From what she has observed of Dr Ambedkar, he is a man made from time and circumstances.
He is not much of a person who relies on ideology. But his ideas and methods to uplift the discriminated castes were damaging to the country even a century later.
He said in protest to the reservation structure in the Education system that I have mentioned.
"While I think reservation in education for the poor is good, we also need social justice. Reservation for lower caste and tribes is also necessary."
Saraswati responded, "I know where you are coming from. Before we discuss that, you also agree that descendants of people who benefited from reservation should not get reservation, right?"
"Of course. Though my idea was for reservations to exist only for 10 years, but this is also a good approach."
"Now, I am coming to your point.
You want reservations for Shudra caste and the various tribes. Because, many castes have suffered from caste system and untouchability. Why? Because the job turning into caste, and the flexible jobs according to skills becoming birth-decided by the society around the affected. Which only got worse as British looted us. A financially poor society leads to a socially poor society as well.
BUT, if you want to get reservations to the people you sympathise with, what's stopping others from demanding the same for the people they sympathise with?
There is a caste system in Islam as well. The Ahmedias suffer worse than untouchability. They are in constant fear of death-"
Maulana Azad stood up, "There is no casteism in Islam. Everyone is equal-"
"Every religion has casteism. Even castes have casteism within themselves. No religion teaches casteism.
Even the Uttarkand of Ramayan, is fake and was not written by Shri Valmiki, the author.
Religion teaches to respect every job, because we can't function without various people doing various kinds of jobs. It's people that interpret things for their own agenda to establish themselves in higher heirarchy by kicking others to the bottom.
Anyway, back to the topic.
Shudras suffered. So they demand reservation.
Every non-muslim, especially Brahmins were the lower caste in Islamic kingdoms. So they will also demand reservation. Remember Jizya?
Two of the Sikh gurus were murdered by Mughals. They were treated as bad as Hindus. So they will also demand reservation.
For extended amount of times, centuries to be exact, every community has suffered. And is still suffering.
But, it doesn't mean that this should kill merit and people who are actually good at something not getting any chance at all.
15% reservation from Middle school to UG courses is enough."
"But-"
"Aren't you being casteist Ambedkar ji? Just because someone is not born a Shudra or in a tribe, they should lose seats in school and college? In the process of fighting something, you shouldn't become the same thing you are fighting against."
BR Ambedkar was now furious.
"Just because someone has money doesn't mean that they have respect-"
"Why do you want respect from someone that doesn't respect you? I received multiple death and rape threats because I left Islam. I am only present here, because I have money. A whole lot of money. Do you see me crying about my community getting reservation!?"
The noisy parliament with many people shouting turned silent.
"In the end, money is everything! You want to end caste system by establishing a rigid systematic caste system!
You are only making things worse!
What do you think will happen!?
First SC, then ST, then one politician will decide that to get votes, my community should get privileges of reservation too. They will want majority votes, so they will include majority of communities.
OBC.
Then some other one will realise that hey, my ancestors from this year BC to this year AD suffered a lot. My community should also get reservation!
Bit by bit, more than 50% seats will be decided by your caste.
Then when some community doesn't get reservation, they will start riots!
You know what will happen to the person who is getting reservation?
They will be disrespected even more! A struggling person who had to struggle a million times more just because they were born into a caste will obviously feel jealous and hatred for someone who got into the position with less marks just by being born into another community!
Because you know what, aside from some 0.1% of the population, everyone is dirt poor! They all are struggling to survive day by day! This is not some 'MY PAIN IS GREATER THAN YOURS!' bullshit!
You know what?
I changed my name to whatever I liked.
Saraswati because I want to be able to be even 1% like Goddess Saraswati.
Singh because it is one of the most common surname, and because I have the pride of a lion.
You don't like how your surname makes others treat you? Change your surname to Singh or whatever you like.
We literally have an example where the caste system more rigid than ours slowly disappeared!
The British!
What do you think Carpenter, Butler, Tailor, and such surnames referred to!?
All those who are trying to establish systematic caste system, you all will be responsible. I won't allow such destructive descrimination until I am alive.
I am going on a no-water and food strike unless you guys stop with your dividing politics. I am sick and tired of you all trying to get privileges for your religion, your so-called caste, anything just to further your agenda.
This is India. Everyone will only get equal rights and responsibilities."
Saraswati's anger had reached her peak with the constant yelling in the background that she was filtering out, and these utter idiots and scumbags focusing on stupid things instead of focusing on important things.
Because of politicians like these and their discriminating laws, she had to kill herself in her previous life.
Though she hates Gandhi, she is not going to shy away from using his methods.
She threw the printout of the draft on the table and left the parliament.
