We want Equality they say, and then Demand "Reservations !"
So many Hypcrites all Around !!
Social Media, now a days, is the primary way to convey one's views over various matters going around and i'm using it pretty well for that purpose.
This blog of mine has always been a great platform to do so , and hence I'm here again.

Like lakhs of other candidates , I'm also a govt job Seeker. From past few months I've been giving exams for the same but success is yet a long way perhaps.
Getting a govt job in India is not that easy , you know !! You have to pass a lot of "stages" to get it . And if you're a "General Category" student, you have to be "super good" at everything because "good" is just not enough when you're living in India with a tag of "General Category".
I'm not an exceptional student in studies, I'm just "Good". And if I would have been asked this a few months ago, I would have answered that I'm an "intelligent" student but I can't , now !
Why ? Because its only in these past few months that I had a direct encounter with "The great Indian Reservation System" where your "intelligency is measured according to your caste" !
In Govt exams, you dont just compete with other Candidates but you compete with their "Castes" as well. You dont have to just score better than others, but you have to "compensate" too for being from a General Caste and this compensation can cost you "years" of hardwork and patience !!
Frankly Speaking, it doesn't matter how long it takes, bcoz at the end when you make it, its WORTH it but what matters and what "bothers" me is that why with the same ability (infact, much more ability in many cases ) it takes years for one candidate to crack an exam while some other candidate is cracking it in the very first attempt ?
All this in name of equality ? Really ? And where is that ?

My first attempt for a govt exam was that of SBI CLERK 2016, and it went pretty well . My hopes were very high for the results but I couldn't make it. My score was 65.5 /100 and the cutoff for General was 67.5 !! Exactly.. It hurts when you fail with this margin . But then It was my first attempt. "Its Ok.. No worries...Better luck next time.. Oh wait !! What's that ? Cutoff for SC/ST is 47.5/100? Really ? A clear cut difference of 20 Marx ? WT* ?"
It means that a Candidate scoring 47.5 marx is more suitable for a post than a Candidate scoring 65.5 just because he/she belongs to a "Backward Caste" !! *slow claps*

After SBI Clerk 2016, it was now SBI PO 2016. Fortunately, this time, I passed the prelims. The cutoff for General was 47.5 and that for SC/ST around 38 (Not Surprising this time ) and I got 52.5. But Again, I failed to qualify the mains exam. I got 63.5 , Cutoff for General was 70 and that for Backward was 60.
I would have got a job till now if i would have been from a Backward Caste !! But I'm very grateful that I'm not because I rather prefer to get a job that I "Deserve" than to get a job just because I'm "Reserved".

I dont know and perhaps can't even imagine what attrocities Backward caste people had to went through decades and centuries ago but what I do know is Situations have Changed now and Change demands Change In Everything !!
I dont say that Casteism pervails only because Reservation is there but Reservation definately is the "root" cause why it is not being eradicated to the fullest . Reservation is being used by Politicians for their "Vote Bank" politics. They play their "Dalit Cards" to lure people into voting them.

I'm not a Casteist, I AM STRONGLY against CASTESIM, infact I'm Strongly against any kind of DISCRIMINATION prevailing in the society. But if Backward Caste people themselves are satisfied calling them "Dalits" just to avail Benefits of Reservation, then calling a Dalit, a Dalit, is just same as calling a teacher, a teacher and there's nothing Casteist in this and no one should be Offended with that !! But no ! Availing Reservations is their Right but they are EQUAL !!
Go on Hypocrites !! Well Done !
Ps: I'm still giving exams and waiting for my "lucky day" to come .
