The story of Sundar Pichai proves a simple truth: hard work, grit, and brilliance can take anyone from a modest background to the top of the world. Yet in india, merit is often crushed under the weight of a broken system called reservation. What was once introduced as a temporary measure has now become a permanent disease eating away at our nation’s future. Here’s why:

1. Hardship Isn’t Exclusive to Any Category

Walking miles to school, skipping meals, or surviving without coaching — these struggles don’t belong to one caste or category. Even General Category (GC) students face them. Yet, their pain earns them no privilege, only punishment.

2. Merit Beaten by Quotas

A GC student scoring 90% can be denied a seat, while a reserved category student with 70% gets admitted. If opportunity is given to the less deserving while rejecting the more capable, is that progress — or betrayal?

3. Privilege Inside Reservation

The reality is bitter: many wealthy, urban, and privileged families within reserved categories enjoy the benefits meant for the disadvantaged. Meanwhile, poor GC students — truly underprivileged — are left stranded with no support.

4. Reservation Has Outlived Its Purpose

Yes, reservations may have been relevant decades ago to address deep-rooted social inequalities. But today, it has turned into a vote-bank weapon — not a tool for justice. Instead of uplifting the weak, it creates permanent divides.

5. Brain Drain Fueled by Broken Policy

Every year, thousands of brilliant indian students migrate abroad because their talent is not valued here. Countries like the US welcome them with scholarships, while india rejects them because of quotas. Who really loses? India does.

6. Merit is the Only True Equalizer

Talent doesn’t care about caste, privilege, or politics. It only respects hard work. By denying merit its rightful place, india is not just failing individuals — it’s failing its own future.

7. Reservation Has Become a Cancer

Instead of healing old wounds, the reservation has created new ones — bitterness, division, and injustice. It has become a political cancer that eats away at national unity and progress.

⚡ Bottom Line:
If Sundar Pichai could rise without reservation, so can millions of indians — but only if the system stops punishing merit. Reservation is no longer a solution. It’s the problem.

🔥 Killer Closing Line: “Reservation doesn’t uplift the weak — it handicaps the nation.”
