Why the sc/st and muslim candidates donot get job in private sector
The study has been published in epw mag,this is false,see the causes
1)the percentage of marks they get in ug or pg level is very low,in
case of universitry exam or entrance test.
2)they are the products of quota or minority institutions where they
get admitted with relaxable norms and lower criteria-both in
qualifying and entrance examination
3)they do the qualifications through quota in all the cases.an upper
caste candidate cannot get to study at pg or ug level for stiff
competition ,but where as a lower caste comfortably get the chance
upto phd. level due to quota .suppose a candidate of higher caste gets
first class,in many cases he or she does not get chance in pg
level,where a lower caste gets and completes with 40 to 50% marks.how
can you say he is more intelligent than the upper caste.so the
qualification is not the only factor but the quality of the qualified
candidates and the mode of selection process through which he was
selected is also the factor.at the end of the day they are doing
qualifications with less marks and through quota?how they can be
chosen readily in this competition?
4)no of contenders for jobs in lower castes is very much smaller.even
the govt finds it difficult to fill up its mandatory quota because
even with lower criteria no of eligibles from sc/st/muslim community
is not found.now see they are already getting 66% and 33%
respectively-so whole picture is not gloomy.
5) IT IS ALSO A FAKE CLAIM THAT PRIVATE SETORS' SELECTION PROCESS IS
NOT OPEN OR FAIR.MANY GOVT DEPTS HAVE NO FAIRNESS WHETHER RECRUITING
'SECRTARIES OR PA's.IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE PRIVATE SECTORS DONOT HIRE
RIGHT PERSON IN THE RIGHT PLACE AS ALL OF US KNOW VERY WELL THAT
PRIVATE SECTORS ARE MAINLY PROFITMAKING CORPORATES AND ORGANISED BY
INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS WHICH HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING ON THEIR OWN MONEY
OR HAVE TO BORROW IT FROM FINANCIAL INSTITUTION WITH HIGH RATE OF
INTEREST,THERE IS NO SUBSIDY TO COMPENSATE THEIR LOSS ETC ETC.SO THEY
ARE MORE CAUTIOUS ABOUT RECRIUTMENT.IF A DALIT OR MUSLIM GETS 90% AND
AN UPPER CASTE GETS 5O% THE FORMER WILL BE CHOSEN READILY..
Let dalits and muslims come through open competition,then should
tell all these things.when their selection process in higher education
is not fair and they are using constitutional backdoors,then how can
they argue that they are geeting discriminated.upper caste graduates
are essentially more qualified and intelligent than their phds.as they
do everything in most of the cases through quota.as long as the
qualification is dependent on quota or affirmative action the whole
things will be a big zero.govt should stress on equal merit factor not
quota or affirmative actions.
THIS LETTER HAS BEEN SENT TO ONE OF THE EDITORS
TRYING TO THINK BEYOND THE CASTE
SIR,
THE ARTICLES RELATED TO CASTE BASED DEPRIVATION IN YOUR
PUBLICATION ARE SOME EXTENT FAR FROM THE REALITY.THE PEOPLE WHO SHOUTS
ABOUT THE CASTE BASED OPPRESSIONS ARE NOT AWARE OF THE FACT THE SO
CALLED BACKWARD CLASSES INCLUDING DALITS WHO GET RESERVATION IN GOVT
OR PUBLIC SECTOR ARE NOT HIRED BY THE PRIVATE INDUSTRY NOT FOR THEIR
CASTES(MAY BE THERE ARE SOME EXCEPTIONS),BUT FOR THEIR INABILITY AND
LACK OF SKILL.NO INDUSTRY WILL ALLOW A FORWARD CASTE PEOPLE WITH LOW
MARKS AND LOWER QUALIFICATIONS.SO THE ARTICLE WHICH YOU PUBLISHED IS
TOTALLY BOGUS AND OLD WINE IN A NEW BOTTLE.MODERN HIGHER EDUCATION
SYSTEM AND MODERN JOB FIELDS ARE NOT CASTE ORIENTED,HERE ONLY QUALITY
AND SKILL MATTER.THERE MAY BE VARNASHRAMA IN SOCIETY ,BUT THAT DOES
NOT GIVE MORALITY TO ORGANISE SO CALLED AFFIRMATIVE ACTIONS AS WE ARE
NOT LIVING IN THE AGE OF VARNASHRAMA BASED EDUCATION SYSTEM.A PERSON
WHO HAS WOUND ON THE FOOT ,DOCTORS SHOULD DO THE DRESSING THERE,NOT ON
THE HEAD.THE PROBLEM OF SO CALLED BACKWARD CLASSES INCLUDING DALITS
AND MUSLIMS IS NOT THAT THEY GET DEPRIVATION IN THE HIGHER EDUCATION
AND JOB.LACK OF GOOD PRIMARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION,LACK OF BASIC
HEALTH CARE ARE THE MAIN FACTORS.THOSE WHO HAVE GOOD PRIMARY AND
SECONDARY EDUCATION CAN EASILY COMPETE IN ENTRANCE TESTS.THOSE WHO
HAVE GOOD BASE IN HIGHER EDUCATIONS ,DONOT NEED TO RUN FOR RESERVATION
IN JOBS AS BEGGARS.THE DALITS AND THE SO CALLED OPPRESSEDS GAIN THE
QUALIFICATION IN CASE OF HIGHER EDUCATION THROUGH RELAXABLE NORMS AND
THAT IS THE MAIN CONCERN.THE UPPER CASTES WHO GET GOOD JOBS IN PRIVATE
SECTORS ARE WITH MORE HIGH MARKS THAN THEIR SO CALLED OPPRESSED
COUNTERPARTS IN MOST OF THE CASES,SO HERE NOT ONLY THE QUALIFICATIONS
BUT ALSO THE QUALITY ,SKILL AND MERIT OF THE QUALIFIED PERSONALS ARE
ALSO IMPORTANT.IF A DALIT OR BACKWARD GETS 90% AND AN UPPER CASTE GETS
5O% THE FORMER WILL BE CHOSEN READILY.BUT IN INDIA IN MOST OF THE
CASES THE SO CALLED OPPRESSOR UPPER CASTE CANDIDATES ARE WITH MORE
HIGH MARKS,BECAUSE THEY ARE THE PRODUCT OF OPEN COMPETITION NOT THE
PRODUCT OF QUOTA AND RELAXABLE NORMS OR SO CALLED AFFIRMATIVE
ACTIONS.UNFORTUNATELY YOUR PUBLICATION ARE AVOIDING THESE FACTORS.MANY
OF YOUR WRITERS OPPOSE RESERVATION ON THE BASIS OF ECONOMIC
CRITERIA?WHY THIS ALERGY IN YOUR WRITERS?PLEASE COME CLEAN.CLASS DOES
NOT DEPEND ON CASTE ONLY,IT IS ALSO ABOUT RICH-POOR CLASSIFICATION.THE
INDIVIDUALISM IS ALSO A KEY ISSUE OF MODERN SOCIETY AND IT HAS BEEN
SECURED BY THE CONSTITUTION ALSO.MANY OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHO SUFFERS
FROM POVERTY AND CANNOT ACCESS HIGHER EDUCATION AND WHO DONOT BELONG
TO SC/ST/OBC,ALSO FORM A CLASS WHICH IS ALSO SUPPRESSED.I HAD A TALK
WITH ONE OF MY YADAV FRIENDS WHO TOLD THAT RESERVATION SHOULD BE ON
THE BASIS OFF ECONOMICAL CRITERIA.IF I TAKE THE VIEW THAT PARTICPATION
OF BACKWARD CASTEs IS NEEDED,THEN AT THE SAME TIME I CANNOT FORGET
THAT PARTICIPATIONS OF POORS IRRESPECTIVE OF CASTE ,CREED AND RELIGION
IS ALSO NECESSARY.IF I DENY THEN SURELY I AM A HYPOCRETE WHO ALWAYS
WEAR SPECTACLES OF CASTE BASED DEPRIVATION.IN CASE OF RESERVATION,I
WOULD LIKE TO SAY GENERAL CATEGORY DOES NOT REFLECT OR SUGGEST ANY
PARTICULAR CASTE,CREED,COMMUNITY OR RELIGION.IT ALWAYS SUGGESTS THAT A
CANDIDATE OR A STUDENT SHOULD BE SEEN AS A STUDENT OR CANDIDATE.HERE
THERE IS NO STORY OF DEPRIVATION WHICH YOU ARE TRYING TO BUILD IN A
WRONG WAY.SO ALL PERSONS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS GENERAL
CATEGORY.BERMUDA CANNOT CLAIM RELAXATION AGAINST AUSTRALIA IN
ANYWAY.SO SO CALLED STORY OF DEPRIVATION AND THE THEORY OF SO CALLED
DEPRIVATION DONOT GIVE THE MORALITY TO CLAIM RESERVATION.THE PERSON
WHO GETS HIGHER EDUCATION THROUGH RESERVATION HAS NO RIGHT TO RUN FOR
AFFIRMATIVE ACTIONS IN JOBS ,IF HE OR SHE RUNS FOR IT THEN THERE MAY
BE THREE CAUSES-
1)HE IS WORTHLESS BECAUSE WHAT WAS GIVEN TO HIM,HE COULD NOT USE IT
PROPERLY AND HE DID NOT GET THE ABILITY TO BE IN THE RESPECTIVE COURSE
2)THE TEACHING PATTERN OR STANDARD OF HIGHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
DOES NOT SUIT HIM(THOUGH IT IS A LAME EXCUSE AS WITH THE SAME
EDUCATION SYSTEM THE UPPER CASTES OR OPEN CANDIDATES ARE DOING SO
WELL)
3)A RESERVED CATEGORY CANDIDATE KNOWS THAT HE WILL BE GIVEN JOBS IN
RELAXABLE NORMS AND CRITERIA AND THERE ARE SEVERAL CHAMPIONS OF SOCIAL
JUSTICE WHO WILL MAKE ROOM FOR THEM ANYWAY.SO WHAT IS THE NEED TO
STUDY WELL?
IT IS ALSO A FAKE CLAIM THAT PRIVATE SETORS' SELECTION PROCESS
IS NOT OPEN OR FAIR.MANY GOVT DEPTS HAVE NO FAIRNESS WHETHER
RECRUITING 'SECRTARIES OR PA's.IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE PRIVATE SECTORS
DONOT HIRE RIGHT PERSON IN THE RIGHT PLACE AS ALL OF US KNOW VERY WELL
THAT PRIVATE SECTORS ARE MAINLY PROFITMAKING CORPORATES AND ORGANISED
BY INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS WHICH HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING ON THEIR OWN
MONEY OR HAVE TO BORROW IT FROM FINANCIAL INSTITUTION WITH HIGH RATE
OF INTEREST,THERE IS NO SUBSIDY TO COMPENSATE THEIR LOSS ETC ETC.SO
THEY ARE MORE CAUTIOUS ABOUT RECRIUTMENT AND THAT IS THEIR RIGHT.THEY
ARE CONTRIBUTING ENOUGH TO THE INDIAN ECONOMY BY PAYING HUGE TAXES AND
SPONSORING DIFFERENT FIELD,EVEN SOME OF THEM OFFER SCHOLERSHIPS AND
CONTRIBUTE ENOUGH IN THE FIELD OF RESEARCH,SO IN THIS CASE GOVT HAS NO
RIGHT TO INERVEN .
IT SHOULD BE ALSO TOLD THAT AN UPPER CASTE CANDIDATE HAS NOT
COMMITTED ANY SIN TO BE BORN AS UPPER CASTE AND HE OR SHE HAS NOT
COMMITTED CRIME BY SECURING MORE MARKS IN ENTRANCE TESTS OR GETTING
HIGHER POSITIONS BY OWN ABILITY DEFEATING A SO CALLED BACKWARD
CANDIDATE.PRO –QUOTA ACTIVISTS HAS AN SIMPLIFIED IDEA THAT ALL UPPER
CASTE PERSONS ARE SOLVENT.AND THIS IS THEIR SIN.ACCORDING TO THE
PRO-QUOTA ACTIVISTS UPPER CASTE HOLDS THE LARGER SHARE IN CASE OF
HIGHER EDUCATION AND JOBS,THEN THEY SHOULD ALSO ADMIT THAT THE FORWARD
CASTE PEOPLE ALSO PAY THE MAXIMUM TAX FOR THE WELFARE OF THE
COUNTRY.BUT SURPRSINGLY THEY ARE ENGAGED IN ACCUSING THE CASTE SYSTEM
TO WHICH UPPER CASTES ARE THE INTEGRAL PART BUT NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE
CONTRIBUTION OF THE UPPER CASTES.WE SHOULD NOT FORGET MOST OF THE GOOD
THINGS OF INTERNATIONAL STADARD IN CASE OF
EDUCATION,SCIENCE,LITERATURE,CULTURE,INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT HAVE BEEN
DONE BY THE SO CALLED OPPRESSOR UPPER CASTES,NOT BY THEIR CASTE
IDENTITY BUT BY THEIR ABILITY,MERIT AND COMPETITIVENESS.HOW MANY GOOD
PERSONS WE HAVE GOT TILL NOW THROUGH RESERVATION?REMEMBER DR
AMBEDKAR,JOTIBA FULE,OUR HONOURABLE CHIEF JUSTICE SIR,LALUJI,MUSLIM
USTADS AND SINGERS ARE NOT THE PRODUCT OF RESERVATIONS.SO WE HAVE TO
ADMIT THAT THERE MAY BE SEVERAL PROS AND CONS,BUT IF THERE IS QUALITY
,THAT WILL BE ADMIRED AND WE SHOULD FOLLOW THAT PATH RATHER ROAMING IN
THE BHULBULAIYA OF SO CALLED PATH OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTIONS.WE RIGHTLY
NEED ABILITY BUILDING PROGRAMME AND SHOULD ENSURE THAT THE
COMPETITIVENESS IS BEING WELCOMED RATHER WELCOMING LOW GRADED PERSONS
ON THE BASIS OF THE FACT THAT THEY ARE/WERE OPPRESSED.WE NEED TO HELP
THEM TO STAND ,NEED NOT MAKE THEM THE BEGGARS OF QUOTAS.
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD MANY OF THE PRO-QUOTA IDEOLOGUE
BLAMED THE MEDIA ACCUSING THAT THEY ARE PREACHING UPPER CASTE IDEAS AS
MEDIA IS DOMINATED BY THE SO CALLED UPPER CASTES.IT IS ALSO A FALSE
CLAIM ,IF MEDIA STANDS FOR QUALITY AND MERIT.MANY OF THE PRO-QUOTA
ARGUMENTS QUESTIONED THE IDEA OF MERIT,THIS IS ALSO LIKE A FLOP JOKE.A
CRICKETR OR A PLAYER IS JUDGED BY THE STATISTICS OR RECORDS.IF MARKS
OF QUALIFYING EXAMS AND THE MARKS OF ENTRANCE TEST EXAMS ARE USED TO
JUDGE A CANDIDATE,THEN WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT?QUALITY IS QUALITY
,WHATEVER BE THE CASTE,CREED,RELIGION OR CLASS.AN AMERICAN MISSILE IS
MORE POWERFUL THAN AN INDIAN MISSILE AND INDIA CANNOT CLAIM THAT AS A
THIRD WORLD NATION AND AS AN OPPRESSED NATION HER MISSILE SHOULD BE
ANNOUNCED AS MORE OR EQUALLY QUALIFIED THAN THE AMERICAN
ONE.COMPETITION IS COMPETITION,RIGHT TO COMPETE IS AN UNIVERSAL RIGHT
AND GETTING CLEARED ACCORDING TO ENTRANCE TEST MARKS IS ALSO AN
UNIVERSAL RIGHT BUT CLAIMING PROPORTIONATE WINNING CANNOT BE SUPPORTED
ANYWAY.HIGHER EDUCATION SEATS AND JOBS ARE NOT LIKE CAKE,BISCUIT,WHEAT
,RICE AND CLOTHS OF DARIDRANARAYANA SEVA WHICH SHOULD BE DISTRIBUTED
EQUALLY ACCORDING TO THE PROPORTIONATE POPULATION AND IN A SAME
COMPETITION OR IN A SAME GAME IT IS UNETHICAL TO MAKE DIFFERENT RULES
FOR DIFFERENT TEAMS,DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES AND DIFFERENT
INDIVIDUALS.INDIAN FOOTBALL TEAM CANNOT QUALIFY IN FIFA WORLD CUP,BUT
THE FIFA CANNOT GIVE ANYTYPE OF RELAXATION,BUT THEY CAN OFFERE MONEY
AND ASSISTANCE TO PROVIDE GOOD COACHING FACILITY ,GOOD SPONSORS ,GOOD
INFRASTRUCTURE,AND THAT IS VERY MUCH NECESSARY.THE GOVERNMENT AND SO
CALLED PRO QUOTA ACTIVISTS SHOULD CONSTRUCT GOOD TRAINING SCHOOL
ALONG WITH GOOD HIGHER SECONDARY SCHOOLS WITH ADEQUATE
TEACHERS,INFRASTRUCTURE,STUDY AND WRITING MATERIALS,GOOD HOSTEL
FACILITIES-IF THEY CAN DO THIS AND EXTEND IT TO THE RURAL AREAS ALSO
,IT WILL DO THE MAGIC IN A VERY SCIENTIFIC MANNER.WE NEED RIGHT PERSON
IN THE RIGHT PLACE WITH PROPER EDUCATIONAL ABILITY AND
SKILL,UNFORTUNATELY IN THIS COUNTRY EVEN TEACHERS ARE SELECTED ON THE
BASIS OF CASTES AND RELIGION.MARGINALISED PEOPLE SHOULD BE BROUGHT IN
THE WAY OF DEVELOPMENT IS AN ACCEPTED FACT,THE MARGINALISED PEOPLE WHO
ARE SUFFERING FROM POVERTY ALSO NEEDS AFFIRMATIVE ACTION(WHICH HAS NOT
YET BEEN ADDRESSED EVEN BY THE LEARNED SOCIOLOGISTS WHO WEAR THE MUSK
OF SOCIAL JUSTICE)-BUT THERE IS A MORE IMPORTANT QUESTION THROUGH
WHICH WAY-THROUGH RESERVATION WITH RELAXABLE NORMS,WHICH BURDENS THE
SYSTEMS WITH SECOND GRADED PEOPLE (IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER YOU
ADMIT OR DENY)OR THROUGH GIVING BASIC ACCESS TO THE BASIC NEEDS AND
UPGRADING THEIR COMPETITIVE SKILLS AND MAKING THEM ELIGIBLE TO
PARTICIPATE IN ALL THE SPHERES MORE FAIRLY?
YOURS ETC…
