Reservation on Caste basis is detrimental to society. It is spreading hatred and creating inequality in society, which is exactly contradictory to the cause of its origin.

Few months back the Gujjar community of Rajasthan had started violent agitation and had successful in getting their reservation quota increased. They got this by using arm twisting tactics. 

Currently the Patidar community in Gujarat is demanding either removal of reservation or reservation quota for themselves. Their demand is not fully unjustified looking at current situation. If this movement spreads and becomes violent, then government will either suppress it by force or succumb to their demand of reservation. In both cases it will be injustice to majority of people of India.

If at all reservation should exist, it should be purely on economical basis and not on Caste basis. Few years back reservation was provided to Jain Community on minority basis. Jain community are considered to be one of the richest community in India, and yet reservation was provided to them.

We always say that Caste System is bad and we oppose it, but at the same time by providing reservation on caste basis, we are re-enforcing it. This is certainly our double standards.

When reservation on caste basis was introduced initially, our leaders had recommended that it should prevail for few years only, to take care of deprived and underprivileged section of society during that time, and remove disparity in society. But now situation in society is changed and is different. It is 68 years since Independence and caste based reservation is still existing and spreading like Cancer in our society.

I would hereby request Government of India to take up this matter on priority and remove this menace. We the people understand that it would not be feasible to remove this in one stroke, but it certainly could be removed over a period of 10 to 15 years. We need a definite commitment and action plan from Government for removal of this caste based reservation.
