The it comes down to Privatization and Nationalization.
Honestly the privates will always get the best as their priority is to only get the best suited people to make money for them.
The actual problem is System called Capitalism in yr and my Country who protects the private Businessmen and rich class which exploits poor, Country and Government.
Capitalism is not wrong in real sense.
Actually, Socialism is the culprit.
The reservation problem comes from the Socialist mentality of the government that followed this model from the USSR days.
No body would get anything extra for their effort while everybody would get the same.
It is a flawed model because then there is no incentive to perform.
Tell me, if you are working extra hard, taking extra initiatives for your company to benefit or to excel in your studies, how would you feel if you got the same 'guaranteed' salary that a lazy-@$$ joker got in your office?
This is the same thing.
While no profession is easy and trivial (Even a sweeper does useful job and is respectable), there is a reason why professions are categorized with specific levels of rewards.
A doctor earns more than a mechanic because while the mechanic repairs a non-living automobile, a doctor saves the lives of ailing people.
A pilot earns more than a ticket counter checker because in the air when there is no support, hundreds of lives are balancing on his shoulders and it is his responsibility to get them back in one piece on earth.
These are just small examples.
I know there is exploitation of the poor and it is very evident in India especially when I visit to good countries like Nordic nations and see the difference in labour pay etc.
But that is not because of Capitalism: it is because there is no labour law to protect the lower sections's rights.
A labourer may get half the salary he is promised; if he protests they will fire him. But the unscrupulous manager knows that if he leaves, in a country like India, 100 more will try to get his place.
That is because there is NO labour law. And India's labour laws are a joke. They can never be implemented on private firms because everyone is a sell-out here.
Forget labourers, even ambitious young executives are given pathetic treatment by seniors.
The culture to bully because of seniority is a problem in entire South Asia, compared to Western countries where these things are there, but nowhere in the proportion found in our countries.
