America’s Reservation System: Rahul Gandhi, former president of India’s oldest party Congress, recently gave a statement on reservation in India during his US tour. BJP leaders criticized this statement of Rahul Gandhi. If we talk about reservation in India, then its story is more than 100 years old. From then till now the format of reservation has changed, the rules of reservation have changed. You must have seen protests taking place at many places regarding reservation every day. In such a situation, this question comes in the minds of people.
Is there a system of reservation only in India or do other countries of the world also make arrangements for reservation for the citizens of their states? Are people given reservation in America too? What is the basis of giving jobs in America? But if all these questions come to your mind too, then today we will give you answers to these questions.
Reservation is also given in America
America is one of the developed countries of the world. It would not be wrong to say that America is the most powerful and prosperous country in the world. Reservation in India keeps making headlines every day. Recently, when Congress leader Rahul Gandhi went to America, he also talked about reservation. Let us tell you that reservation is not only in India but also in other countries of the world. America is also included in this list.

However, the format of reservation in America is slightly different. In America, reservation is called affirmative action. It is not done on the basis of caste. Rather, extra numbers are given in many places to give equal opportunities to black people who face racial discrimination. Black artists working in the media sector and film industry in America are also given reservation.
There is no separate reservation for jobs
As we told you, reservation in America is called affirmative action. And this reservation is given to black people who have faced racial discrimination in different places for equal participation in the society. But the same is true if we talk about other jobs.
So there is no separate provision for such reservation. That is, in America, there is merit based selection. People who apply for a job, give a test for it. And after following the rest of the due process, people get jobs.
