Crabs in the barrel

 

Crabs in the Barrel



Latest supreme court judgement on reservation for Economically Weaker Section (EWS) is a welcome move.  One of the substantial question of law that came before the court was  ‘’Whether reservation can be given based on financial status as against caste system.’’   

 

Although it is was overall 3:2 majority judgement, it is very interesting to note that all the 5 judges unamiously agreed with the concept that reservation can be given based on financial status of a person which was hitherto was only based on Caste.  Also, all the judges have observed in chorus that the reservation policy should  be revisted.

 

Hence, going by this I am of the opinion that days are not too far where reservation policy will be solely based olely on economical & financial status of a person and not based on caste & creed.   

 

Presently a person belonging to  SC/ST/OBC after availing the benefits of reservation are re-availing the same thereby not  allowing rest of their own community to enjoy the benefits of reservation and come up in the society.

 

Reservation based on caste is like a crabs in the barrel. Every crab in the barrel when it tries to reach the top and escape, it will be  pulled down by its own buddy. Eventually none of the crab will get out of the barrel and remain imprisoned for their entire life. Likewise, politicians for their own political advantage prefer to keep the crabs in the barrel.

 

Hope that more such progressive judgements will  set free the trapped crabs.

Jai hind

  WHY DID DR. KALAM DIDN’T SEE SUDAMA IN NAMBI?                                                Hope by this time you would have watched the film ‘Rocketry’. This picture is based on the true story of Mr. Nambi Narayan, an Aero Space Engineer who was falsely implicated in an espionage case in the year 1994.   After a great ordeal by Mr Nambi, was exonerated by supreme court by an order dated 14.09.2018.   I understand from the film that Nambi was close to late Dr. Kalam while working with him at ISRO during 90s.    After that Dr Kalam was posted at DRDO and thereafter he became the president of India in the year 2002.   During the tenure of Dr Kalam as President of India (2002-2007), Mr Nambi was fighting his case in Supreme Court for acquittal and compensation.   Why did Dr Kalam knowing Nambi from close quarters did not cam...

  ITS NO MORE A ROCKET SCIENCE   Today (18.11.2022) marks a significant milestone in the Indian Aero Space Industry.   India’s first ever private rocket [Vikram-S] developed by M/s. Sky Root was launched successfully from Sri Harikota under the guidance of ISRO. Though the trajectory of ‘Vikram’ lasted for 5 minutes with a peak altitude of 89 KMs it goes a long way in re-defining the business of Aero space.   What is the message that this significant launch gives?   (a)     Importance of private participation :   This has proved that privatization is no more a rocket science.   Inclusion of such a strategic element into private sector clearly dozes off the fire in the belly of leftists/communists. It also re-affirms the Govt’s policy of ‘’Minimum Government & Maximum Governance’’.   (b)     Space Technology :   Presently career in space technol...
