A huge 12 Runs!!

June 2098: India v/s Australia (World Cup Live Commentary

“Ah, amazing shot , he hits the ball hard and the fielder catches the ball just short of the boundary line, and the umpire is consulting the 3rd Umpire, and the player stats :

Name: Abc Xyz

Country: India

Category: Reserved

Distance From Boundary: 5 Meters

Percentage Difference: 21 %

And its 12 runs.. India wins the world cup. "

December 2099, Australia asks the ICC committee to review the decision.

January 2100, the decision is favoured in Australia, and Australia wins the world cup.

This is not an imaginary story but a truth, which would be visible because of two reasons, globalization and the India role in it and the quota reservation in India. What we need to understand here is that we are compromising two things in this case of quota, the first thing is the nation's growth and the second thing is the prestige of the country which is inflating in the bubble of the term globalization, the country where the people are dying, dying not because of a natural calamity but because of hunger and corruption. Well now here there are two different aspects hunger and corruption. Now a question which would definitely come to your mind is that how hunger and corruption are connected to the quota system.

Let me give an example here , our prestigious institutions no mention of the same, has a stiff competition starting from undergraduate students fighting to the post graduate students, now they might increase the fees thinking that the so called quota would prevent the underprivileged from coming to their colleges. and indeed what happens is that, with the hunger to get into those colleges, there is an increase for the want of money to pay the fees, where in corruption increases, and the other part hunger, because the so called people and their children who are aspiring to get in here, fail, because its not that they are not worth it, but what they observe is that the same students under the quota system who are able to pay their fees get into it.

Now how does this effect the concept of India progressing and the term globalization, lets say an institute says that we have 37.5 % reserved for the reserved category now remaining 62.5%, what happen to them, 33.33 percent of them go out of the country so for the country India to progress remaining is 66.67 percent of the 62.5 %, that means that less than 50% of the class strength of the prestigious institution is helping the country to progress. Think!!!!

Am not against the quota system, but I am against the good being deprived because of the worse who are trying to minimize the possibility of the real deserving coming to the top. The other part here, is that why is this happening in the country India! I remember that when I was a child I used to study that x% of the Indian agriculture depends on rains and today after 2 decades I find that (x-2) % depends, does that mean that we are not doing anything. Its not about we are not doing, its about we are not trying, what would you say if you get the best without doing any hard work, you know you are not intelligent, you know that you have not worked hard, but then because of this privileged quota you get the best and then you somehow manage to pass, and then you are feel that even though you have failed, you have successfully failed !!! That’s what India's economy is going to be all about SUCCESSFULLY FAILED !!!
