The question that started it all..

A Nation full of reservation...???

Reservation of what kind??...u might wanna ask...!The one that doesnt really help anybody. One that increases the very divide manifold...the one it’s designed to bridge.Okay bare facts first, the very stuff we are not able to push down our throats...for quite sum time now.

-->Increase OBC quota to 48-50 % from current 22.5 %.

Now I can write here a billion reasons, as to why this is a preposterous idea and why it just so bereft of all LOGIC known to mankind. Instead I want you guy's (each one of you), to read the web link below (interview with Mr Arjun singh.)

http://www.ibnlive.com/news/decision-on-quota-is-final-the-chapter-is-closed/11063-4-single.html

The minister here has said in clear words.... the government body (read cabinet and the parliament) responsible for this decision, wants to remain anonymous. (read ...Nobody wants to be the fall guy here ! but each one of them supports it.) As it clearly shows, they haven’t really put much thought into.... this decision was one made in haste, with the view of getting a clear mandate in the forthcoming election.

Acc to Arjun Singh, It doesn’t matter, what the figures are and what they say...It just a DONE thing!

I actually for once, truly feel the need to bring the house DOWN! I mean..have the parliament dissolved midsession....Coz for once ...enough is ENOUGH ! These bunch of illiterate politicians are seriously NO GOOD, jeopardizing the fate of lakhs of students in INDIA, who will make up to be our greatest resource in our coming years. The fact that all parties are in it.... even dissolving the parliament and going for a re-poll doesn’t help here, so we might as well go in for the president's rule.

For once let's just go the entire distance... and get rid of reservations. I don’t agree with them anymore.... not at 27 %.....and no way in heaven or hell ... at freaking 50%. I’m done playing this game....its gotta be MERIT and nothing but MERIT. I never got into IIT...simply coz I didn’t clear the paper.... but I didn’t expect them to lower the bar for me.... its time my SC/ST/OBC frds learn to live by the same law of the land... which is common to all...across religions/ faiths/ beliefs/regions and most importantly CASTE !

It is this country’s literate middle class who will be worst hit by this policy and it is this very burgeoning literate middle class, which is expected to help India be the next Asian superpower. It makes one wonder.. Are they dumb enough to not understand, the implications of their decision.

I for once believe.... we as nation, have taken quite a lot of crap from the government and its policies for 50 yrs.First Mandal commission.........resulted in a larger number of deaths(read self immolation) among youth and now Mandal part 2...we have hunger strikes going on all over the country.

At this point in time...I just have one question for Mr Prime Minister..are we going to wait yet again, for sumone to die because of hunger strike or self immolation ?? (As I write this.....word's already out, that one doctor from AIIMS...SUBHASH SRIVASTAV...has died of hunger...reports unconfirmed.)

If you ask me.... It’s Time.... Its Time NOW!....Time to stand up...Time for 'US' the real people to wage a war....before we end up being victims...simply coz we weren’t UNITED in our common cause.If you’re still not convinced and believe that..." Naaah! It doesn’t affect me.... I’m done with my education!".... Think again !!

Dude...check out the web link below. ...government has chosen to give India Inc. a period of 2 yrs so that accept the quota hike and implement it in the private sector as well.

(PS: What I cant fathom...most is... how easily the press and the channels have been 'gagged' on this very issue! None of the channels are covering the strike...LIVE. To top it all sum just dont give a damn about it...STAR NEWS hindi has BREAKING NEWS - "Rakhi sawant charged with obsecenity" ! .....What the F**K MAN.....!)
