Reservation War...

In my school days I learned 'Democracy' - Govt by the people, for the people and of the people... Now I feel we need to revise this definition 'Democracy' - Govt by a few politicians for the vote bank and of a few people..
Reservations in higher education ? Whatever happened to merit and secularism n all the buzzwords ?
There is an uproar from the youth, but does our voice count ?
Govt has already passed the bill, the PM says the matter is settled..
For people like me this means I am going to be stranger in my own land..At the first opportunity all those 'general category' people are going to run abroad now..
Did the PM talk of brain drain reversal sometime ago ?
An interesting point is the people against reservation are all young blood..
The pro-reservation movement is majorly by the parties with people who are in the not-so-young-to-b-affected age group..Ther's a solution the politicians have come up with - Increase the general seats..Are we equipped to do this ? Do we have the infrastructure ? Why not come up with institutions specially for the OBC's ? 100 % seats reserved for the OBC's !
I might get a comment here saying that I am putting up all this because I m a Brahmin..
Fair enough.. I never knew what caste category my friends came under, now i'll definitly be
interested in knowing what kind of seat have they got in with.. Till date I thought of CAT , now I am going to start thinking of GMAT..
Makes no diference now.. I will be a 'foreigner' anyways in both the places.. :)
The fire rages on.... Is the government really for n of the common people ?? I keep wondering....

Forward

Here's a good forward from my mailbox...

It makes sense..
ET has opened a debate on "Is Premji right to go against job quotas in Wipro?"
As expected most of the posts agree with him...
Here is someone who put his pt in a very diff way.. :))
I think we should have job reservations in all the fields. I completely support the PM and all the politicians for promoting this. Let's start the reservation with our cricket team. We should have 10 percent reservation for Muslims. 30 percent for OBC, SC/ST like that. Cricket rules should be modified accordingly. The boundary circle should be reduced for an SC/ST player. The four hit by an OBC player should be considered as a six and a six hit by a OBC player should be counted as 8 runs. An OBC player scoring 60 runs should be declared as a century.
We should influence ICC and make rules so that the pace bowlers like Shoaib Akhtar should not bowl fast balls to our OBC player. Bowlers should bowl maximum speed of 80 kilometer per hour to an OBC player. Any delivery above this speed should be made illegal.
Also we should have reservation in Olympics. In the 100 meters race, an OBC player should be given a gold medal if he runs 80 meters.
There can be reservation in Government jobs also. Let's recruit SC/ST and OBC pilots for aircrafts which are carrying the ministers and politicians (that can really help the country...)
Ensure that only SC/ST and OBC doctors do the operations for the ministers and other politicians. (Another way of saving the country...)
Let's be creative and think of ways and means to guide INDIA forward... Let's show the world that INDIA is a GREAT country. Let's be proud of being an INDIAN..
May the good breed of politicians like ARJUN SINGH long live...

So, what do you think, huh???
