Maharashtra: Woman Denied Job in Police Force

Thane Guardian Minister Ganesh Naik has asked officials to look into the complaint of a national wrestling and judo woman player, who was allegedly denied a job in the district police force.

Devki Devsingh Rajput (22) met Naik during his Janata Darbar here yesterday and informed him that despite being selected as a candidate under the sports category for a job with the Thane police commissionerate in 2011, she was not appointed.

Rajput said she was informed that as she did not have the requisite non-creamy layer certificate, her name was transferred from the sports quota to the general category.

However, when she was not called even after inclusion in the general category, she came to know that the cut-off for the general category was 162 marks and she had secured 147 marks in the examination for police recruitment.

The minister ordered the concerned officials to look into the complaint and also assured the woman that he would take up the matter with Thane Police Commissioner Kris Pal Raghuvanshi.

1. Sports quota candidates get preference on the basis of their sporting excellence which has nothing to do with other reservations. Hence, creamy layer does not apply.

2. If the lady was not eligible for sports quota consideration as per rules and does not belong to any other group entitled to relaxation of criteria, what is she complaining about? She didn't meet the cut off limit.

Here's an article criticising the US Marine Corps policy of relaxaing standards for women marines.

WHY should a woman be preferred in the police on the basis of her gender?

IS THIS NOT GENDER RACISM?
