Reservation with an unreserved aspect of it ..............



Reservation (Aarakshan) so how do we look at it in our mundane life of-course being one of beneficiary of this term I must look at it with great sense of validity contrary to many people outside there .Some even believe it’s not the corruption that should be rooted out of our country but it’s the reservation first I understand there angst. After giving all your life in studying all those books from primary to Ph.d. thinking mighty education will give us a happy and contended life but instead if you end up struggling for a job and to make up for living , then you might curse on something and perhaps the reservation because you think based on the parameters set by our country for getting a job you are more eligible than those who are getting job with the help of reservation. So what are these parameters the way I see it , these are nothing but a mechanism by which we measure the pseudo-intelligence of a human .But does this really measures it holistically I mean is it an only and eternal way. Ok you are good in exams you are taught to be so ever since you were born but what about those people who are born in far remote places who are yet to get accustom with these parameters which we believe is the ultimate scale of measuring human intelligence for a particular job. I have seen many people in this world who are great professionals without having some sort of degree (proof) in their respective field. I have seen many great painter without having any degree of fine arts  from some school ,based on the criteria for getting admission he/she might not be eligible for becoming a professional painter but he is a great painter and  in-fact much better than those who have some sort of  degree(proof) in fine arts because there you explore your own standards there you explore who really you are because you are not  painting with the fear to get pass and get a degree and there your wings are not chained with the of boundaries of standards and dimension.
So what is my point , my point is all the things we have studied are much helpful for understanding the world but I don’t think what we have studied should be a sole parameter for measuring how eligible you are for some job and how much the people who are having benefits of reservation are not.
Think of it this way first why are we so obsessed with saving tiger and polar bear WHY? Recently there were lots of campaign for saving tiger, many celebrities including Amitabh bachhan were giving hands to support this cause...because tiger is an endangered species, and rate of decline of tiger is high and the mere sign of tigerness or the wilderness may get lost in future. We are living in a world full of diversity and we want to balance it because we just can’t imagine a world with only people around and nothing else not even trees.
 So scaling down from world to India and before saving tiger and polar bear think of the people living in far remote places of India, forget education where roads are yet to get connected with rest of world where they hardly care about education because they are not aware of the standards that we have set outside their world. We talk about saving tiger coz it’s a sign of wilderness and uniqueness of this planet but what about the wilderness of human and there equality. If education was a real boon for this world then why is there so much loopholes in it, why an IAS who is eligible from every aspect of our standards and parameters still filled with corrupted mindset. An IAS whose sole purpose of working is serving the country is found looting the recourses of our country. Perhaps…Perhaps!! For governing the country with the pseudo-intelligence you might need a good heart as well and perhaps serving the country and people is not a matter of power but matter of humility. As I see it if you give an opportunity to one of these people from remote places with the help of reservation you are really opening a door for their understanding to the outside world and saving a human before a tiger and respecting their existence.
With the changing time there's huge increase in influx of domestic tourist in Ladakh and people are loving it because it was unexplored and is unique in many ways including the people (As many tourist themselves claimed), there were many instances with the Indian tourist this summer telling their unique experience with the people of Ladakh(one said hell of diff with Egyptian people).You go and you'll feel it trust me. And with that same feeling think of excluding the people of Ladakh, Nagaland, Mizoram, Himachal… and many tribal areas from getting any job at central level, think of working with the people of your own state and community and compare it working with the people from all over our country. I am sure there will be a difference of experience in two cases some may say we like working in same community but there is a huge difference of taste working in both the environment. I want this unity in diversity I want this wilderness and exotica and for that we need to give equal opportunity to every human in this country. Let them grow n someday they will sure let the country grow not only monetarily but humanly as well.
Reservation is for right to equality
Reservation is for a sign of still existence of humanity (For if you think it should exist)

And for the parameters on which we scale the human intelligence I feel is nothing but a program which we have mugged up so thoroughly that we are mistakenly thinking of it as a real source of intelligence but for the code we can rewrite in many different ways and the real essence of intelligence is in it. Not the already programmed code but just a blank C window where we can write any code of life.
Hope I conveyed my message !!!



Inspired after watching Planet Earth Series BBC (2009)

 Must watch !!!
Learned the essence of Wilderness........


P.S:
Small Analogy
Imagine all of sudden the parameters (likes of entrance exams) on basis of which we now give job/admission to a particular person changes and we start giving job on basis of physical strength. Now everybody is working hard to get strength some even going to Pro-Gym class instead of coaching institutes ... But can everyone achieve physical body likes of Arnold.. No matter how long you stretch it there'll be difference of physical strength depending upon the persons capability , heredity and hundreds of other biological factors ... but can we now ignore the weak ones ... Can we imagine a sense of equality in it (The very factor which differentiates the human from animal) I guess not ....
