Reservation policy in India :- Review Two Thousand years ago, the great Philosopher Aristotle said “Injustice Arise When equal are treated unequally and unequal are treated equally”. This profound statement is what lies at the heart of equality i.e. a fundamental of Human Rights. Every human simply by virtue of being a human being is entitled to equal treatment. The most significant pervasive and violent discrimination in our country is the centuries old cast system. It was abolished by the constituent in 1952 and untouchability was declared a crime. There was a category of people called Dalit, outside this system who were discriminated and treated as untouchable. They were thus given reservation by the government. Reservation in India is the process of selling aside a certain percentage of seat (vacancies) in government institution for member of backward and under-represented communities. It is a form of quota based affirmative action. Scheduled caste and scheduled tribe and other backward classes are the primary beneficiaries of the reservation policies under the constitution with the objective of ensuring a ‘Level’ playing field. In 1982, the constitution specified 15% and 7.5% of vacancies in public sector and government aided educational institute as a quota reserved for SC and ST candidate respectively for five years, after which it was to be revised. In 1990, Prime Minister V.P.Singh announced that 27% of government position would be set aside for OBC on addition to the 22.5% already set aside for SC and ST. Now reservation has compile up in educational institution in job in state assemblies in parliament and in every feasible sphere. It will be a wonder if this system is really going to help us to raise our standard in every sphere or will this become just a tool in the hand of few to forward their own interest as he has been up to his juncture.
