Then comes representation in the services. The general standard that we have accepted is that ordinarily competitive posts must go by merit and if we are to depart from this, the general administration would suffer immensely. It is well-known that since this departure has been introduced in the matter of services, our administration has suffered considerably. Now that we begin afresh, we must see that where we have to fill some administrative posts of a higher level, these posts have to be filled by competition, i.e. by competitive examination and competitive tests. We have made some concessions in the matter of certain communities. which require a little help.
EVEN SARDAR PATEL SAID IN
HIGHER POST THEIR SHOUD BE NO RESERVATION
RESERVATION WILL BE GOOD FOR POST OF CHAPRASI AND CLERK ONLY
Sardar patel on 14 october 1949
So far as the
Services are concerned, for all major posts or all posts which go by
competitive examinations there is no reservation on communal grounds. They go
to the Public Service Commission. You are quarrelling or asking for the
minor posts-Chaprasis and clerks
Is it the Sikh position
now that we have not got enough Sikh Chaprasis and clerks ? Are you going to
raise the community in that manner ? If that is so, tell me, and If you leave
what you have got for the Scheduled Castes, I shall persuade the Constituent
Assembly to give you what you want, but you will repent afterwards
26 MAY 1949 SARDAR PATEL
Unless you put blood into
its veins, even if we quarrel about concessions of reservation, we will get
nothing. We have to build up this country on solid foundations. As I told you,
I was trembling on the day I was appointed as Chairman of this Committee but I
felt proud and today also I feel proud-and I hope the House will feel
proud--that we are able to bring about almost unanimity in removing the past
blots in our Constitution (hear, hear) and to lay, with the grace of God and
with the blessings of the Almighty, the foundations of a true secular
democratic State, where everybody has equal chance. Let God give us the wisdom
and the courage to do the right thing to all manner of people. (Cheers).
26 may 1949
The Honourable Sardar Vallabhbhai J. Patel (Bombay: General):Sir, when I was first appointed Chairman of the Advisory Committee on Minorities, I really trembling and I took up the jobs with a heavy heart, because I felt the task was immensely difficult, owing to the history of the past so many years of foreign rule.
