Equality
Why are critics against the provision of reservations?
The reasons are given below:
(i)Critics contend that any provision of reservations or quotas for the deprived in admissions for higher education or jobs is unfair as it arbitrarily denies other sections of society their right to equal treatment.
(ii)They maintain that reservations are a form of reverse discrimination and they continue with the practices that the principle of equality questions and rejects.
(iii)Equality requires that all persons be treated alike, and when we make distinctions between individuals on the basis of their caste or colour, we are likely to reinforce caste and racial prejudices.
