IIT and IIM suicides and caste reservation in India

Tweet

A few days ago a boy from IIT Mumbai committed suicide. He belonged to the schedule caste(SC), called in India and had availed the reserved category. Going through the news what I gather is the boy suffered discrimination just because he belonged to scheduled class, a lower caste. In India we still have the caste system, the evil effect of which has entered the top class educational institutions in India. Don't we think it's this reservation policy in India that's at the root of all evils and deaths too. Would it be better if the government could support these youngsters from the marginalized society economically than providing them seats in such institutions even if they score less marks. Even in government job sectors a SC or ST( schedule tribe) should just score 35 out of 100 to qualify for a bank officers exam or a administrative job in the government. Such government officials get a promotion even if they don't perform well, just because they are a SC or ST candidate. To qualify for any exam one has to good health both mental and physical and a good IQ. Even the government pays attention to such issues like health, education, proper grooming and to the marginalized category or of the lower caste who are leading a deprived and remove reservation, I think within a few generation people will forget caste system discrimination at least in educational institutions and in job sectors. Support any deprived child or youngsters with his health issues and education is more important. Why doesn't the government schools in India frame the educational curriculum in such a way that students can crack the IIT, JEE CAT or any other competitive exams without coaching. No poor boy can afford coaching. Even such institutions have heavy tuition fees which the poor students can't afford. It's here that the government should come forward to support. Discrimination will be wiped out when each student of India or each child of India get equal treatment where education, and job is concerned even if they are from the marginalized category. Reservation is no solution.
