Uttar Pradesh is India’s most populous state, sending 80 Members of Parliament to the Lok Sabha. The state is also known for being home to the largest number of Indian prime ministers. Leaders like Jawaharlal Nehru, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Indira Gandhi, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Charan Singh, and Narendra Modi have all won general elections from this state, shaping the course of Indian politics on both national and international fronts.
The state came into existence in 1950 after the United Provinces were renamed Uttar Pradesh. In the year 2000, another state, Uttarakhand, was carved out of UP to give representation to the Himalayan regions in the state. Lucknow is the capital of Uttar Pradesh, and the Allahabad High Court is the highest judicial body in the state.
RESERVATION IS THERE BUT NO GOVERNMENT HAS EVER CONDUCTED ANY SURVEY ABOUT THE OUTCOMES OF IT. RESERVATION COULDN’T LABEL THE GAP BETWEEN CASTS AND COMMUNITIES INSTEAD IT HAS DIVIDED THEM EVEN MORE AND IT HAS INSTIGAED A FEELING OF CAST BASED PARTIALLY IN THE YOUNG MINDS.
If any reserved categories candidates fill their caste at the time of filling application form in NEET Exam. Later on they can shift to general category if they got higher mark
Let’s avoid age relxation factors, what about the eligibility criteria of some exams (say, UGC NET) where reserved category candidates have already availed reservation to qualify for the cutoffs of their own category NOT the general category. Other benefits given such as extra marks on the basis of their castes amounting to the experience they hold.
Moreover, what about horizontal reservations that must be put into consideration. While unreserved female seats/ph seats are reserved across all the categories, Which law highlights their right to migrate to unreserved category on the basis of merit? Such interpretations often confuse and there must be a separate declaration regarding the same.
Unreserved seats are not reserved for General Category candidate and any reserved category candidate qualifying on merit without availing benefit of reservation is treated as candidate selected on merit only. There is no confusion and contradiction in this regard. There is no ambiguity in legal provision, court orders and practice followed by various govt. departments.. Don’t try to create confusion and mislead people with such articles.
Author should have at least once mentioned that this so-called utopian reservation system was supposed to be for only 10 years after independence.
And given the goodness of this system why doesn’t judiciary allow reservation based selections in its own ranks??
To qualify in general seat, there is an age limit. And that age limit has to be observed. No amount of obfuscation can subvert this fact. The author has just done a copy paste job without directly engaging with the central reason that I mention, probably because it is a direct corollary of the rules.
This is 100% true. General category has specific boundaries. Age, attempts, cutoffs etc. If u take any one benefit of category, its clear violation of equality. Since those who want relaxation are already given space through reservation, why open category rules need to be relaxed? If in IAS exam, A general category candidate has opportunity only till 6 atrmepts and 32 age. But if he a reserved candidate with 7th or 8th gets higher marks when he is 35 year old, he is entitled to get selected in his reserved category, not in general even if he is getting higher marks. If he is selected under general, it will be blatant violation of equality and social justice for open category candidates. These elitist, Lutyens intellectual fraternity need to understand social justice concept also applies to general category, not just reserved. General category people are also part of same society. Liberal class is in disdain because of such thinking today in our country. Liberal media speaks only for minorities, and other reserved sections. They don’t understand plight of middle class who don’t have any other benefit. Identify issues which are of concern to all people and put your ideas on them. Don’t be selective to some sections.
