Discussion
The argument ‘irrespective of the economic progress we make, we continue to remain socially disadvantaged’ by those benefiting from it is unacceptable. Reservation destroys self-respect, so much so that competition is no longer on to determine the best but the most backward.Is it fair to extend reservation to the children of professors, scientists, bureaucrats, MPs and MLAs belonging to the SC, the ST and the OBC?
The passage best supports the statement that:
Answer: B
Correct answer: The reservation system has received a mixed response from Indians since its inception.
The passage is one side of an argument: it calls the beneficiaries’ case unacceptable, says reservation destroys self-respect, and asks whether the children of professors and MPs should be covered. The existence of a case being rejected, and a question being pressed, is evidence that opinion is divided. The stronger options - that India never needs reservation, or that the policy was a mistake - go further than a passage that only questions its extension.
