How much is the caste based reservation system in India affecting the Indian Economy? Who will bell the cat?
Identity based reservation system for government and public sector jobs and admissions to technical and professional higher education for the past six decades has firmly pushed the agenda of entitlement to the forefront of public consciousness.Responsibilities, accountability and delivery of service or contract are rendered meaningless with this perverted ethos.
A person from a so called historically deprived caste gets admission to coveted professional colleges, pays no fees, gets generous scholarships, gets a coveted government job for life, does no work, indulges in acts of corruption (actually heinous extortion euphemistically called corruption in India), gets time bound promotion, lives a carefree life, lives in a government colony, pays little rent, enjoys subsidized municipal services, raises a family in a securely luxurious ambiance and then his next generation gets the same treatment all over again.
This is the secret of dysfunctional and chronically corrupt government ruling roughshod over a country with half the population living on one USD a day.
Political parties compete among themselves to add to the reservation quotas year after year. In this cacophony, entitlement to salaries and perks and opportunities for graft become the accepted paradigm of social discourse. Work gets defined as erecting barriers against the productive businesses of the economy to extorts as much juice as possible from the hapless private sector.
No doubt in an agrarian economy, caste based feudal systems did handicap some castes....but cities and towns have no caste system. There is no prejudice against anyone in India's cities....then why cover people raised in cities and towns with an agrarian society's caste based reservations.
