When Equality Lacks Its Sense………..
We all know that equality (‘=’) plays an important role in our life. This is universal fact that, 1+1=2 where the equality (= sign) can no way lack its meaning. In mathematical terms it can never loose its sense unless otherwise we ourselves commit some mistake. Mistakes will happen every now and then. Here I would like to present a small instance where one can go wrong in doing simple mathematical operations and make ‘=’ to give up its sense.
Let a=b then,
a2 = a b
ð a2 -b2 = ab –b2
ð (a+b)(a-b) =b(a-b)
ð a+b =b
ð 2b = b
ð 2 = 1 ……! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! This is unacceptable even by layperson.
(Identifying the mistake embedded in the above operations is left to the reader.)
But here my intention is not to talk about the equality sign that we use in day-today mathematics. I want to talk about the equality mentioned in our constitution (worlds biggest) and its present day conditions including political, educational, religious, employment sectors and many more.
When our constitution upholds that ‘All Indian citizens are equal’ then my question is ‘Where comes the question of category and reservation? Of course I also agree with morality of original constitution because in earlier days some people of society (I won’t refer as caste) were heavily suppressed by some others, so it gave equal rights to all and created some special opportunities to those people to come up. But now the things are changed, there is no such suppression of any community, then why he number of categories increasing today? I think it is the governing body which divided the people into various categories and kept them under different English alphabets with prefixes and suffixes keeping in mind that the count should end up with all available alphabets as names and face scarcity of name for the new one. If this type of categorization continues then the names should borrow the Latin, Greek letters also.
Majority and minority issue is not apart from this. But I will restrict my pen because there comes the issue of religions and I may go furious with it.
One thing is sure that by keeping the people under various categories and giving some X % reservation in each and every sector will not bring them up. It is mere illusion of the govt. Every person is born with equal intelligence given by nature and nature will not bias any particular community in this issue. Everyone should come up with his/her own ability and intelligence not by getting some reserved job.
This reservation is the one which suppresses their skill and hard work since they already know that they will get a guaranteed job if they pass out with a mere degree certificate. The reservation may improve them financially but how would you say that the people grouped under general category are not poor?
They should be given with right education and I won’t agree with intentions of some schools in private sector to impose certain rules particularly poor students .That is purely a bias and such minds should be rightly punished. Again I oppose the system of reservation of seats for higher education where the intelligence and skill should be honored not the categories. It does not mean that they should not get higher education .But they should get it from their brilliancy which will lead the country in progressive path.
On reading these entire facts one question for you is, ‘ is the term Equality among the citizens of
