Are we moving forward or back? The days of ‘Divide and Rule’ are back or what? Has quality been compromised for votebank politics? Would Equality be achieved? Would my country gain from this? Would the youth rise? Is reservation the right tool? What is the future? Would we be able to solve this conundrum ever???????
All these questions have come to my mind and I am sure to many minds in recent days over the Quota Muddle.
The much awaited Supreme Court judgement on OBC reservation has arrived.
Keypoints---> 27% reservation upheld and ‘Creamy Layer’ to be kept out.This makes it 49.5% reservation after including SC/ST’s .
At first look it seems to be a judgement that has taken the middle path.Nice word…nice word…Creamy Layer……nice……so the Court (with due respect) thinks that Economically forward people among OBC’s don’t deserve this reservation thing….really appreciated....BUT!!!!….If that is the case then why bring caste to it.Does being from a particular caste or religion mean that the person is poor or rich??? If economic status is the criterion then what is the need to bring in the caste.Give reservation to the poor and no one complains.BUT!!!…again this but……when would this nation realize???.(Note the definition of Creamy Layer might be changed soon as per the wishes of political parties from 2.5 lakh limit right now to……)
When I went with my friends as part of ‘Youth For Equality’ in a rally and later to PGI where doctors were on hunger strike last year…I had seen hope….hope in the eyes of my friends that at least the Judiciary in this country cares….BUT!!! I must say there is disappointment now.I have nothing against anyone but how can a census done in 1931 be the basis of judging such an important issue.If the government really wants to do something for the people of this country then it should invest its energy and resources on the primary education.If resevation was a solution then the list of OBCs and other categories that need to be given reservation would have shrunk now instead of remaining the same.
This thing has given only a fillip to the parties like MNS which has demanded reservations for Maharashtrians in the jobs,dividing Indians into North and South.Tomorrow you would see Quotas on the basis of caste in private sector jobs as well and a day would arrive when the cricket team of this country would have a quota too!!!!
When would this word 'Reservation' go.Its hurting this country big time….

To put what samir has said more eloquently, fcuk reservations! :)
Yes..you should not contemplate more on this...that is the answer to your questions..You just think for yourself right now..when you have power you might be able to change something..Its good to express yourself but actions speak louder than words.
