Gravitas: Should India revisit the relevance of reservation?

Is it time for India to revisit the relevance of reservation? Is Quota holding India's healthcare service hostage? Is reservation killing merit and giving undue advantage to a selected few? Listen in to Palki Sharma.

Someone had to say this loud and clear, thanks WION for bringing this out.

[Life_is_Awesome_Civil]

That's why I stopped searching government jobs

[mayanksinha]

All entrance exam students feel this...absolutely agreed

[historytalks]

I scored 147.2 marks out of 200 in SSC CGL and din'd get selected because cutoff for unreserved category was 150 while for sc candidate it was only 126. Now i have so much hate for reservation and i started disliking reserved cartegory thanks to the indian constitution and politicians of the country.

[sagarkothari]

i lost my potential admission at an NIT. but my OBC friend with 24 marks less than me in JEE mains did get it, not to forget that he doesn't need to pay any fees irrespective of how much his family income exceeds mine. thank you India.

She could speak any language but she chose to speak FACTS!!!

All throughout my school life I never bothered to think to which caste my batchmates belong to. To me all of them were my friends, all of them were Indians.
Fast forward to me attempting entrance exams, not securing any government seat but my friends who scored way lower than me got in. It baffled me, it just didn't make any sense. The caste I never discriminated against suddenly got planted in my head as the 'students who got in with reservation, they killed my merit'. It has created unnecessary hate in my mind for them. And that is... India's reservation policy for you. Reservation divides you more. Period.

[swarnamoykundu]

I’m a student and I know every single students of India in general can feel it😥

[saurabhpatil]

Imagine this... An ex-classmate of mine, apparently ST certificate holder, was able to secure a seat in my college(VJTI) with 56% while the cutoff was 99.2%.
His sister entered IIM - A with 76% (percentile). Lol.
And their father is/was a chief editor at TOI. Dude was loaded.

Are they economically challenged? No
Were their parent making more than ours already? Yes.
Did they deserve the seat? No.

This whole quota system is so flawed, its just beyond words now.

[namansrivastava]

Finally someone is bold enough to speak on this topic...
Hats off to WION👍👍👍

[Politicalpishogue]

Instead of uplifting the poor, it is harming the merit and letting them out of India

[tommyshelby]

Greatest achievement in India is, LEAVING INDIA & SETTLING ABROAD.

[shivijain]

Hats off to this lady who finally spoke about reservation in postgraduate medical fields..

[avijain]

No politician is going to take a public stand against reservation because they know it would drop heir popularity

[jasnooraroranoor]

*Indian politics runs on reservation quota. This is a bitter truth and many eligible candidates do not get jobs because of it.😢😢*

[logicalindian_]

I have friends across all categories, I never use to judge people on the basis of their caste, but recently I have noticed, I always make sure to read surname of a doctor before visiting him. Thank you reservation to keep the caste based judgement still alive in our minds.

[navneet]

OMG. cant believe wion did a video on this topic. No news channel has the guts to do the same. I bow before you Palki Sharma ! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👌👌👌

[humangasourous]

Sadly, this topic will never come in politics...
I remember IIT students protested over quota system, clapity clap they were branded, forced to broadcast an unconditional apology.
God bless their souls....

[morningmotivation]

Finally a Indian media raised the real problem in this country.Thank you WION

Recently in Odisha, teachers have been appointed with 2 marks and students who scored 50+ were ignored
