SOCIAL JUSTICE AND THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA

The present system of reservation benefits people belonging to certain arbitrarily listed castes and places them on a superior level irrespective of the present social and educational status of individuals of that castes. Sons and daughters of officer working in the government or private sector, judges, ministers and economically better off persons get the benefit of reservation as economic criterion is not considered. Persons belonging to the so-called forward castes are discriminated against even they are better in terms of merit than those belonging to the Backward Classes. There persons are treated as second class citizens and are being oppressed by the government under the pretext of providing "social justice".
