Last week parliament of India passed a constitution amendment allowing government of India to reserve seats in government jobs and educational institutions for people not eligible for cast based reservation based on their economical condition. For this maximum quota for reservation is increased to 60% from existing cap of 50% imposed by supreme court for cast based reservation.
The people who were advocating for removal of cast based reservation and providing poverty based reservation. Now suddenly those people have started opposing economic condition based reservation on ground that it should be below 50%. These people who don't qualify for poverty based reservation want 50% seats for them. Let us see what is is their population.
20% of the entire population in India belong to the Schedule castes. This means that nearly 26 crore people in India belong to SC community. That's why they are given 15% reservation in government sector.
9% of the entire population belongs to Scheduled Tribes. This means they are nearly 11.7 crore in population. They are provided with 7.5% reservation in government sector.
41% of the entire population belongs to Other backward Caste. This means that they are nearly 53.3 crore in population. 27% reservation is provided to them in government sector.
At last remaining 30% are general category people being 39 crore out of the whole.
Now 15% of general category is given reservation of 10%.
So population of rich general class is just 15%. 40% of unreserved seats are available for these 15% rich general class candidates but they are not happy with it. I don't see any reasonable justification for their unhappiness.
Only explanation for their unhappiness is that greed increase with profit. These 15% people were capturing 50% of the posts by using their money but now they will be able to capture only 40% seats. If equal opportunities are provided to every one then every group of 15% population will have 15% representation in government jobs. But 15% rich general cast is having 50% representation which does not look fair. If government has capped their representation to 40% then I don't see anything wrong in that.
Now a days I am getting lots of messages regarding ST topper's marks being less than lowest unreserved category qualifying candidate for IAS exam. But surprisingly marks of OBC topper and SC topper are missing that message. I don't think it is just a co-incidence. Their marks were left out deliberately because their marks were more than lowest qualifying candidate's marks in IAS exam.
As per advocates of removal of reservation system money does not matter and just attitude matters. Now let us see how much marks lowest qualifying candidate in EWS category scores in IAS exam compared to OBC, SC and ST category toppers. I also want to see how much marks EWS topper gets compared to OBC, SC and ST toppers.
I don't any reason to believe that it is unfair for 85% of Indian to have 60% seats available to them.
I think cap of economically weaker section should be decided based on salary of the job applied. I think for a job of peon with salary 20,000 per month income limit should be 2 lakhs per year and for job of a IAS officer whose salary is 1 lakh per month income limit should be 12 lakh per year rather than being flat 8 Lakhs for all category of jobs.
