Scheduled Tribe actors in Bollywood or television? - Page 7

90 percent of them are from Peshawar area and still we are grappling with their good for nothing spawn-all Kapoors, khanz....

🙄 I guess you mean that there are a lot of STs in the north east. But if most of them scored 35%.....that's really worrying..

I have seen my friends who come from lower-middle class houses paying 40k per year for education and they had to take loan and the other lower castes who are upper middle class paying 5k and still crying. How unfair it is! 😵

Northeast is mostly tribal dominated region, apart from Assam and maybe Tripura.

Yes many medical practitioners here are those who are low marks attaining ones. That's why the medical facility here is quite crap.

I come from a reputed semi-government college(Jharkhand), so there was SC, ST, OBC and also Girls quota.

There were reservation students from really backward places as well as ones with Macbooks(which was a huge deal in 2012-2013). I remember this group (30-40 students who were from affluent families but not so privileged castes) used to contri around Rs 100000 every semester and then give it as a bribe to the assistant registrar to declare them as BPL and then they would get a scholarship per sem from their respective states(Bihar or Jharkhand).

And then there was my roommate, she too was an SC, with a widowed mother who used to stitch clothes to earn a living, two more siblings to worry about but she could not be declared BPL as her father's pension was around 10000 pm. She actually told me once in a moment of despair(got a Back in one of the subjects in the penultimate semester) that she couldn't even commit suicide as then who would pay off the loan her mother had taken for her studies.

All this makes me feel that the system and even the ones who use it are sometimes really unfair to the ones who actually need this support.

Hopefully one day we'll have a better system in place.

Did anyone see the Jats burning Haryana a few years ago because they were denied the "prestigious" OBC status?

Now Jats are possibly the most powerful community in Haryana. This is not uncommon either. Tons of well to do communities don't want to either give up or join OBC today because it is "prestigious" and comes with tons of perks in every single field.

I understand why it was started. To uplift the socially or financially weak communities but it's broken today. If we really want to get rid of the Caste system we should start with reservation.

Reservation should exist but to uplift the poor and should be completely based on a family's income not their caste.
