Why are there seats reserved for all women (not only pregnant women) in public transport buses in India? How is it fair?
Lets go back to 1980's 70's for a while. As we all know women weren't interested/Allowed to come out of their houses. So giving enough reservation in the society either in the buses/Colleges/Govt Offices was the idea to make women come out of the houses to get their glory of living with their Heads-up. As years passed, Women started roaming without hesitation. (But still ,Even Now in some towns women do not go even to buy vegetables,Shops etc.. Ex : My mom never leaves house , whenever she is her native place in Andhra Pradesh) Even if the ladies reserved seats are full, I have witnessed so many people giving away their seats. Coming to the point1) Women are respected , Seats are given not because they will be molested or something else . User 's point of view is somewhat different. Yes few people purposefully try to get on Women standing in the bus.But that's not the point.2) Women are Comparatively sensitive than men.Women's physical ability is sometimes complex. Pregnancy,Periods etc etc Men can even climb up the running bus, a girl/Women WILL not. (Take a look, its not CANNOT ). 3) In 2013 , its unfair. Now a days Girl can do anything. (Actually they should do anything a boy can. That is why Reservation came into picture ! )They do not need 3 cars of reservation in trains. 40% of seats in bus. 4) Me staying in Germany from past few years, Have observed a lot of things. And Here Equality is defined. They are strong enough to break jaws of any guy. They have a habit of doing Gym. Unfortunately most of the Indians girls haven't adopted that culture, Soon they will.
What is wrong with the Indian education system?
Thinking.Science for intelligent ones.Commerce for “good in maths” students.Arts for weak students.Question papers.Bihar boards’ open cheating.Repeating the same questions from past papers. Leading to proliferation of “guidebooks” business.Clash of views.If your views don’t match with the teachers’, you won’t get desired marks.Long hauls.11000 UPSC aspirants on an average don’t make it in the interview. 2000 of them don’t find their place in the merit list. They have to go through the process again. They could have had easily filled any group B job.Mugging over understanding.“Sun rises in the east and sets in the west.”People writing XII boards mostly remember the solution of the question asked in their exam.Stickiness in thought process.Reforms are envisaged in 10 years. It takes 10 years to implement them.K. Kasturirangan to head panel on National Education Policy. He will suggest some fresh reforms. But alas, all those reforms will bite the dust.TSR Subramanian’s recommendations on Higher education are yet to be implemented.Last day hauls.“Ma’am told us these important topics. Learn these by heart. You will get good marks.”Sad part is that these persons really do top the exams.It leads to “Yes men” around teachers and professors.Vicious cycles.Intelligent—- Science—-Send to Kota—-Depressed—-Suicide.Commerce — Prepare for CA — Feels like not interested — ends up wasting precious time.Arts --Prepare for UPSC—not interested—- ends up wasting many years.Extraordinary delays.CBSE did some serious mistakes in this year’s results. Now, many students' marks are increasing. But college cut off won’t count those increased marks. These students miss the cutoffs of their favourite colleges.UPSC exams takes an year to complete the process. Many young years are drained into it.Things are beaten into the head.My friend’s sibling had started writing sentences. I asked him to write something. I asked him to write something in 5 different ways.He wrote the word “something” in five different fonts!When after few months, the teacher asked him to write something, he did the same. He was scolded by the teacher. He came to home crying.AImage: Don't Let Perfect Get In the Way of Progress.
