Reservation for locals in Pvt Companies!

What are your thoughts on the reservation bill that the Karnataka cabinet, chaired by Karnataka CM, has approved? Do you think it will be passed by court or will be thrashed? What will this mean for the invested IT companies and employees already working here?

I guess there is already a precedence in north India of courts striking down reservations in private sector. So we might really not see this being implemented in Karnataka. Also Supreme Court is already hearing petitions of similar bills passed by Haryana and Andhra Pradesh govt. So this will just get added to that list and will not be implemented until Supreme Court decides on it.

I feel it's unreasonable to require MNCs to disclose the number of their employees who are Kannadigas and to prioritize Kannadigas for employment. Such policies seem to be attempting to introduce reservation concepts into sectors like IT, which have traditionally operated on merit-based principles. Implementing such policies may breed resentment against the state and its communities. These measures could also raise doubts among investors about the viability of investing in a state with such regulations. Growing up, Bangalore was renowned for its welcoming people, pleasant weather, and thriving IT sector. However, with increasing instances of hooliganism and policies like these, Bangalore risks losing its appeal, leaving only its pleasant weather. As for my own background, my father is Kannadiga and my mother is Tamilian. Should my company consider me a Kannadiga?

Is this true? Does it mean all non locals working there will be removed? How would it play out? What are your thoughts?

- The Karnataka government's decision to reserve private sector jobs for locals has been met with strong opposition from industry leaders, who argue it will deter talent and investment. - The draft bill mandates 50% of management jobs and 70% of non-management roles be reserved for locals, with a 100% quota for Kannadigas in Group C and D jobs. - Critics, including Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw and TV Mohandas Pai, warn the bill could harm Karnataka's tech hub status and violate constitutional rights. - Legal experts and industry veterans highlight the potential for businesses to relocate due to the restrictive measures, urging investment in education and upskilling instead. - Pro-Kannada organizations support the bill, believing it will create more job opportunities for locals, while the bill awaits legislative approval.

Is the karnataka gov knowingly creating a rift between kannadigas and non kannadigas for political gains ?. Politicians tactically divert the attention of the public, no one questions high cost of living, poor infrastructure, high cost of primary education etc. The day people ask the right questions, india will grow exponentially
