India in 1947 was divided into India and Pakistan on the basis of communities and today again India has divided into General OBC and SC/ST's again on the basis of communities. When we talk about secular India what does we exactly mean? Does it mean that everybody will be treated equally or it means giving reservations and dividing the new generation of students into different castes?
When India is on the verge of becoming a superpower with the best brains in the world, we should not divide the students rather try to build a foundation for casteless India.
I support reservation if it is genuinely for the people those who are backward and not of some particular caste. How can we define that some particular castes are really backward? Government should be clear that reservation is for castes or for backward class.
In fact there are people who are economically even in the General category, don't they require reservation? What about them?
In my opinion reservation for students is good thing but provided it should for student those who cannot afford higher education and not for those who are of some particular caste.
The Government should do something at the grass root level like providing scholarships and increasing the number of seats and colleges rather than implementing reservations for castes.
However one thing I like about this verdict is that the government has not included the creamy layer in the reservations.
