THIS IS A SHOCKER. REGIONALLY —LOSS DUE TO RESERVATIONS MUCH HIGHER THAN ANTICIPATED

I had posed some questions pertaining to reservations. And these questions were mostly focused on regional disparities across all categories.

I will summarise it here and will also be addressing a press conference.

DETAILS OF CATEGORY CERTIFICATES ISSUED IN JAMMU AND IN KASHMIR FROM 01/04/23

REGION SC %age
JAMMU 67112 100%
KASHMIR NIL 0%

REGION ST %age
JAMMU 459493 85.3%
KASHMIR. 79813 14.7%

REGION EWS %age
JAMMU 27420 92.3%
KASHMIR 2273 7.7%

REGION ALC %age
JAMMU 268 94.3
KASHMIR 16 5.7

REGION IB %age
JAMMU 551 100
KASHMIR 0 0

REGION RBA %age
JAMMU 1379 52.8
KASHMIR 1229 48.2

Kashmir as region is far far behind. The net loss of quotas to Kashmiri speaking population is of a much higher scale than we had thought.

The whole reservation concept is rigged against the Kashmiri speaking population and against ST or EWS living in Kashmir.

Even the ST population living in Kashmir is a net loser. They make up a meagre 15% of the total applicants from the ST pool.

RBA is almost same but when you adjust for population, against it is less. Kashmir population is approximately 7% more. And areas under RBA are almost same proportionately. Yet in number terms they are behind Jammu

And lastly the Committe set up by government on 10/12/2024 to examine grievances has no specific timeline for submitting report. We were told it is 6 months timeline.

Despite some confusion about the rules of business, this is the time for the @OmarAbdullah government to put its foot down and go for a radical review and rationalisation of the existing Reservation Policy which is a total travesty of justice to the Open Merit candidates. This, in fact, is a chronic malaise. This is the right time to keep reservations proportional to the size of the population of a category. This is the right time to fully abolish some categories as the Reservation of certain categories has been blatantly misused and meritocracy has been failed for decades in broad daylight in Jammu and Kashmir. This is a particular responsibility of the @JKNC_ government which has promised a review of the Reservation Policy in its election manifesto. If it fails to fulfill its commitments to the employable youths, who constitute 70% of our electorate, it will meet the same fate in 2029 which its adversaries met in 2024.

I just had a conversation with Mr. Prashant, who works with Kapil Sibal Sir. We discussed the new reservation rules & how they are affecting OM candidates. Acc to him,the ist step is to have a local lawyer who can handle the drafting & filing,& then we can proceed with our part.

On 15th March a death sentence was executed and Merit was hanged to death.

Every political party hesitated to oppose what BJP did to gain traction in ONE parliament seat — which they eventually didn’t even contest.

An entire generation was pushed to the margins!

Hello General Category,

A High Court once observed, "it is the duty of the living to speak for the dead"

Today I want to understand whether you guys are dead or alive. If alive, why there's silence over the new reservation policy in J&K?

Silence amounts acceptance. YOURS TOO!
