The Quota(Khota) System

I guess it was a breezy evening in December and I was walkin across the road with my two roommates finishing my evening snacks when my friend called me telling it was one of the easiest papers he had ever seen in the toughest exams in the world, mr.CAT.!! But just before 3 weeks I had to hear the same voice but in a different tone and now it was to tel me that he did not get a call from any IIM despite having very high percentile. Yeah, that's where this quota system comes into picture.

In India starting from the era of Vedas and dictatorship Govt. by the kingdoms, we have observed a greater differences between people grouping on the basis of caste system and we have seen so much violence and controversies happening on the same issue. But are we really able to bring equality among the people just by giving a huge percentage of reservation? Afterall what is the meaning of giving reservation on the basis of caste?!!

I will give you an example for this,A farmer is there with 5 acres of barren land with no money to invest wants to send his son to a reputed institution but he won't get any benefits just because he is not a part of quota and he has to sell his land for giving education to his son. But on the other hand, a rich person under quota gets all the facilities for free..!!And there is no need to tell you about the polititians of our great country who have spoilt the name of their posts by their idiotism.

All of us fight for "equality" in the society. But tell me where is the meaning for the word?!!I am not telling that giving reservation is a fault. But the way or the criteria in which it is implemented should be changed. We are facing the imbalance in the race for Equality :-(
