Past few days Haryana is seeing violent protest by Jat community demanding reservation in government educational institutions and government jobs. These kinds of reservations are against right of equal opportunities granted by constitution. Some people are showing their power to blackmail the government and killing meritocracy.
I accept all this arguments but want to remind you about management quotas in private educational institutions. Private educational institutions produce 75% of total doctors produced in India. 50% of these seats are reserved for relatives of management committee. This reservation for rich people is approved by government and judiciary. This reservation is hitting meritocracy harder than cast based reservation in government collages and jobs. Why government and judiciary fail to take any action when rich people show their power and demand 50% reservation for their children in schools and colleges? Why no one express unhappiness on this sorry state of affairs? Why this reservation for rich people allowed in name of freedom to run private business?
No private business must be allowed to discriminate between customers. If someone opens an insurance company or a bank, can we allow him/her to charge different premium or interest rates based on cast of the customer? The answer is no because right to run private business don't allow anyone to discriminate between people. Similarly private educational institutions must be prevented from discriminating students based on management seats and public seats. When general seat students fail to get admission at 95% marks, management seat student get admission at 55% marks. These management seat students produce incompetent doctors and engineers and we have to bear with these incompetent people. Government and Judiciary need to rise up to task to restoring true meritocracy in India where no seats are reserved to rich people and education is provided to every talented and hardworking person of India irrespective of financial condition of his/her parents.
