The strongest argument in support
of the reservation policy of India and a
fitting reply to anti reservationists is made in the statement that, “ Reservation
is intended not to be an anti poverty programme,” and it is meant “ to correct
unequal distribution of rights,” by Amith Thorat in his article in the Hindu , “ “Not just
about quota”.(2.1.17). All those sections of the people ,who are at the receiving
end due to decades of denial justice in the social, economic and political rights
are pained to witness the sudden intensity with which the anti reservationists expect the marginalised sections to bear
the continued unequal position in opportunities
and rights .Expecting the deprived sections to continue to sacrifice the gains
of India’s progress achieved in the 21st
century in all the spheres of life, by the abolition of or the amendments in of
the reservation policy is inhuman . Such
an attitude depicts basic lack of understanding
regarding the fundamental needs of the backwards
communities to live with dignity in
India
