Quota the Other side of the story
by Major H.K.Rangachar(Retd) on May 27, 2006 05:11 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

On one Paragraph,I wd like to Comment.
Merit equals Captitatin fees & NRI Etc

1.Capitation fees is charged by Medical colleges run by Politicians or their Proxies.You must question the Rationale of sanctioning authorities,who are none other than these corrupt politicians.Classic example in Karnataka,there is a constant fight between the COMED & ppl in power.
2.Now days Banks are extremely Liberal in sanctioning Loans to students who wish to study abroad.Why OBC students are not availing such facilities.Can any one answer.Even engineering students take 15 Lakhs of Loan to do Masters in USA/UK.Nothing stops students to avail such facilities.
3.Coming to NRIs Paying Capitation fees,It is a sacrifice made by their Parents to educate their Sons/daughters.They hv struggled hard to pay for it.Apart from that who are the people who permitted to pay Capitation fees,It is our Beloved Politicians,who need Dollars for their Merry Go arround.
4.It is my sinciere plea to the students who are pro/anti reservations,Pl throw these dirty Politiians out incl so called Communists,because Country was moving fwd,they want to take it back,so that the can buy votes.Pl prevent selling Votes.

y attack the knowledge commission??? knowledge commission is a puppet in the hands of the government..if the verdict of the commision does not count ..then for wat the hell r they there..the commission rejected the quota proposal by 6-2 voting but still it is going to be implemented ...wat does it prove??? the commision is powerless ..its unfortunate that decisions on higher education are made by a 2/3 majority of MPs ..some of whom might not have a college degree ..such is the state of affairs in the country..wat the doctors r doing is absolutely rite ..the patients mite have to suffer temporarily for this ..but if the quota system comes into play tomorrow then the patients will have to suffer permanently of bad treatment..and then the future generations of the country r not going to forgive them for that .

Hello major,I am from a forward caste,but i feel that we are in this position becoz we have been arrogant for centuries,looked down upon lower castes,are we right in doin this.We have made fun of lower castes by protesting and how?selling bananas like hawkers and sweeping roads,why?becoz of our mindset,becoz of our arrogance.Brahmins are in a sorry state of affairs,i agree,but are they not to be blamed,they out arrogance,have for centuries heaped insults about our lower caste brethern.Are we upper caste the sole repository of knowledge and air conditioned comfort jobs,lets shed this arrogance,cummon wats wrong in a brahmin/uppercastes claning toilets/drains,are we not supposed to do this,many may ask will i be able to do this,my answer is lets all upper castes do it and firstly drop arrogance,which is the primary reason for this situation.The attitude of brahmins as mellowed down i agree,but guess,how for centuries they would have played truant with the caste tag they have.EVERY ACTION HAS A EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION.Lets make them lower castes more confident,let them also join the main stream,they will see reason over a period of time and reservation will one day cease to exist.
