The Pain of the General Category
In today’s India, the most neglected, ignored, and discriminated group is the one referred to as the General Category.
This is the group that is neither “Backward”, nor “Scheduled”, nor “Minority”, nor “Reserved” — yet it suffers the most.
These are students who strive, work hard, and crack the toughest exams on merit — only to be denied opportunities because they don’t belong to a politically favored caste or community.
🔍 Political Conspiracy & The True Intent of Reservation:
After independence, our Constitution makers introduced the reservation system to uplift socially backward communities, but only for 10 years.
The objective was:
- To provide education and job opportunities
- To bring the disadvantaged into the mainstream
- To boost their confidence and competence
- But that reservation system was never abolished.
Why?
Because Indian politicians began using it as a vote-bank weapon.
Instead of uplifting society, reservations became a tool to win elections.
As a result, the worst hit were the students of the General Category — hardworking, qualified, yet denied equal opportunity.
⚠️ Current Reality – One Student’s Story, Millions of Voices:
- A poor general category student with a family income less than ₹3 lakh pays over ₹30,000 in semester fees.
- A reserved category student with ₹6+ lakh family income pays only ₹6,000 and gets scholarships.
- General students pay mess fees, hostel rent, coaching, and books from their own pocket.
- A student with 99 percentile in CAT doesn’t get IIM admission, while another with 63 percentile from a reserved category gets into IIM Ahmedabad.
- A student with 8.1 GPA is rejected in placement, while one with 6.9 GPA is selected due to reservation.
- Even with a higher GATE score, the general student doesn’t get a scholarship, while the reserved category student with a lower score gets free money and internship.
❓The questions are:
- Does merit no longer matter?
- Do poor general students have no rights?
Has this country been sold out to vote-bank politics?
🧨 The New Danger – Religion-Based Reservations:
- Now, some opposition-ruled states like West Bengal and Karnataka have begun offering special reservations for Muslims.
- Is this constitutionally valid?
- Does this not violate India’s secular framework?
- Is this not a direct attack on the rights of others?
🔁 What Is the Solution? – The Need of the Hour:
- Reservations must be based on economic condition and merit, not caste or religion.
- Reservations, if any, must be limited to education only — not jobs or promotions.
- There must be uniform laws and policies applicable to every citizen, regardless of caste, religion, or community.
🛑 Another Harmful Outcome – National Competence Damaged:
- Unqualified individuals are now occupying critical roles in administration, law, education, and governance — solely because of reservation.
- This leads to inefficiency, poor decision-making, and national stagnation.
- For India to progress, we must move towards a merit-driven system, not a caste-driven one.
🔊 It’s Time for Parliament, Judiciary, and Bureaucracy to Act!
Silence is complicity.
For the nation’s future, for educational integrity, and for job fairness — Parliament must bring reform, Judiciary must intervene, and bureaucracy must act impartially.
The “Right to Equality” must not remain confined to books, it must become real.
🚩 If You Stand Against This Injustice – Spread the Message!
The pain of the general category must become the nation’s concern.
This is not a fight against any caste or religion, but a movement for justice and equality.
🇮🇳Jai Bharat, Vandematram 🇮🇳
