So we need to end it. Right?
#Sarcasm That would be unjust for all the lower class people who have been treated like slaves ever since the dawn of time.So we should allow reservation to continue till the end of time while cursing Hindus and their Caste system at the same time
Don't get personal!!!
When you think you are treating them on the same scale, you are actually not. For a casteist person(or even a progressive non-casteist person from upper caste) who has contacts in all fields of work(because his caste peers and other people who will be willing for a quid-pro-quo), buying his son good education and good job(and good contracts) is not a big deal.
No. Caste system is needed only by caste leaders and politicians. Lower caste people will want to do away with their caste name and their reservations, if it is genuinely possible to ensure equal opportunities for all and neutralize the undue privilege. Right now the discourse in this country is pictured as if the lower caste people are being given a privilege called reservations. What Ambedkar wanted was a justiciable counter for the privilege which the upper castes already had and have in this society.

I started on why we still vote on CASTE lines & the debate turned on why Reservations......
I don't think Reservation is a Political issue (though it has made so) but rather a social issue....
I personally feel that reservations are need for a Socially divided society like India (though have felt the effects of it in many competitive exams when i was not able to clear them by 1-2 marks while a person in reserved category used to get in even on half marks of what i scored
As @Bang Galore said that 1000s years of oppression cannot be done away with in just 68 years. We have to provide an equal platform to the oppressed class & that's why we need reservations. The solution can be that when one member/generation of a family bears the fruit of reservation & becomes financially & socially stronger, the reservation for upcoming generations should be stopped & then other families/people should be given the chance. That's how i see a balanced solution.
& @Aminroop Caste system is not a certification which is provided on birth & can be easily do away with, over the 1000s of years of practice it has become the second nature of people. people start acting the way a person from there caste is expected to. So, it's not easy at all. What is more essentially needed is to educate people or raising awareness among them as to how "SOMETIMES" it is important to think BEYOND caste. In a society where everyone will start acting selfish & can't think above his/her caste, that society has no future whatsoever!
& @Aminroop RSS doesn't believe in Caste system??? Please request them to make (just once) a DALIT HEAD!
