Tourism Potential of India Regarding Indian Economy
Reservation in India is a form of affirmative action designed to improve the well-being of perceived backward and under-represented communities defined primarily by their 'caste ' (quota-system based on 'gender ' or 'religion ') is a phenomenon that commenced with the coming into force of the Indian Constitution (the Constitution initially provided reservation to Christians, with the proviso that it wouldautomatically reduce gradually with the efflux of time) – however, lately preferential treatment on regional basis has either been non-statutorily introduced in the educational institutes (e.g. eligibility conditions for candidates from outside the State are 5% higher than that for the 'locals ', as per local rules prescribed by certain Universities) or is being advocated in both jobs and lowly professions like auto-rickshaw-drivers).
These are laws (both Constitutional and statutory) or merely local rules/ regulations/ practices (not derived from any Act passed by the Parliament or State-Legislature) wherein a certain percentage of total available vacancies in educational institutes and government jobs are set aside for people from backward communities and others. Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST) and Other Backward Classes (OBC) are the primary beneficiaries of the reservation policies under the Constitution—with the object of ensuring a level playing field (without defining the bench-mark that determines which particular individual player has reached the said 'level '; the Supreme Court 's recent concept of 'creamy layer ' requires a case-by-case determination as to who has ceased to deserve protection of these Laws).
The reservation system has been a matter of contention ever since it was first introduced in the British occupied India and remains a point of conflict—nay, a form of protectionism [placing a 'handicap ' upon certain communities] was introduced by the Mughals who levied 'jazia ' tax against the Hindu traders.

    The Caste System determines the wealth, power and privilege of all human beings. But aside from the belief in tradition and order the Caste System brings about inequality and injustice towards many of society. Members of the higher castes enjoy all kinds of privileges, whereas the lower caste of society are deprived of all privileges, more than 160 million people in India alone are considered "Untouchable.” Oppression plays a huge role during the early ages of the Caste System. The Untouchables were made to fear all those that dominated above them, they were treated inhumanely, Untouchables live in continual fear of being publicly humiliated, paraded naked, beaten, and raped by upper-caste Hindus in reassurance to keep them in place. They were deprived all choice of social, religious, economic, cultural and political rights and privileges. This is considered inequality as the Untouchables have done nothing to deserve such punishment. Walking through an upper-caste neighbourhood is a dangerous wrongdoing. During the beginning of the 1900’s was the time in which justice…

    Not much has changed with India involving the caste system since it was first introduced. The four major groups were known as the varnas but now they are called castes. Four major castes emerged from the mouth, arms, legs, and feet of Perusha (the first human being). There are four basic castes with hundreds of subdivisions. All of this which was believed in India when the caste system was first started is still believed and followed today. In modern day India the untouchables are still around and they are at the bottom of the caste system. It’s quite unfortunate for these people given that they were born into being an untouchable and can’t do anything about…

    In the matter of social relationships, discrimination against Muslims and Dalits takes the form of barriers against access to justice, eating, drinking, worshiping, and having access to common properties. It puts a ban on all common cycles of participation. In the use of public facilities, the sprit of discrimination manifests itself in the exclusion of the Muslims and Dalits from schools, wells, temples, means of conveyance and access to land, water and other livelihood resources. Public administration is also deeply drenched in the sprit of discrimination against Muslims. It has affected law courts, government department, banks and particularly the police.

    India is a plural nation, where multiplicity is as natural as sunshine and there is no substitute to democratic coexistence. In this democratic coexistence, racism and sexism are not simply biological or genetic classifications but social and political processes which still reflect on the face of Modern India. Recognizing its existence, which is so deep rooted in the social fabric of India, is the initial remedy. Nevertheless, law framers need to realize that complete minoritarianism on arbitrary grounds would only lead to ‘reverse discrimination’ which would never bring a solution to the disquiet because the term ‘equality’ needs to be appropriately justified.…

    People with disabilities are one of the most disenfranchised groups in India. Standardized measurements of disability in India and internationally have overlooked the linkages between the economy and disability. In recent decades, neo-liberal economic reforms imposed in developing countries, under pressure from international financial institutions, have downsized state role, privatized social goods, and encouraged export-led strategies and market-based economics. India's economic reforms, initiated in 1991, have led to rapid economic growth that is, however, increasingly mal-distributed.…

    According to historians, the most important factor in the growth of caste system: was the occupations. Occupations were classified in order of their social status, initially based on Karma and the percentage of the Gunas; Sattav, Rajas, Tamas the system became very rigid. During the British reign, it was proposed that the Scheduled Castes be treated as a separate community and granted separable representation under the Government of India Act 1935. After Independence, the Constituent Assembly Advisory Committee on Fundamental Rights and Minorities headed by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, recommended special privilege to the Schedule Caste and Scheduled Tribe for a limited period of 10 years. The privileges were meant for the upliftment of the lower castes, but it has become gross abuse in the hand of self-centered politicians and so called Dalit Leaders, Dalit Leaders argue that' higher castes have suppressed the lower castes for a long time, so now they will a have to suffer equally for long period. Some argue that Reservation is a political, social, economic and constitutional policy to accord justice by absorbing the SCs and STs in the social mainstream.…
