Reservations
Dr. Manmohan Singh is by far the most educated prime-minister India has seen. Browsing through his CV, I think, globally no other country’s primer will have educational background as good as Dr. Singh. In the past 2 years as PM, he has made our country proud. Probably he truly made “India shining” and redefined brand “India”. I am not sure if the credit for India’s economic prosperity should be give to the government or not, but as a prime minister he can always claim for the credit!
On policy fronts, I really appreciate his capabilities to project India as a mature and responsible nation. His approach to project India as a helping and elderly brother nation during Tsunami had a big impact, in the way international community looked at India. During those times India’s help to Sri-lanka and Maldives did not go un-noticed, also the decision of not accepting monetary-aid had strengthened India’s rising position in global-economy.
Again his ministerial capabilities surfaced when he pursued the might superpower Americans to think of changing their own legislation, so that India could get civilian nuclear energy. I am not sure if the nuclear deal with USA shall be sealed or not, but the hype around the deal has definitely worked as free publicity for India’s strengths and capabilities. I believe triggering the nuclear-deal with USA is this government’s biggest achievement.
In past two years Dr. Singh has very maturely acted as a prime minister. Even without clear majority in the parliament, he tactfully handled economic growth issues, sideling the annoying communist-left. To tell the truth, I am a pro-BJP person, but looking at government’s past two years performance had definitely changed my views on Congress and I started to like them. However recently, Dr. Singh’s comments for pushing reservations in Private Indian Inc. were absurd, and totally off-track from economic progress.
How could someone as learned as Dr. Singh profess about jobs given not on merit bases but on cast and economic conditions? I can understand its once again regional elections time, yet the statement is too big for consideration as just another election promise. It more or less defines the ideology Congress wants to adopt for securing there minority and illiterate vote bank.
It’s been more than 50 years we attained our Independence and I am depressed to learn that even educated ministers profess for reservations. I am not against up-bringing of the so called socially and economically backward class, but history’s a proof that favourism has never reaped any developing results. On the contrary it had negative impacts on development.
I believe if there needs to be reservation; it should only be at the kinder garden school, where at the first step of up-bringing, the kids are given an equal opportunity baseless of their family background. From there onwards it should be a merit based selection of candidates. If money is an issue, then government should come up with 0% interest loans for child care and education. There are many other ways of bring up a deprived community, but definitely the reservation of jobs in private sector is by far the most absurd policy any government can think off!
India is considered a major player in building the 21st Century, and whom does our government want to lead in this roll? The truly worthy people, or the under-performers who have secured highly responsible jobs, just because they were born in an environment with fewer facilities? It’s a question the government should ask themselves. What’s more important to them, some votes, or the future of the country and partly of the world?
