This one has been talked, written and loudly opposed by one and all....
Firstly, I am not against reservation... It has its benefits and necessities... In a society, where dalits are still raped/murdered/beaten up n what not, their social upliftment has a necessity... They need to get respectable place in the society at the higher posts. To be at a higher post, u need to be educated... So it is important to educate the socially backwards so that they can do justice to the 'higher posts' they occupy. We must realise that they are not born to clean our waste.... But was 25% not good enough??
Marwaris are OBC's in Bihar.... Brahmins are OBC's in Rajasthan.... There are many such examples... I happen to be a Marwari from Bihar. Do Marwaris need any special status anywhere in the world... There is only one answer.. NO.
Is 50% of India deprived of basics?? Should reservation not be on the basis of Income rather than Caste? At the time when India should move ahead of the old 'voter appeasing' mode, the direction is totally wrong.... The man who took India under the path of reforms is now pressing the reverse gear.... Instead of bringing in reservation on the basis on incomes and doing away with the current reservation system, the HRD ministry has done the opposite...
Some people argue that reservation on the basis of income will give businessmen a huge undue advantage. Fully agreed. But the problem here with the Tax department and not with the idea itself.
What is indeed very striking is the fact that when women;s reservation bill has not materialised in even 10 years, this one seems to be moving faster than rocket.
When there is a urgent need to get more engineering, management & medical colleges, the good ones are being forced to death... When India seems to be pulling its head above the rest in the world after 300 years, it is our own Netas and their Mandal/Kamandal politics that is trying to push India back to where the British Raj had pushed us.
I just have one phrase for the netas... F*** yourself. Its high time that we stop begging. Rise to the occasion and use whatever media u can to stop this kind of rascalism from harming both our country and us.
Here are the links that you can use.... the other online forums I guess aren't as effective...
