In the judgment on OBC reservation today, the Madras HC laments that…
“Rather than the caste system being wiped away, the present trend seems to perpetuate it by endlessly extending a measure that was to remain only for a short duration to cover the infancy and, 1/4
possibly, the adolescence of Contempt Petition No.181 of 2021 the Republic. Though the life of a nation state may not be relatable to the human process of ageing, but at over-70, it ought, probably, to be more mature.” 2/4
Till caste discrimination exists, reservation should continue. Even in 2021, to become a simple temple priest, a non-brahmin has to wait from 1939 since the demand arose.
Atrocities against Dalits has become a matter of routine across the country. 3/4
Lordships should come down from their ivory towers and look at the ground reality before expressing their anguish for continuance of reservation for 70 years. 4/4
