more damage.
Reservation policy has been doing the evil job of thrusting caste based on birth and protecting it with all care. Unity among Tamilians was fully shattered. 65 years of fooling is enough. Government appointments from now on should be open only for poor and first generation graduates. Let us leave way with benevolence and humanity.
