Anju, my attempt to answer your questions. Answers in bold.
Who would get the benefit of reservations?
Answer: Jats from towns and cities who are relatively well-off, Jats whose land has been acquired and who have got good compensation. Who have had the resources to send their children to private schools. These "more fortunate" kids would get more freedom to have fun (read awaragardi) as they would know that they have a special boon of reservation and hence they need not work hard. But yes, they would definitely benefit as they would have to struggle even lesser in life than they are doing now. But how they would benefit the wider society (read family, community, nation, etc.) or indeed themselves by realising their true potential is a trivial question that we must ignore in this worthy battle for reservation, which is indeed our birth right.
Those who would have made it on their own without reservations in general category would feel compelled to apply via the reserved category (Yeah, I hear arguments about how they should still apply via general category, but here is a breaking news- that is not how human nature works! When you set the bar lower, almost everyone aims lower. And this debate is anyways not for those who don't care where the bar is but are intent on excelling). And these people, who would have anyways made it, would now enter these jobs/educational institutes with the reservation tag- not everyone appreciates the extent of reverse discrimination (well, not a good thing, but it is there) in the system against those from reserved categories.
Would it be the jat population from the villages? People who do not have resources to even reach that stage where they can be eligible for reservation in a professional college or a job?
Answer: Haha, you got to be kidding me! The point here is not the benefit of those who most need it. We are Jats, but we are also Indians. This is an exercise in national integration- we want to be firmly integrated with the Indian system. For 60 years, the reservation system has been abused by the haves in India, while the havenots have been told every 5 years in elections that this is what they must fight for. How can we be behind in this rat race? And it is a matter of pride- if meenas and yadavs can have it, then why not us? The way to prove our mettle is not to get medals in Olympics or battlefield or to excel in any other field, but to get the reservation which is our birth right. Yes, yes there is the small problem about our being Kshatriyas or Shudras. Indeed, our wiki page says that we are true blue blooded Aryans, and the purest of pure race. But let's ignore those claims for the time being, shall we? No war has been won without compromising on a few morals. There are several reports that cite Jats as actually shudras and we must use those in this struggle.
There are reserved seats for wards of ex-servicemen, freedom fighters...in the professional colleges.Who takes advantage of these seats? Is it our students from the villages?
Answer: Comeon, you are again trying to be clever with your uncomfortable questions. Let's be clear for once and all. Apart from those rare cases where some needy guy makes it against all odds (and which is repeated to make all of us feel good until there is a new example), the reservations don't really benefit the needy. They are not meant to. The needy masses are there to make up the numbers for a show of strength. So that we can have rallies and vote banks. Unlike you, these guys don't ask uncomfortable questions. You tell them X is for you guys. Y has it but doesn't want you to get it. It has them sufficiently worked up. Of course, if they had been clever like you, they would have figured out that this X/Y business keeps changing while nothing really changes for them. But fortunately they are not. Thank god for that!
Are the learned folks ready to sacrifice their reserved seat for their poor country/rural cousins?
Answer: Of course not! This is the most appalling suggestion I have ever heard. We are doing our bit by getting those guys reservations (sshhh, I know it is them and us both). Now it is upto them to use this privilege wisely. You can't expect us not to look after our own interests, once we have done our bit for the society. We might as well donate all our belongings to the charity.
Our economically disadvantaged villagers are being placed at the forefront in arguement for reservation, but are they the ones who would actually get the benefits?
Answer: I have had enough of this. You are really not taking this struggle in the spirit it is meant to be.
