🚨 “Reservation or Family Business? Ria Dabi’s Selection Sparks Outrage”
Merit is bleeding in India. Thousands of hardworking aspirants from the General category scored higher, yet faced rejection. Meanwhile, Ria Dabi — daughter of an IES officer, sister of IAS topper Tina Dabi, comfortably “qualified” despite scoring far below the cut-off for General candidates.
This isn’t about opportunity for the underprivileged anymore. This is about privilege disguised as social justice. Families already settled in luxury are milking the same reservation benefits generation after generation — while genuinely deserving candidates are left to rot.
Here are 7 brutal truths this case exposes about the rot in India’s reservation system 👇
1. 🎯 Merit Loses, Surnames Win
Ria scored 83.67. The general category cutoff was 92.51. Thousands with higher marks were kicked out. Not because they weren’t good enough, but because their ancestors 2000 years ago didn’t belong to the right caste.
2. 👑 Reservation Has Become Hereditary Privilege
Father is an IES officer. Sister is an IAS officer. The entire family is already settled in power and privilege. Yet, reservations are being claimed as if they’re still oppressed.
3. 🛑 From Social Justice to Social Exploitation
The policy meant to uplift the downtrodden has become a family inheritance scheme. Those who’ve already made it to the top keep blocking the way for others.
4. 🚂 Reservation Is Now a Closed Railway Compartment
Imagine a train. A few entered early because they were given priority. Fair enough. But now, instead of stepping aside after reaching safely, they’ve locked the doors and want their families alone to enjoy the ride — forever.
5. 💸 Real Underprivileged Are Still Waiting Outside
The real poor, landless, struggling in rural villages, are still waiting outside the system. Meanwhile, privileged elites like the Dabis continue to siphon benefits.
6. 🤡 Social Justice or Social Joke?
It’s not uplifting the downtrodden anymore. It’s shielding the powerful. Reservation is supposed to end inequality, but today it’s breeding more resentment and more unfairness.
7. 🔥 This Is Why Brain Drain Happens
Brilliant, hardworking students — rejected despite higher scores — are choosing to leave India. Why fight a rigged system when you can succeed abroad?
Closing Punch
This isn’t empowerment. This is entitlement on steroids. Reservation has turned from a weapon of justice into a tool of exploitation. And as long as privileged elites keep hijacking it, India’s youth will keep losing faith in the system.
