How do you think Reservation system Impact the self esteem of hard working and intellectual people? Does it declare that people with reserved seats are not capable enough?

India is a democratic country where equality prevails. One of the measures Indian government has taken to ensure the same is to introduce the reservation system to address centuries of discrimination and social inequality faced by certain communities, particularly the Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs). Articles 15 and 16 of the Indian Constitution provide for reservation in educational institutions and government jobs.
This is a very important step for the SCs and STs because it helps in empowering them and giving them those positions they deserve. Today, they are top politicians, doctors, lawyers etc. Many reserved caste people have achieved great heights because they were included and they got to display their talents.
The disadvantages related to this system is that sometimes the low cutoffs can be a bane for them. These people cannot compete with the high percentilers in higher institutes and in educational fields like medical we cannot afford to place people with lower percentilers above than higher ones. This is playing with people’s health.
One change that can be done is we can remove reservation systems from some fields and instead put some strict regulations which says that SCs and STs should not be bothered or discriminated in the work place. The people below poverty lines can get some more benefits than the people who are above poverty lines.
I want to conclude by saying that SCs and STs deserve equality but through reservation systems we are just increasing the discrimination more. As a person who was unaware of the caste system, I came to know about discrimination through the reservation system.

Reservation system is something which has been continuing past from so many years. And the worst part about this is yes it actually brings a sense of self doubt in many students, especially from the ones in the General category. They do try their best but even after all that they dont get a single seat in their dream college. Whereas on the other side, the ones with much less marks than them actually get into good colleges. This leads to a major setback in the life. That directly doesnt imply that the one actually working hard and getting reservation at the same time are not worth it. But there are multiple cases where even though less work is done by them, they get a better college than the one working hard day and night. That is a major setback to the education system. There has been many cases where student loose their ray of hope of getting into their dream college. But yes that doesnt mean the reserved students are not capable enough. The reservation should bring in certain changes that protect the dignity of both the students. But someone who works hard should not face all this situation and should also get the chance to get into their favourite college.
