Indian Caste-Based Reservation is not based on merit, it is based on priviledges based on birth. Caste-Based repression still exists in some areas but it can be controlled and eradicated through the use of better laws, policies and implememtation. So I think its the right time to remove a dividing policy from our system.

My Ideas:

1. Remove all forms of caste-based reservation from our constitution
2. 25% seats should be reserved for EWS ( Economically Weaker Sections ) and 75% seats unreserved
3. Remove the income cap for EWS from 8 lakhs/year to 3.5 lakhs/year or less
4. Anyone using a fake EWS certificate ( or one by bribing ) shall be harshly fined and jailed
5. Government releasing scholorship schemes for underpriviledged instead of giving freebies

My intentions of posting these are not criticising those who use reservations ( I would also use it if I was eligible ) but to remove this unequal, dividing policy that would result in betterment and development of our motherland.

Comment what you think about this, upvote if agree and can also downvote if disagree.

Remove reservation, and remove caste,

That’s the only protest I would join, once you get reservation out, you only get people based on merit, not those guys who screwed around and got into some government seats because of reservations and have no interest in the subject neither the job.

No you get quality, and this quality will change the country, not that lazy ass guy who drove around when he was supposed to study.

No !

A country grows only on merit. And all these protests are always going to fail, they will fail because we do not choose by merit!

I have been juggling with student protest idea and have came across different ideas. Here is my core thesis and would love some feedback.

My current plan of action:

1. I just vote for any part that is not BJP in next election (Reason 1)
2. I let UPA win (Reason 1), even though I kinda hate them. (Reason 2) (UPA because there is no other viable option, CJP is still a joke tbh, maybe a new party comes along)
3. Most likely in next election I get BJP back. But in case UPA proved to be better I keep them (Reason 3, Reason 4)

Reason 1: BJP has been in power for long time, and has gain massive power. They have at point seem to bias Main stream media. The core supporters do not accept dissent. And alongside corrections in the curriculum specific pro BJP propaganda has been added seemingly. This just brings my fear of something like North Korea, China type dictatorship where dissent is lost for long. I would want to break the momentum right now.

Reason 2: India does not have a true left. The current left is purely hypocrites and illogical and does not see real world. I personally am a supporter of secularism, gender equality and all. I am truly left but in india I am somehow right. But this does not mean I can disregard crimes based on religion. Even if I minor part of some religion is offensive, the other oppressed religion (and the oppressed ones can be majority as well, you only need a few oppressor) should expect protection (only protection and not extra support)

Reason 3: This is opinionated and can be wrong. I would want to reassess by seeing how UPA perform. I still feel the work in regards of railway, economic stability (people will bullshit about Indian rupees and all, but GDP (ppp) is strictly the primary metric), terror attacks, naxalites, foreign policy (guys world does contain other nations rather than China, Pak, US, Russia, Israel; checkout Europe, Africa, Middle East and so on; there have been some improvements amd some degradations)

Reason 4: Since, the next election would see the right block likely broken and left block united, I fear the UPA government will most likely (highly opinionated) favor or try to lick left ass. And that might be harmful or bring about break in security for right. This fear primarily draws from previous generation, but also based on minor instances seen of religious warfare (I am not trying to hide my religious fears, because even though I might not believe in god altogether, there is an identity and corresponding pragmatic security, and we love in real world and not utopia).

The major reason I am currently still not hell bent on this plan (in my world view my reasons are correct): Can merely 5 years of a wrong government (which could be UPA if they turned out bad) can be how bad and what is likelihood (My fear stems from Bihar, West Bengal).

Also, the reason I am still positive on this, is i don't know the current UPA. The leaders have changed. I have not seen Rahul Gandhi in action (and to be honest I liked his metaphor "aalu daalo sona niklega", this is basically a metaphor for a great economy not a literal machine, the guy was decent once to point out flaws in his own party, and was forced in politics based on what social media taught me). The change might let us evaluate if the new government is better.

Any contrarian or supporting thoughts?

I connected a few dots that I found interesting. Modi tweeted around midnight and, soon after, Sonam Wangchuk ended his protest. Then I looked at the political timeline and noticed that Parliament's Monsoon Session began on 21 July 2026, with one of the important agenda items being amendments to the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA), the law that regulates foreign funding received by NGOs and other organizations. Sonam Wangchuk is associated with an NGO, and there have been allegations that it received foreign funding, although those allegations have not been proven in court. Seeing all this made me wonder whether holding such a major protest on 20 July, just before Parliament was set to discuss stricter FCRA provisions, was really just a coincidence.

From my perspective, the timing of the protest, the end of the hunger strike after the Prime Minister's tweet, and the upcoming debate on tighter foreign funding regulations seem too closely placed to simply ignore. If an NGO could potentially be affected by stricter scrutiny of foreign contributions, then it is reasonable to ask whether the timing of the protest had any strategic or political calculation behind it. At the very least, the sequence of events raises questions that deserve discussion rather than being dismissed outright.

I am not claiming this proves a conspiracy or that these events are definitively linked, because there is no public evidence establishing that. I am simply saying that when multiple politically significant events happen within such a short span of time, it is natural to examine whether there is a connection. Sometimes timing is just timing, but sometimes timing itself becomes part of the political story, and that is why I think these events are worth looking at together.

What's ur take?? (I used AI only to improve the wording and readability of my thoughts...the observations and conclusions are my own)

The following things should be observed to keep things peaceful imo

No party affiliation. Neither ruling not opposition, not even upcoming ones.

No anarchist messaging
(If i am here for a specific cause why is everything under the sun being bought up)

No lewd conduct.

No misogynistic slogans.

Student leaders for student protests. (No 30 year old man parading as Gen-z.)

No inciting behaviour like pelting stones and overthrowing public infrastructure. Carrying swords etc.

As an observer and a woman, I really don’t like the kind of language and the tone of most of this protest. They have lost all decorum. Aside from the witty posters (which I’m not talking about), most guys are blatantly using misogynistic terms as a way to hurl insults!? We all know that most slurs are sexist to their core and virtually no swear term is devoid of misogyny, but these idiots in the protest are taking it to the next level. I’m not surprised by this just deeply disappointed.

I saw a video of men molesting a caricature of Mo-di. Disgusting. One theme that was recurrent in a lot of posts and comments was the implication that “men give and women take” as their worldview for intimacy, with the latter somehow being inherently shameful. And that’s why every insult follows this communication pattern. Their tone while swearing often sounds 🍇g-*apey and intimidating.

This was supposed to be a student protest and yet it has lost decorum. It has been co opted by literally everyone, men especially to vent out their frustration by repeatedly telling up how they can intimidate by “f-ing up the ahh of the govt” apparently. Their language one hundred percent insinuates coercion and I don’t understand why a serious protest doesnt deserve respectable messaging.

Atp I'm just feeling sad for these gen z ke chodus jo instagram se influence ho hoke vha pahuch gye vha pe jake hero bn rhe hai clout ke liye, ilab jab ib aur police inke videos jo nikal chuki hai ye protest khtm hone ke bad kya kregi in jhatuo ko shyd abhi idea nhi hai , it's so over for them and their carrier Aur cjp ka leader itna bada rundi ka bccha hai ki jese hi NSA laga turnt bhag gya aur social media pe bol rha hai mai bimar hu Bechare bacche bhot ganda chudege ab unfortunately
