The Quota System

I have not posted anything for quite some time now, and I don't know if this absence will continue. In what I consider as my final post on this blog, I wish to address the discriminating quota system in the Sindh Province of Pakistan.


With its democratic rectification in 1973, the quota system was enforced for 25 years, creating an irrefutable divide between the rural and urban areas of the Sindh Province. Though the quota system aims to regulate equal representation in various regions of the province, it has polarized the territories instead. This problem emerges in Sindh only, as other provinces are not divided into urban and rural centers.

In the Sindh Province, quota system has destroyed competition and fairness in selection and slaughters merit, producing corrupt and ineffective offices. In a failed attempt to represent all, the quota system has worsened the ethnic divide, and refuses admittance of capable youngsters to government offices, especially from urban areas.

It is a common belief that the quota system targets to marginalize the youth of urban centers in Sindh and deprive them of economic and education chances. Not to mention the political manipulation of the system. The need is to look into this discriminating system to restore equal opportunities.
