The Reservations Paradox

In the following article, I speak against the concept of reservations for minorities in employment, education institutions, political processes, etc. Reservations for minorities is a mainly India-based concept especially for the equity of different castes under the caste system, however several legal provisions in several other countries exist as well – UK’s 2010 Equality Act, USA’s and Israel’s Affirmative Action, China’s general reservations for women, etc. Note that my knowledge of reservation systems outside of India is limited, and I apologize for any factual inaccuracies I may make if I refer to reservations not in India.
