Read the passage below and anser the following questions
The first theme is the idea of reservation and its relationship to the idea of India. As an idea, reservation predates the nation - it was meant to repudiate the religiously sanctioned apartheid and oppression of caste society, and to establish the community of formal equals that is a precondition for nationhood. This dimension of reservation has been forgotten, and today it is understood more as a means for redressing caste-linked discrimination and backwardness, and for enabling the inclusion of hitherto excluded and under-represented groups. On none of these grounds do the X group qualify for reservation, and they know this. The fact that they are asking for it nevertheless indicates that their idea of reservation is quite different.
What is the most logical, rational and crucial message that is implied in the above passage?
Reservation should be granted to all those who ask for it, irrespective of their economic standing or caste.
The X community is a highly under- represented group in the Indian caste system and deserves reservation.
The reservation system was started to bring equality and not create disparity among the various socio-economic groups.
The concept and the definition of socially and economically backward community needs to be revised.
Option (a) contradicts the passage and can be ruled out immediately. Reservation was started for the under-represented and excluded communities; there is no information in the passage to suggest that the X community is either of those things. Thus, option (b) can be eliminated. Similarly, there is no information given in the passage to suggest that option (d) is being implied. The passage merely states that the X community’s idea of reservation differs from that of the country. It gives no suggestion as to what should be done about this. Only option (c) which states the genuine reason for creating reservation for certain communities can be said to be the most logical, rational and crucial message implied in the above passage. Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
