Why Arguments Against Reservation are Flawed.
News Click.
Abstract
Reservations are one of the most debated topics in India but in many of these discussions the question of social justice is completely sidelined. Social justice needs to be understood in terms of representation and integration of the members of Scheduled Castes and Tribes and backward classes in the social mainstream. One out of four Indians continues to practice untouchability a study conducted by the NCAER and the University of Maryland in 2014 found. Almost every third Hindu (30%) admitted to the practice, followed by Sikhs (23%), Muslims (18%) and Christians (5%). Thus, questioning the reservation system instead of the flaws in social justice delivery is the biggest irony of the reservation debate.
