The Central Selection Board of Constables (CSBC) sets different physical eligibility standards for candidates based on caste. What looks like a small difference on paper actually reflects a deep-rooted problem of caste appeasement politics. Instead of building a stronger police force, such policies risk creating weaker institutions and endless resentment.
Here’s why this matters:
1. Different Yardsticks for the Same Uniform
2. Merit is Sacrificed at the Altar of Vote Banks
Physical standards are lowered, not to build efficiency, but to keep caste arithmetic intact. Merit bleeds, politics wins.
3. Weak Standards = Weak Law & Order
A constable isn’t just a number; he’s the backbone of law enforcement. Diluting standards compromises public safety in the long run.
4. Caste-Politics Fuels Victimhood
The same sections benefiting today are often pushed into crying fake atrocity stories tomorrow, creating more division instead of unity.
5. The Real Loser is India
Instead of rising above caste, we are entrenching it deeper in our institutions. The result? Competence suffers, resentment grows, and law & order collapses.
👉 Bottom Line: When caste appeasement trumps merit, the system bleeds. india deserves a police force built on strength, skill, and equality—not on vote bank arithmetic.
