I can guarantee you these guys have never ran a private business. It’s funny how they pretend as if there is no other country on this planet for these businesses to move on.
Private sector reservation will only make these companies move to other locations and that will be the end of corporate sector in this country.
Seriously who the hell are these uneducated educated communist idiots ? We are not some attractive market where companies would “die to work”.
Also what’s the proof that there is caste discrimination? You think companies ask about caste when you are being interviewed ? Have these idiots even given any interview for a private sector job or are they jobless intellectuals like Karl Marx ? No one cares about caste in a private sector ? In a country where there is a dearth of skilled workers, these idiots think that people will be busy with caste ?
What a bunch of clowns. Do it and you will see the end of this country
I think it is time we accept that caste will never not be the most important factor in India. We should conduct a caste census every year and divide the employment opportunities in public and private sector next year based on the census breakup. And further extension of the same logic would demand that extremely socially deprived subcastes in the scheduled castes and tribes also be alloted individual subquotas. Otherwise how will be negate the dominance of selected subcastes in the quota pie? The government should just make a register of the thousand odd subcastes in India and like the annual budget announce how much employment they are entitled to that year. If 100 % of the jobs are decided on the basis of caste there would be no need for constant rejigging of 50% ceilings or 70% ceilings. Caste (or better yet subcaste) should be the first and foremost determinant to employment, and merit within the caste subgroup should be the next one. That will actually improve social harmony and prevent friction since everyone would know from birth what exactly they are entitled to and would only ever compete with people from their own subcaste. It is better to accept what seems electorally foreordained and ensure a smooth transition.
