Because of the corona virus issue? If it does not happen then worst affected will be people whose interview is stuck, around 600-700 such people I think are yet to appear for their interview.
@neyawn sir and others, what is your take?
This is the official Thread for discussion of Prelims Postponement, Please do not create new threads for the same.
What is reservation based on ?
Is it affirmative action to uplift the poor ? : No , its then schemes and other assistance would be enough.
Then why is reservation implemented ? Aren't lower caste people poor?
Answer: To understand reservation , we should understand caste system . Caste system is a socio - economic political system . This multi dimensional system has lead to multi dimensional deprivation in social , economic and political status of the people who are considered to be in lower hierarchy of the system. This has led to these communities to be ostracized socially , economically and politically.
The repercussions of this system has both psychological results such as caste discrimination ...etc , and physical results such as certain caste members live in bad parts of villages , most Indian village's residential setup is segregated on caste basis.
So thats y reservation was devised , to give bump to the people who were deprived of the social , economical and political aspects.
People generally compare economic status to social status or even political status to social status.
I have know an ias officer who was discriminated by his subordinates when he was posted as sdm due to he belonging to SC.
here if you see even though he has reached a good position his social status according to to the society is lower.
Ews : Everyone vulnerable should be given a hand . but the thing is there are different levels of vulnerability and there are different causes of this vulnerability . Reservation according to indian constitution is for people who are socially , economically , educationally and politically disadvantaged due to the practice of caste system that lasted 1500-2000 years.
All poor people should be given a helping hand so ews should be given other government aids so that they are uplifted.
All that being said Reservation is not the best system , but the root cause is the attitudeal sickness of caste system that is in our society . Since our society is not ideal , to have justice we have a not so ideal system called reservation which is the best we can do as of now .
peace ✌️😎
is it fare to put son of a ST/SC IAS officer and son of a st/sc mgnrega worker to same level of competition ?? Only selected groups are getting the benefit with in the community itself...
Now if u r open to think beyond those books which are expired is it fare to say that son of st/sc IAS officer or son of a st/sc family with 3 generation of group A officer is socially more discriminated than that of a son of a poor upper cast who is ether a small land holder or a mgnrega worker... Will puffed rice (muri) breakfast , govt school teaching of a son of poor upper cast stand a chance against oatmeal + apple breakfast + Saint merry teaching of son of a rich/ IAS lower cast.....
Its time to think why so many "meena " are on the selected list while u hardly find any "majhi" , :sabar"
@rnksinghal71890 Jab post-recruitment verification hoga EWS ka...my guess is that 50% will fail. Let me know if you want a EWS certificate, I'll get it for you too :P ;) Reservations were never meant to level economic inequalities - 2019 election desperation mei kiya gaya hai yeh EWS tamasha. SC ko strike down karna chaahiye jaldi se jaldi. They have time to hear Rhea Chakraborty and take Suo-Motu contempt charges...but not these constitutional matters. God help us!
bahut se logon ne fake banaye hong hi ews certf. i dont think so itna minute level pe checking hoga ews ka selection ke baad
@rnksinghal71890 reservation for women? In upsc? Are you sure?!
Women, irrespective of how wealthy they may be, are socially backward and underrepresented. Changing that is the central purpose of reservation.
Reservation itself has bred discrimination against reserved people in service. Imagine someone with a 400 rank getting IAS whereas someone with rank in 90s getting IRS/IPS. You really think they'd not be bothered by it? Especially when so many of these reserved category people are not really marginalised/poor but from well to-do families? And if it doesn't stop here, see them getting promoted also over and above them?
as directed by chanakya, i wrote test-33 of gsscore. 63 attempted. 57 correct .. final score 110/200.
final comments:- could have done better by answering 3 or 4 more bits.
i should work on some advanced macro economics sort ( if at all they be asked), and some current affairs part in depth..

Yes. So we must do away with reservation and continue monopolisation by forward castes as was the case before. "Reserved category people", it seems.
bahut se logon ne fake banaye hong hi ews certf. i dont think so itna minute level pe checking hoga ews ka selection ke baad
Well ye toh nahi pata but post recruitment the cross checking process is a confidential one. It is done via the DM with the help of police machinery. A certain amount of risk is involved. Why take risk. Itni mehnat se aaoge and raddh kar denge selection...kya faayda?
They are well aware of the fact about faking for original certificates.
@rafael I believe the most shameless guy on planet are those SC/ST/OBC people whose parents are top bureaucrats nd rich influential people of the society yet seek reservation..It's gross injustice to the deserving ones among those communities...tina-mina-diga of such people should not be given any respect at all..Bhai aap apne hi community ke logo ke sath nainsafi kaise kr skte ho??
If you think Caste goes away because you hold an influential position, you should also know that our President was denied entry at a temple only recently. I don't understand why people think untouchability goes away with wealth.
