Supreme Court endorsed 10% reservation to EWS of general categories of people . This is a landmark judgement . Although constitution of India lays the foundation of equality , non discrimination , equal opportunity to seek employment , abolishment of non touch ability it also seeks positive discrimination in favour of SC , ST , women and children , socially and educationally backward classes . A large chunk of forward castes are mired in poverty . So , confirmation of reservation to EWS would herald social justice among people of general categories .
Our constitution talks about equitable distribution of wealth and reduction of concentration of wealth . But all governments failed to achieve this goal . Top1% people have 22% of national resources . Top 10% of people have 57% of the national resources . While below 20% people have no durable assets . Ours is the biggest unequal society . Hence , it is pertinent to give reservation to weaker sections of society .
aaM But reservation is not the penecea for all the ills that India is under going . It may be temporary solution . The most important thing is to bring equality and social justice in our society . This doesn’t mean dismantling of big business houses or corporates , it simply means fulfilling bare necessities of all and sundry so that everyone prosper according to his labor and hard work . Until this goal is achieved , reservation is must .
