Let’s come to the real topic now.
I mean do we need a reservation for a place equal to men? What can women gain by reservation? Reservation may be helpful for women but what should be the criteria for reservation?
If yes, then why and who really need it? If not, then why we don’t want it?
I begin to realize more and more that whenever we talk about reservation for women, people start making ‘ho halla’ like anything, but we have to look at the reality! Believe me or not but it’s all about number games. The main motive behind the reservation is lead into some real and positive developments, which is yet to be seen. Yes; not everywhere, but there are places where women really need the reservation!
The poor children (talking about girls) who attend school learn less than their peers in private schools in urban India. They are not getting the basic facilities and living in dire social and economic conditions. In fact some of them are not able to go to the school. So, here we must provide reservation, or we should provide such basic facilities to supressed level so that they can at least able to get proper education!
However, the real scenario is different. For example; when a girl is living in a city, wearing branded clothes, studying in well reputed school and getting all facility, and in addition she is getting reservation. Now tell me, Why she needs reservation then? What is the use of reservation here? In practical terms it means those who are really in need of it, they are not getting any benifit from this. So, we have to define criteria then only it will work.
Some of my fellow friends says, women need reservation in panchayat, legislative assembly. It’s especially in governments, judiciary, bureaucracy sector, because these all places are male dominated and without reservation they will not be able to reach there! I think, we must not forget that even if they reach there after getting reservation, still in most cases they act as doll, they are like puppet in their husband’s hands. Kyunki, chahe to unke munh se awaaz nahi nikalti hai ya to fir husband ji or bhai ji unke taraf se bolte hain!
What do we ultimately want? I believe, we want some positive developments in our society. The idea of giving reservation for women in everything and everywhere is not the solution of the real problem; rather I would say it’s making us weaker!
What’s your opinion?
