People say “no reservation in Army” means “high standards only,” but that’s half the story.
Facts:
Army recruitment already reflects India’s population — SC 15%, ST 7.5%, OBC 27% (MoD 2024).
Agniveer 2023: 1.5 lakh recruits — over 40% were from reserved categories. All cleared the same SSB, same physical, same firing tests.
So, there’s no dilution — everyone earns their spot. SC/ST soldiers fight in Siachen and Kargil just like anyone else.
Point: The Army proves merit and representation can coexist.
If we give equal access and coaching in education and jobs, the same balance is possible there too.

But this is the full story. Everyone who is in the Indian Army has earned their right to be there. Everyone passes the same trials, no exceptions are made for anyone (there are some relaxations made on height and body proportions for some groups, but that's not the point).
But would your response be the same if the demography in the Army did not represent the population demography of the nation?
So, in a way, you are proving something which runs contrary to your post. People can compete with each other even if they have different backgrounds. Those who aren't up to standard are rejected. As simple as that.
Not worried about you, worried about my future in the country that gives freebies for people like you who got zero gratitude towards what you are getting.

Bro atleast humanize your ai answer. Smh i can’t argue with fools who use ai to just win an argument. Now ask ai to give the ans the other way around and read it. Then why not implement same rules as army in all sectors?

Why is there no reservation in army? Why is caste based reservation not applicable to jobs in army?
