If anyone needs reservation, it has to be our brothers/ sisters back in our hatties who lack the financial resources/ exposure. IMO, it may amount to misuse if a well-to-do badaga guy/girl availed reservation.

Almost all of them had a decent financial/social background.Īnd as far as I have seen in Bangalore/Karnataka, I think the situation is the same here. Moreover, I didn't think any of the few badagas we knew there really deserved reservation. There is no reservation for Badagas there either. HOPE FOR THE BEST, PREPARE FOR THE WORST. I have been in bangalore all my life and did my complete education here thru general category.Ĭaste based reservations shud not be a reason. Lets JOIN TOGETHER and ACT for the welfare of the Badaga Community before it is too late It is not easy to get the tag of a backward community when we are no political force there.īy the way we are capable of gettomg admissions without the tag and we should not get bogged down by the tag I have been brought up entirely in Karnataka and have never used the certificate of backward caste since our community is not in big numbers in Karnataka. With more and more of our people likely to settle here in the near future, this issue should be taken up on priority. The reason can only be attributed to ignorance of the government authorities(as in most cases) or indifference on the part of our Badaga associations. When most other communities(he mentioned a few) in Karnataka are recognised in Tamilnadu(and vice-versa) under the appropriate/ relevant categories, why is our community not in the BC list? This clearly puts them at a disadvantage. What this means is that his children will have to secure admissions in colleges(starts from PUC) under the open category. Infact, it is not mentioned under any of the categories. Recently, one of my relatives, who has been living in Bangalore for many years, said that our community's name is not in the list of communities under the BC category.
