Brother things doesn't work in India like how it works in US or EU. You have never seen it. I don't expect you all to understand
I just passed out of high school, I could be wrong but it's not that easy for a person like me like how you think it is. Being middle/ upper middle class in india comes with many issue, I can't write all that down and it's not like you would understand either
sucks to be a loser
Well if we talk about merit and as I'm a student. It affected me in JEE exam
My percentile was 89 but still I wasn't selected but an ST guy with 55%ile got selected. BUT HEYY!! I am the loser
I don't wanna argue here about it man. I can't change someone's opinion
That's what I used to think before. But now when I'm in the age where I have to compete, I see everyone getting what I deserve (seats in universities) just because I'm a i) general category (the ones without any affirmative actions), ii) male, iii) middle/upper middle class.
You know who bad does that feel? It's not a first world country where I can choose a mid profession and expect to go for vacations abroad.. NO!!. In these countries there is blood bath in competitions, in which I would say I was just good but unlucky too because of those three things
For equality to exist in India, the govt has to cut the freebies and make the education system better and teach civic sense to the country people.
In this country, I have to pay 30% tax and I don't get shit. That's the worst part, on top of that you'll be generalized as a bad guy everywhere because of the media. The govt isn't making laws gender neutral due to which the younger generation are scared to marry.
There are thousands of problems in this country. Giving out freebies and affirmative actions won't help at all
I know it's a mixed side. But I'm definitely not a fascist nor do I support fascism
So you understand that desperate people would do anything, so why not help them?
I don't know if you don't understand the situation but in india shit is complex. There have been interviews of people living in slums, they say they are making more children to get a little more money from the govt (from the scheme which was made for educational purposes of lower income households), some of them are regularly caught to be begging instead of doing some work (specially the ones who are fully fit and fine).
You know why it's like that? Because most of them got the bread and circus and they don't want anything more.
The govt doesn't even care about the poor and handicapped people tbh, because they get less seats from the affirmative actions. The so called oppressed groups "STs/SCs" get it.
Recently I gave an exam, the cutoff for general category is 94%ile but for ST it is 49%ile. Just look at the difference
That's why affirmative actions should be income based only for the ones who are in the BPL (below poverty line) list
What's caste blind social security system?
There should income based affirmative actions, for the ones who comes in BPL (below poverty line) list and for the specially abled people
If more than half a century of affirmative actions wasn't able to give jobs to certain communities, then it's a skill issue not a society issue
Casteism doesn't exists except in some villages, left extremists would say otherwise
See that's what
But people in this comment section already thought I would be a fascist
Check my other comment in this comment thread and tell me if I'm wrong
Stop hating and check my other comment
Yes that's what happens in here
The kind of social security system you're talking about would be the best for India. But that would take 3-4 decades to be fully functional considering the usual rise in communal riots
But neither of the parties (BJP or Congress) would do that because they just want to make the votebank happy who are mostly the uneducated ones in towns, slums and villages
The politics in this country is fkn cinema atp! They wouldn't spend a single penny for the ones who think rationally before voting someone
