Subject: LET THIS CULMINATE INTO " Quota Only Based On Economic Conditions "

Theatre  of  the  Absurd   ?

-------------------------------

I was not serious when , on 03 Dec., I wrote following and sent it as email to Cabinet Ministers / NITI Aayog :

[  Divide Quota ? To rule Raj ?  ]

 

I wrote :

 

Let us introduce a NEW category with another 100 % quotas for “ FORWARD COMMUNITIES “ , under which to allot :

·         15 %  to  “  Socially Forward “ communities of   Parsis and Punjabis

·         15 %  to  “  Economically Forward “ communities of Marwaris and Gujaratis

·         15 %  to  “  Educationally Forward  “ communities of Marathis and Keralites

·         15 %  to  “  Culturally Forward “ communities of Bengalis and Biharis

·         15 %  to  “  Religiously  Forward “ communities of  Ayodhyawasis and Babri-Niwasis

·         25 %  to  “  Politically  Forward “  communities of  Kashmiris and Naxalites

 

Being the world-class experts at “ SOCIALLY DIVISIVE NOMENCLATURES “ , we have invented terminologies such as :

#    UMG  [ Upper  Middle  Class ]

#    LMG   [ Lower  Middle  Class ]

#    HNI  [  High Net Worth Individuals , aka “ Stinking Rich “  ]

#    BPL  [  Below Poverty Line  ]

#    EWS  [  Economically Weaker Sections  ]

#    MIG  [  Middle Income Group  ]

#    LIG   [  Low Income Group  ]

#    Creamy  Layer  …………. Etc

Given the political ingenuity of our Netas , I am certain that they will figure out dozens of methods to circumvent the Supreme Court dictate and succeed in ( may be ) granting 20 – 25 % reservation quota to any minority / majority group , bold enough to ask for it !

=====================================

Then , this morning read the following :

BJP launches pre-poll surgical strike: Cabinet clears 10% quota for “ poor “ upper caste  

Who will qualify / be eligible ?

·      Have household income of less than Rs 8 lakh / year [ 95 % of Indians ]

·      Have agricultural land of less than 5 acres [ 86 % of land holding ]

·      Have a house smaller than 1000 sq ft  [  80 % are smaller than 500 sq ft  ]

·      Have a residential plot smaller than 100 yards in a municipality [ No data  ]

·      Have a resi plot of less than 200 yards in non-notified municipality [ No data ]

Now , before those belonging to “ Upper Caste “ – and still poor – start jumping with joy, I suggest they conduct some “ Data Digging “ to compile real data , similar to the following hypothetical example :

#    According to the above mentioned news report ,

·      only 27 – 37 % of India’s population is currently “ not entitled “ to any quota ( say 390 million out of 1300 million @ 30 % )

·      Of this 390 million , as per above criteria, 90 % are “ Upper Caste Poor “ ( say 350 million ) , who will get to claim 10 % of the jobs in government and 10% of seats in colleges

#   Let us assume that , right now , all governments ( Central + States ) put together ,

     have , 

·      10 lakh jobs ( announced / advertised and waiting to be filled )

·      10 lakh seats in Colleges waiting to be allotted

#   Therefore for “ Upper Caste Poor “ ,

·      “ Jobs available “  =   10 % of 10 lakh  =   1 lakh

·      “ Seats available “ =  10 % of 10 lakh   =  1 lakh

Some 350 million persons will be competing for these !

Let us assume following break-up of these 350 million “ Upper Caste Poor “ :

#   Looking for a college seat  >   50 million   (  500 lakh ) –    for 1 lakh seats

     “ Quota Quantum of 1 / 500 “

#   Looking for a job               >  100 million  (  1,000 lakh ) –  for 1 lakh jobs

     “ Quota Quantum of 1 / 1000 “

#   Children + Old                  >  200 million  (  2,000 lakh  )

#   We also know that ,

·      With rapid strides being made in “ e-Governance “ more and more government jobs are getting replaced by DIGITAL PROCESSES . This means , govt jobs are shrinking !

·      On the other hand , population is increasing by 12 - 15 million per year

·      This will translate to ever larger number competing with decreasing opportunities !

·      This means “ Quota Quantums “ are constantly fluctuating ( like shares ? )

Once again , in a lighter vein :

#  What about those “ Upper Caste RICH “ people ( 10 % of 390 million = 39 million ) ?

    Not being eligible for any quota , what will they do for getting a college education or a

    government job ?

    How about enabling them to “ Buy “ those quotas in an open market , by launching :

    www.QuotaForSale.gov.in    ?

    An “ Upper Caste Poor “ who is very doubtful of ever landing a government job ( -

   remember , his chance of getting one , is only ONE in ONE THOUSAND ) , can register /

   list his QUOTA for sale – to be purchased by those RICH !

   I will not be surprised if , even some of the “ Upper Caste Poor “ may come forward to “

   buy “ a few hundred quotas and improve their  chance in a job interview !

   I am assuming that those advertisements for Jobs / Seats will clearly say :

  “  Interviews will ignore all things considered MERIT , eg : percentage of marks .

    Only criteria will be the “ Number of Quota Quantum “ held by the applicants “
