It’s not hardship but a biased system that pushes youth into darkness. When merit is sidelined for identity, frustration finds dangerous paths. #SystemFailure #RethinkReservations"

This policy is placing immense pressure on the younger generation, particularly in Kashmir, where eco and employment opportunities remain scarce. Rather than functioning as a tool for upliftment, the reservation structure increasingly appears to create hardship and frustration.

LOOK WHY KASHMIR FEELS VICTIMISED IN J&K RESERVATION POLICY

The official data disclosed in the Legislative Assembly at Jammu on Wednesday shows that the lion's share in government jobs and scholarships goes hugely disproportionately to Jammu Division in spite of the fact that the overall population as per the 2011 census was 56% in Kashmir and 44% in Jammu Division.

●SCHEDULED TRIBE (ST)
7,49,970 certificates
JAMMU: 6,93,781 (92.50%)
KASHMIR: 56,189 (7.40%)

●SCHEDULED CASTE (SC)
1,41,419 certificates
JAMMU: 1,39,664 (98.76%)
KASHMIR: 1,755 (1.24%)

●BACKWARD AREAS (RBA)
1,00,848 certificates
JAMMU: 50,982 (50.55%)
KASHMIR: 49,866 (49.45%)

●ACTUAL LINE OF CONTROL (ALC)
7,192 certificates
JAMMU: 6,732 (93.60%)
KASHMIR: 460 (6.40%)

●INTERNATIONAL BORDER (IB)
6,732 certificates
JAMMU: 6,732 (100%)
KASHMIR 0 (0.00%)

●OTHER BACKWARD CLASSES (OBC)
1,30,976 certificates
JAMMU: 78,324 (59.80%)
KASHMIR: 52,652 (40.20%)

This is why OPEN MERIT candidates in Kashmir as well as in Jammu are seeking a drastic revision of the existing Reservation Policy which was adopted by the bureaucracy in absence of a popular government in March 2024.

@NissarGuru @ahmedalifayyaz What has this powerless govt done to correct it? They have reduced it to the level where you have nothing to fight for.

[Younus Bhat @YBhat88484]

@Faheem85005843 @Rakesh66677 @ahmedalifayyaz Where will he get those facts? Even before 370 abrogation. Jammu enjoyed st , sc , ib. Alc ,rba etc etc The only share kashmiris got was out of merit based selections.

[Younus Bhat @YBhat88484]

@ahmedalifayyaz Despite all of this loot in the name of this so called shitty reservation, people of jammu division cry discrimination. Shamelessness overloaded. The current government seems to have made another sale deed to feed jammu people at the cost of kashmir.

[Younus Bhat @YBhat88484]

@yashasvi_k17 True.

Talent is temporary, reservation is permanent.😀

Reservations make 11/500 marks candidate Maths teacher .
General category 400/500 is jobless .
If general category parent are having money by chance it will lead to brain drain or else there kids inspite of scoring 90% will be jobless .
How is this justified even after 80 years of independence?

[Younus Bhat @YBhat88484]

@aaqib121_ More power to you.

[Younus Bhat @YBhat88484]

@ajaykraina Whatever you have cited here has no factual basis ,the reality is K has been reduced to a resource bank and job feeder for Jmu. Budget flows, institutions and opportunities are tilted. Kmr gives, Jmu gains. This is not integration, it’s economic extraction masked as governance.

[Younus Bhat @YBhat88484]

@SaraHayatShah Stop this jammu appeasement policy fir god sake now. You have made kashmir hell with this rotten policy. They will be never be happy with kashmir despite enjoying loins share in government jobs in the form of unjust reservations etc how long will a common kashmiri has to suffer?

[Younus Bhat @YBhat88484]

@TacticalIn0bf2 No he forgot 70% seats are reserved for jammu province.

[Younus Bhat @YBhat88484]

@pahaadsehu @nayeema1 Konsa merit reservation wali ? Aur fraud wali merit. Shame on you jahil

[Younus Bhat @YBhat88484]

@rainaamit @tahirlone15974 @MehboobaMufti Free passes you mean 70% that you have in jammu? Sharm naam ki cheez hai ?

[Younus Bhat @YBhat88484]

@warrior9927 @Junaid_Mattu You will progress under dogra state with increased reservation as the ratio of your population will go up. You should be happy.

@SyedJunaidHsmi Kashmiri students are fighting on two unequal fronts: a skewed reservation regime that blocks open competition and institutional structures that consistently disadvantage them. Calling this “pure merit” ignores reality. Equal rules on unequal ground is not justice.

I understand the sense of hurt and disappointment which might have caused to those aspirants who failed to make it to the final stage of the exam for Judicial services.
Competitive examinations especially judicial services are emotionally draining and when results appear skewed, it is natural to look for explanations.
However, it is important to separate emotion from evidence and perception from process.
First, a written mains examination is purely merit-based. The examiner evaluating answer scripts does not know the identity, region, religion or background of any candidate.
Answer sheets are anonymised through coded numbers. Evaluation is confined strictly to what is written on paper.
Second, this is not a closed or opaque system. Every candidate has the legal right to apply under the RTI Act, obtain photocopies of their evaluated answer sheets, compare model answers, marking patterns, examiner remarks and publicly demonstrate with evidence if there has been arbitrariness or bias
This mechanism exists precisely to prevent injustice. If a candidate believes they wrote well, the system allows them to prove it factually not rhetorically.
Third, reservation does not operate inside the evaluation of a written paper. Reservation applies after marks are awarded at the stage of selection and cut-offs. It cannot explain performance gaps in a mains examination where answers are marked blindly. Blaming reservation for outcomes in a written exam risks misdirecting anger away from the real issue.
Fourth, it is worth acknowledging an uncomfortable but necessary truth.
Clearing prelims and clearing mains are fundamentally different challenges.
Many strong prelim candidates across India fail mains every year. This is not unique to any region.
Finally, politicising individual academic outcomes helps no student. Governments can improve coaching access, mentorship, libraries and institutional support but no government writes an answer on behalf of a candidate in a judicial exam.
And before i conclude, Saying that one region has got more than another is a flawed way of looking at a competitive written examination. Judicial exams do not operate on regional entitlement. They operate on individual performance.
The correct question is not why Jammu did better or why Kashmir did worse but whether the evaluation process was fair and blind. In this case, it was. Mains answer scripts are anonymised. Examiners do not know whether a candidate is from Jammu, Kashmir or anywhere else. They assess only the quality of legal reasoning, structure, accuracy and application of law.
Regional comparisons also ignore a basic reality of competitive exams. Outcomes vary year to year. In some cycles, one region performs better; in others, the balance shifts. This fluctuation happens and it is not proof of bias. It is a feature of merit-based selection.
Claiming “we deserved more” risks turning personal disappointment into collective entitlement which is neither fair to those who qualified nor helpful to those who did not. Every candidate who made it to the list did so by clearing the same papers under the same conditions.
Pain deserves empathy but conclusions must rest on proof. If injustice exists, RTI is the way forward not assumptions that undermine both institutions and one’s own hard work. The disappointment of aspirants from Kashmir region is real. But doubting the integrity of a blind, reviewable written examination without evidence will only weaken your case not strengthen it.

@dogra_ns Yes jammu people are talented , superior and intellectually progressive. All they need is 70% freebie jobs, barbarian move etc to maintain their intellectual brilliance 😂 jahil insaan grow up and wash this dirty mind with some pure water of jehlum.

NEET PG 2025 : plunging CUTOFFS due to excessive Reservations -
A Man Made Disaster !

[Younus Bhat @YBhat88484]

@ShaelMSharma @ImranNDar What has jammu done to deserve these institutions? Jammu stands on the back of decades of discrimination against kashmiris in the form of fraudulent reservations .

[Younus Bhat @YBhat88484]

@JKSSB2026 They will then have to file review petition or fule an appeal which in both cases is a tike consuming process . This will only stall the process.
