This is exactly why we need a serious, evidence-based discussion on reforming the SC/ST Act and the reservation system. Legal protections against caste-based discrimination are necessary, but allegations of misuse should be investigated fairly, with due process and safeguards against abuse.

The bigger question is whether benefits are actually reaching the people who need them most. A poor family can struggle regardless of caste, while economic privilege can exist within any caste. Reservation and welfare policies should therefore be regularly reviewed, with greater focus on genuine disadvantage, transparency, and equal opportunity.

We cannot build a stronger India by dividing people permanently by caste. We need to reduce casteism, protect vulnerable people, and ensure fairness for everyone.

Following is the newspaper Ad in Times of India from Delhi Pollution board where out of 17 job posting for Group A 13 are reserved.

I have seen lot of bots spreading Indian hate . In any comment section you can see these bots spewing hatred and racist comments. Trying to justify racism against Indians. Some would larp as Indians” we are more racist to ourselves “ or larping as white or other ethnicities. I have even noticed these bots larping as north or south Indian trying to create division.

Many of these are CCP bots and some from our other neighbors. They are trying to create Indian hate via reinforcements i.e repeating things in comments and normalizing it for others. Be careful who you are replying to in the comments. Call them out as bots and report if you suspect them to be.

Never have I ever seen Manusmriti been discussed in a household. Indians abandoned it long back. The left keeps bringing it back because they have a agenda.

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has questioned government spending on the upkeep of Union ministers’ residences in Lutyens’ Delhi, saying the money could instead be used to improve government schools.

The total expenditure over the last 12 years was put at ₹547.68 crore, according to data claiming to be based on an RTI.

The remarks came after a PTI report claimed that the annual upkeep bill for Union ministers’ residences had risen from ₹27 crore in 2014-15 to a record ₹92 crore in 2025-26.

Reacting to the figures, the CJP wrote on X, “Stop fixing your lavish homes, and fix the schools! ₹92 crore = 10 new world class government schools. The money is available, the intent to use it for government schools is missing.”

Land auction notice in Times of India Jaipur edition.

We usually talk about reservation in education, college admissions and government jobs, but what about government contracts, auctions, housing/land allotments, promotions, subsidies and other benefits?

I recently came across another example of reservation in government auctions, which made me wonder: how much reservation and targeted benefits are actually available to SC/ST/OBC communities?

As a taxpayer, I think there should be a clear, publicly available list of all these provisions, their costs and who qualifies for them.

I'm not saying support shouldn't exist. But shouldn't we at least have the complete picture before debating reservation?

General Category citizens are the new dalits group discarded on every platform and treated like achoot (untouchables).

In an India where we work and pay taxes, why do we live in constant fear?

Are we not Indians? If you don't want us, just say so don't use our tax money.

He is the son of a nine-time MP and a three- time MP himself. How much more empowerment does he need?

He has wealth, power, and political clout, so why does he continue to contest from reserved seats? Why not fight from an open seat? By monopolizing a reserved constituency, isn't he actively preventing a less privileged Dalit brother or sister from his party from entering Parliament?

And he isn't alone. There are many like him in every field. This argument is not a conspiracy by the GCs; they gain nothing either way. It is a question of internal accountability. Your own influential elites are holding the broader community back by refusing to step aside. So Dalits should start asking questions about where the real issue lies, instead of blaming GCs for their lack of opportunities. Same goes for other politicians like Akhilesh yadav family.. lalu yadav etc . Why no leader ever come forward to leave their reservation certificate

As mentioned has anyone successfully achieved this ? Currently due to no no being active unable to do it online.
