Since its inception in India, reservation received a mixed response. These days it is even criticized. The controversy begins here. When started, it was a requisite for the well-being of the society. People belonging to the backward sections were then treated as slaves to say the least. They lived the most miserable lives that one could ever imagine. They were like puppets in the hands of the rich or higher community people. They were not in a condition to live a desired life of their own.Such was their pathetic condition. But the reservation system has completely changed the situation(probably). They have been given equal if not more opportunities along with the people of higher sections(so called). Now they are able to live their desired lives. But, these days reservation is turning out be a curse to ones who are not eligible for it. It's necessary to give them the scholarships and all regarding education so as to make it sure that those who are economically weak could fulfil their dream of pursuing education. The prevailing question is, to pursue higher education, students from so called backward sections just need 60 to 75 percent in their previous academics where as the students who doesn't come under reservation categories need over 90 percent(in most of the cases). Can this be judged fair? When they are provided with the necessary education, is it necessary to give relaxation in marks or percentage required? It's become likely impossible for a non-reservation student to get a government job. And we have our POLITICIANS to add to the woes. They are the ones responsible for this(may be). They tried to increase their vote bank by giving all the incentives possible to the backward and under-represented communities which gave rise to the present controversy.If this continues in the same manner, may be in the near future, the so called higher communities might find themselves badly in need of these reservations.
