Reservation has been one of the most debated issues in India since independence. It was introduced to uplift historically marginalised communities by giving them fair chances in education, jobs, and politics. The idea was simple: to correct centuries of injustice and ensure representation for those who had been kept out of opportunities. Over the years, reservation has indeed helped many. For countless families from Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and Other Backward Classes (OBCs), it has opened doors to colleges, secure jobs, and social mobility that once seemed impossible. But today, a new question often arises. Does reservation still…

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has firmly stated in the Lok Sabha that the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) will not be restored for central government employees. Responding to growing demands from unions and state governments, the minister emphasised that OPS creates an unsustainable fiscal burden and reintroduction is “simply not possible.” Why OPS Was Scrapped The Old Pension Scheme guaranteed lifelong pensions to government employees, typically 50% of the last drawn salary with dearness relief, fully funded by taxpayers. While this gave employees certainty, the ever-rising costs made it fiscally challenging. With more employees retiring and living longer, pension bills ballooned,…

But if there’s one thing that stands out in this democratic celebration, it is the stark difference in how urban and rural voters think and decide.
