Dr.B.R.Ambedkar against permanent Reservation Policy
Right to equality , equal opportunity and equitable justice is a birth right , human right of every human being. Nobody , no minister , no constitutional body can violate it. When it is violated , it is a crime against humanity , the people who perpetrate those violations are CRIMINALS. Even when public servants perpetrate those human rights violations in the name of parliamentary acts like Reservation policy , the people who drafted such inhuman laws and people who passed and enacted such inhuman laws are all CRIMINALS.
Do remember Inhuman persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany was approved by majority in German parliament. Mere supporting numbers doesn't make an inhuman act justified or an illegal act as legal.
In his minority view on the Bench, Justice S. Ravindra Bhat reminded Baba Saheb Ambedkar’s observations that reservations should be seen as temporary and exceptional “or else they would eat up the rule of equality”.

Reservation or Oppression or Vengeance ?
A GO issued by the Madras Presidency in 1921 allocated 44% of reservations to non-Brahmins, 16% to Muslims, 16% to Anglo-Indian Christians, and 8% to Scheduled Castes. 100% fully reserved. No jobs , no college seats, no government support for Brahmins. Are not brahmins citizens of india ? Are not brahmins tax payers to the government ? There are many Brahmins who struggled and sacrificed for our freedom struggle like other communities.
Britishers sowed the seeds of division between religions , castes to keep all bharatiyas disunited. To ensure continued hostilities between people and thereby bharath doesn't progress.
You cannot give vision to one by snatching away vision of the other , you cannot uplift one by pushing down the other.
Objective of the democracy is to treat all equally. Nobody is superior nor inferior, all are EQUALS.
More than democracy, Constitution of india HUMANITY is superior. Everyone gets human rights of equality and equal opportunity by birth. Government sponsored reservation policy is inhuman and violates human rights of poor and numerically weak people. Now in practice downtrodden identified by government are GOVERNMENT BRAHMINS and get all benefits from tax payer's money from cradle to coffin. Whereas poor among forward castes identified by government are suffering as DALITS.
Just an example a couple both of them got college seats , government jobs on reservation. Their gross monthly income is more than one lakh rupees. They get priority house, site allotment from government on caste basis. Still they apply for reservation , monetary support from government for their son's college admission. They get it.
Whereas a poor forward caste person who earns Rs.300 daily wages is unable to provide for his son's education and his son also becomes a daily wage labourer.
Is this the objective our government of india ? Government is sowing , watering the plants of division ( sowed by britishers ) in the name of reservation policy.
Nobody should be discriminated on the basis of caste or religion. It has happened in history which is INHUMAN and must be corrected. Brahmins are also one of the culprits but not the only one. There were other major culprits, castes but nobody raises voice against those numerically strong people. Brahmins are mere 4 % of Indian population. More than 90% of village chieftains , kings were of dominant castes, numerically strong castes. Temple management committees were full of dominant caste members and headed by them. Acts of Untouchability were enforced by these rulers. Brahmins didn't had the position , authority , power to enforce those inhuman acts. True they were accomplices of the crime and ideally in the charge sheet they would be second or third accused. First accused were of dominant castes. Nobody dares to question them the first accused.
Now after 76 years of independence due to Reservation policy from peons to chief secretary posts are 90% occupied by SC , ST , OBC , Minorities , dominant castes and 90% of MPs , MLAs , Panchayath members belong to same castes. Complete decision making is done by them. Brahmins are fully sidelined. Ideally there should be a just , equitable society. However still atrocities happen , corruption is rampant. Why ?
A religious head of dominant caste is accused of atrocities against dalit girl in karnataka.
A dalit district collector was abused.
A high court judge of dominant caste threatens dalit subordinate judge in Andhra Pradesh.
Just take the recent case of a village in Tamilnadu where dominant castes refused entry of dalits into temple and excreta was mixed in drinking water tank and all dalit villagers were made to drink that excreta water for weeks.
Where are the voices of Mr.stalin and other brahmin haters ?
A crime cannot be corrected by another crime. Hate , Vengeance doesn't bring happiness. Equality cannot be achieved by british seeds of caste division like reservation policy. It can be achieved by change of mindset by mutual respect , love , empathy between people which brings peace , prosperity and happiness. We respect all religions and castes. There are rich as well as poor in all castes and religions. Poor in all castes and communities deserve government support but rich does not deserve it.

Are Brahmins today’s Dalits in India?
May 11 2007
French Journalist Francois Gautier, having spent nearly two decades in India, finds reservations for SC/ST and OBCs a prejudiced trend based on misconceptions.
At a time when nearly all political parties are vying with each other to please Dalits or other backward classes advocating reservations for them, ignoring the Brahmins, French Journalist Francois Gautier, having spent nearly two decades in India, finds it a prejudiced trend based on misconceptions.
In a write up “Are Brahmins the Dalits of today?” (May 26, 2006 ) posted on Rediffmail.com, Gautier has pointed out how much ill-found are the facts about the ‘prosperity’ of Hindus, especially, the Brahmins in today’s India.
He lashes out at the UPA Government for following an appeasement policy, which appears to be based on obsolete data about the actual state of Dalits in India.
“At a time when the Congress Government wants to raise the quota for Other Backward Classes to 49.5 per cent in private and public sectors, nobody talks about the plight of the upper castes,” says Gautier in his write up.
According to Gautier, today’s Brahmins can be easily found cleaning public toilets, a menial job that the government projects as if it is being done only by Dalits since ages.
“There are 50 Sulabh Shauchalayas (public toilets) in Delhi; all of them are cleaned and looked after by Brahmins (this very welcome public institution was started by a Brahmin).
There are five to six Brahmins manning each Shauchalaya. In most villages in UP and Bihar, Dalits have a union which helps them secure jobs in villages,” Gautier states.
Fifty per cent of rickshaw-pullers in Delhi’s Patel Nagar are Brahmins. Did you also know that most rickshaw pullers in Banaras are Brahmins?,” Gautier asks.
He questions: “Do our institutes connect with the real India?” while pointing out the reverse discrimination existing in bureaucracy and politics of the country.
Talking about Kashmiri Pandits, Gautier mentions they are living as refugees in their own country.
“400,000 Brahmins of the Kashmir Valley, the once respected Kashmiri Pandits, now live as refugees in their own country, sometimes in refugee camps in Jammu and Delhi, in appalling conditions. Their vote bank is negligible,” says Gautier.
In South India, the state of Brahmins as stated by various agencies speaks for itself.
Seventy five per cent of domestic help and cooks in Andhra Pradesh are Brahmins.
“A study of the Brahmin community in a district in Andhra Pradesh (Brahmins of India by J Radhakrishna, published by Chugh Publications) reveals that today all Purohits live below the poverty line,” quotes Gautier.
Gautier questions: “Who are the real Dalits of India?”
“In fact, according to this study there has been an overall decline in the number of Brahmin students. With the average income of Brahmins being less than that of non-Brahmins, a high percentage of Brahmin students drop out at the intermediate level,” Gautier quotes.
“The study also found that 55 per cent of all Brahmins lived below the poverty line -- below a per capita income of Rs 650 a month,” adding there is no reason to believe that the condition of Brahmins in other parts of the country is different.
Gautier quotes the per capita income of various communities as stated by the Karnataka finance minister in the State assembly: Christians Rs 1,562, Vokkaligas Rs 914, Muslims Rs 794, Scheduled castes Rs 680, Scheduled Tribes Rs 577 and Brahmins Rs 537.
But preferential policies for the non-Brahmins in government jobs and modern occupations such as law and medicine have forced Brahmins to retreat in these spheres as well.
Gautier suggests that caste shouldn't overwrite merit while quoting an Andhra Pradesh study, the largest percentage of Brahmins today are employed as domestic servants. The unemployment rate among them is as high as 75 per cent. There are hundreds of families that are surviving on just Rs 500 per month as priests in various temples (Department of Endowments statistics).
Gautier says : “There are innumerable instances in which Brahmin priests who spent a lifetime studying Vedas are being ridiculed and disrespected.”
“At Tamil Nadu's Ranganathaswamy Temple, a priest's monthly salary is Rs 300 (Census Department studies) and a daily allowance of one measure of rice. The government staff at the same temple receive Rs 2,500 plus per month,” Gautier states.
Gautier observes and lashes out at the Congress-led government observing “the tragedy of modern India is that the combined votes of Dalits/OBC and Muslims are enough for any government to be elected. The Congress quickly cashed in on it after Independence, but probably no other government than Sonia Gandhi's has gone so far in shamelessly dividing Indian society for garnering votes.”
Gautier also quotes from The Indian Express newspaper’s report: 'These measures will not achieve social justice'
“The Indian government gives Rs 1,000 crores (Rs 10 billion) for salaries of imams in mosques and Rs 200 crores (Rs 2 billion) as Haj subsidies. But no such help is available to Brahmins and upper castes.”
Writing about how reservations fracture Hindu society, Gautier observed that Anti-Brahminism originated in, and still prospers in anti-Hindu circles. It is particularly welcome among Marxists, missionaries, Muslims, separatists and Christian-backed Dalit movements of different hues. When they attack Brahmins, their target is unmistakably Hinduism.

Reservation policy cannot stay for indefinite period, says Supreme Court
Justice P.B. Pardiwala, who also formed the majority which upheld EWS quota, says real solution lies in eliminating causes that have led to the social, educational and economic backwardness of the weaker sections of the community
A bench of Supreme Court judges during a verdict on 10% quota in colleges and government jobs for the poor or EWS (Economically Weaker Sections), in New Delhi on November 7, 2022.
Three judges on the Constitution Bench, in views which formed both the majority and minority opinions, said the policy of reservation in education and employment cannot continue for an indefinite period.
Justice Bela M. Trivedi, who was part of the majority judgment, said reservation policy must have a time span. “At the end of 75 years of our Independence, we need to revisit the system of reservation in the larger interest of the society as a whole, as a step forward towards transformative constitutionalism,” Justice Trivedi said.
She pointed out that quota for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in the House of the People and in State Legislative Assemblies would cease 80 years from the commencement of the Constitution. The representation of Anglo-Indian communities in Parliament and Assemblies has already stopped by virtue of the 104th Constitutional Amendment from January 25, 2020.
“Therefore, a similar time limit, if prescribed, for the special provisions in respect of the reservations and representations provided in Article 15 and Article 16 of the Constitution, it could be a way forward leading to an egalitarian, casteless and classless society,” Justice Trivedi observed.
Though not expressly said, Justice Trivedi’s view on stopping quota under Articles 15 and 16 would also encompass EWS reservation.
Justice P.B. Pardiwala, who also formed the majority which upheld the EWS quota, said “reservation is not an end but a means — a means to secure social and economic justice. Reservation should not be allowed to become a vested interest. Real solution, however, lies in eliminating the causes that have led to the social, educational and economic backwardness of the weaker sections of the community”.
He said “longstanding development and the spread of education” had resulted in tapering the gap between the classes to a considerable extent. Large percentages of Backward Class members attain acceptable standards of education and employment. They should be removed from the Backward categories so that attention could be paid toward those genuinely in need of help.
“It is very much necessary to take into review the method of identification and the ways of determination of Backward Classes, and also, ascertain whether the criteria adopted or applied for the classification of Backward is relevant for today’s conditions,” Justice Pardiwala said.
In his minority view on the Bench, Justice S. Ravindra Bhat reminded Baba Saheb Ambedkar’s observations that reservations should be seen as temporary and exceptional “or else they would eat up the rule of equality”.
Hereby we appeal to Honourable Supreme Court of India :
1. To order government of india and state governments to conduct time bound transparent people census.
2. To annul all discriminatory reservation acts by government.
3. To order government to base it's affirmative policies on actual conditions of people irrespective of caste or religion.
4. To limit reservation benefits only once to a family. Father gets job on reservation quota again his should not get job on reservation instead a person of same reserved category who have not got reservation benefits earlier should get it.
5. To provide equal opportunity for every person irrespective of caste or religion in all spheres.
Your's sincerely
