Brain Drain - Due to Reservation and Crap Politics

From past few months I was hearing from many of my married friends that they are planning to settle down in US. I was surprised after hearing this because India is developing at such a good rate and even salary packages here are as comparable to other countries like US.
But the reason they have given me is very much convincing. They feel that future of there children are not good in India because of this reservation thing. Economy is no doubt growing at a very fast rate but inflation and cost of living is also increasing at double the rate of growth of country. Admissions in good schools in metropolitan cities are very tough and you have to pay a huge sum of money to get admission. And after clearing schools, it’s really touch to get admission in good college because more that 50% of seats are reserved. And even after clearing graduation this reservation continues to jobs also and who knows this reservation thing will be applied in private sector also some years down the line.
The news we read in newspapers, magazines and hear discussions on news channels that reverse brain drain are very much happening in India these days is all crap. And people who got settled in US and other countries few years back are now returning back to India and rethinking on there decision.

If we take an example of a family who is earning 30-40% more than what he was earning 1-2 year back. Rent he was paying before was around 6000 but now it’s around 9000. Commodity prices are almost doubles now i.e. prices of dal and Masala etc. Vegetable and fruits prices are increased by 30-40%, petrol prices have also increased. EMI’s of various loans have increased which have affected almost all middle class families. Govt. has dug a big hole and attracts middle class families to jump into it and now as many middle class families are inside that so govt. has start throwing dust on them. Numbers of other taxes are also introduced like road tolls on various roads, VAT, property tax etc.
So, final money which comes into pocket at the end of month is actually decreased irrespective of drastic increase in salaries.

Crime rate is increasing in almost all cities. Politicians are still filling there pockets on the name development. Living cost is increasing. Govt. is still playing vote bank politics and attracts lower class by reservation etc. But my request to govt. is to please pay some attention on these actual cases where people of country start thinking that this country is not so good as it looks and start moving to other countries for there and there children development. So, please stop giving good figures of economic growth and other developments but look into this matter seriously otherwise in future only MNC and foreign people will stay in India and actual citizens will reside in some other country and nobody will actual reap the benefits of this development

Reservation in private companies

Two days back I was watching the news channels and they are showing lots of news about reservations. I feel so depress about those news and had switch off my tv. Government had already implemented the reservations in basic education then it is extended to govt. jobs. That was somewhere around 27 % for SC/ST and OBC. But now they have extended it to 54% and also extended it for higher education system too. I can never understand why this is been done. Why not to provide them good primary education, which by anyway govt. is spending 1000’s cores of Rs. to fulfill this. If a student is performing well in his primary education then there is no question that he didn’t get admission in higher education. And if you are providing all education to these category of people then why should there be any kind of reservation in jobs. Government is just spoon feeding them to get good amount of vote bank. Government have also included creamy layer in this. I couldn’t understand this also.

In actual scenario only creamy layer is taking benefit of this reservation i.e. people who actually not required this are having reserved seats everywhere. I still remember my college days there were many students from reserved category and most of them are actually rich and had avail better facilities at there home than students in so called general category.
And students of reserved category can take the seat of general category but vice-a-versa was not allowed.
Currently, if we take the case of lower caste people then by doing this reservation thing rich are becoming more rich and poor becoming poor. So my question to govt. is DO WE REALLY NEED THIS RESERVATION IN THIS DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY WHERE EVERYBODY IS SAID TO BE AT SAME LEVEL?

There can be other better things which can be done to promote poor people of lower caste. But I am sure that reservation can never be a solution to this.
Government is now thinking to implement this for jobs in private companies also. Did govt. ever thing of economic conditions after those implementation?
MNC have no boundation to stay in India. If govt. will pressurize them to implement this then they can move out of this country any moment of time and can setup in other companies like china etc which can give them cheaper things and freedom. One side ministers are callings representative of MNC to setup there plant/office in India to give more jobs and better economic development and on the other hand govt. is thinking on these lines to make those companies leave this country.
Suppose if they don’t get the kind of people from reserved class in jobs they were looking for then they are bounded to reduce the intake quality. Do u think this will be going to happen and will solve there problem?

My only request to govt. is to please try other ways also to uplift lower cast and poor peoples which can solve this problem in better way and please keep their vote bank politics away from lacks of innocent students which are preparing day and night to get admission in reputed colleges and then to get jobs.

Mandal commission

This week must be depressing for many students who are studing hard and must be putting their all time in books just to get admission in top most institutes in India like IIT’s and IIM’s, after listening the views of govt. of increasing the Quota for lower caste peoples. I myself was also really depressed after hearing all this news. I simply cannot able to make out that why these politicians always ready to play with carrier of lacks of students just to increase their vote bank. And why they run away from the actual problem and actual feasible solution they can provide for the problem. This reservation was very hardly pushed by late B.R. Ambedkar to provide attract students from lower caste and then finally implemented by mandal commission in 1990 by Hon. Ex. Prime minister V.P Singh.

But I still question him firstly that why this quota system is on caste based and not on the economic status of the family of the student. Govt. is running away from doing this work and recognise the actual needy person for this quota. But I think this can be easily done just by channelising the system, and we can get the list of economic status by the help of municipal party, panchayats, IT department and other special formed commetes also can do this. They can list down the people who can actually can’t afford to study and need such kind of facility and then govt. can take step for them to provide them way and facilities for education.

My next question is Do we really want any kind of quota for any kind of people? I think by putting quota we are telling them not to work much hard. Govt. must provide poor student free education instead of quota. Govt. can setup public libraries where student can actually study and prepare himself to face any kind of tuff competition. Right now govt. is providing free education at lower level and providing them free meal also to attract more and more children. If govt. is so confident about the facilities and education

Provided to these students in school then why they need any kind of quota in any exam after there school. They must be competent to crack any exam. But govt. knows that education provided by them is not good and not sufficient, so just to hide this fact they are providing quota at higher level.

My next question is that if we are providing quota in education to make sure that everybody gets equal education then why do they need any kind of reservation in jobs?

If two peoples are passes out from same college and had done same education then why one have any reserved seat in govt. jobs.

Next thing comes in my mind is that govt. is already providing basic education at school and college level then if even after student is not capable of getting job or getting admission in post graduation then they themselves are responsible for this and not govt. They themselves had not studied hard during there schooling and graduation. So I think Quota in post graduate course must be fully removed and admissions must be fair and equal for everybody.

Now I am taking the case of particular IIM’s. Let we provide the quota in these management institutes and students take admission in them. If they can pay the fee for these institutes then why can’t they afford their study at any level? And why they need any excuse for poor background family.

We can think of a faculity who will be teaching the students of a class which contains 50% students having education level and mental level of 2 and other having education level of 4-5. So to provide them education equally they cannot take the student of level 5 to 10 just only because level 2 cannot directly be taken to level 10.

So faculty also can balance and take whole class maximum just to level 7-7.5. And finally 50% of class suffers, as they are expecting them to reach at a level of 9-10 but they will be at level of just 7-7.5. And this results in dropping the level and quality of education of these top most institutes who had already spend decades of there efforts to reach that level and had got recognized in all over world.

So in my believe govt. is not doing fair with any body. Neither with general category students nor with poor students (reserve category). They are actually closing the way for them to develop their mind and to compete with other guys. And for other students they are lowering the education level.
