Rules and regulations are intended to ensure order in the society. There are several rules that ensure that our society runs smoothly every day. However, there is one particular rule that I personally feel has become redundant. You see, ages ago, a rule was introduced to ensure reservations for backward sections to ensure that their community is represented effectively in both governance and employment. However, I feel that it has become redundant. It no longer has any relevance. We no longer live in the past, so we have to adopt to the current society. Ultimately, these reservations are now suppressing the majority as it is taking away their jobs and giving it to people just based on their birth. If the ultimate purpose is the eradication of social differences, we should not take measures to remind everyone what their social status is along every step. Even in school admissions, reservation is still a common thing. Reinforcing the notion that this child belongs to this caste, this social class, I find it appalling and insulting. We have come a long way. We have modernized our society, but still we are not willing to let this reservation go. We no longer need any reservations. Most of the inequalities in society has already been eradicated. While reservations can be helpful in some aspects, it should be evaluated and assessed carefully.
