Are you going to VOTE this time ?
by Pradeep on Apr 01, 2009 06:27 PM

I am going to vote this time as I have decided to contribute from my side to choose a better candidate rather then leaving it on procured/illegal voters taking out goons in politics who are making me sick of this politics. I will try to change it by using my vote. What about you ? Can we all, who are educated decide to vote to make a difference?

I think we should have 100% reservation, so that we can close the business called INDIA -- ASAP.

reservation has proven to be a failed poicy!
by Grizzly on Apr 01, 2009 05:12 PM  | Hide replies

We know that after decades of reservations, not much has changed in India for the poor! All this drama of reservations was created by VP Singh to win votes.

What has changed for poor people? Nothing! Reservations only take one person's job and gives it to another. That does not eliminate poverty or injustice!

People need to realise that unless we create equal conditions for everyone, we will all suffer under these crooked politicians.

Correct your facts. The reservation system was not envisaged as poverty eradication tool but to provide equitable representation (of all castes) in education, bureaucracy, legislation and economy.

better u correct ur facts. Reservation is ment to polarise the society on caste line and use them as votebanks. It has benifited only shameless rich people who misuse it by showing their caste certificate.

Good one for April fool's day. As if the society was not polarised on caste lines and no discrimination exist based on caste. U r trying to fool others or urself?

Yes, it has benefitted mostly the better-off among the underprevilieged castes and that need to be addressed.

Caste by birth is fraud
by Mind Clear on Apr 01, 2009 04:15 PM  | Hide replies

America has overcome its racist past, Hindus will also overcome their distorted casteist past. Lot of recovery has already happened with education, urbanization, modernization and professionalism. One needs to have the ability of all castes to succeed in Life - Thinker (Bramhin), Protector (Kshatriya), Economist (Vaishya) and a Skilled Worker (Shudra). Hence, talking about reservation based on caste by birth is fraud and waste of time unless it has some economic basis. In the 21st century, success is all about performance and productivity for inner fulfillment. Hence, either perform or perish.

Good.

But I am sure there are millions like me who will prefer to marry within our caste only. And there is nothing wrong in it. My caste is an integral part of my heritage and identity.

(I would love to see the pseudo seculars and neo-liberals rant and rave over this)

Nothing wrong about marrying within your caste/ language/ religion. That is perfectly within your right. It worked for 5000 years for HINDUS1, and I fail to see why the sickular people want to destroy whatever traditions one holds.

I think holding 27% for SC/ST is also insulting to these people- it basically says that you SC/ST people just can't compete with us!

Reservation with caveat
by bakbakkarthahoon on Apr 01, 2009 03:49 PM  | Hide replies

If anybody wanted reservation, their certificate and practising licenses (for professionals) should clearly specify in bold "Educated and licensed through quota system".

Will they accept to exhibit this fact?

Precisely. I think soon the reverse will take place.

"Educated and licensed from general category" This should also serve the purpose.

While i was doing CA one of OBC joined the firm and told me that his brother had to close his practice as Doctor as no body was willing to come to him for treatment as they knew this capabilites. ultimately the guy joined government service anain on reservation basis . you can now know why govt docotra are notorious.

Gazzatte.

For your kind information, one need not be a Brahmin to wear tikka and do regular poojas. It is a sign of being a proud and good Hindu.

True. Even within some communities, they have divisions, like the Reddiars, Mudaliars in Tamil Nadu. Unfortunately, most of them call themselves backward and enjoy reservation. Poojas anyone can do, Tilak or Tikka anyone can have. It is not only Brahmins who do Pooja.

You are for sure living in fool's paradise. Any provision regarding reservation (whether certificate declaring education under quota or providing quota in educational inst.) requires strength at Parliament. Unfortunately, number is not on your side, otherwise you could have prevented the implementation of reservation system.

It is a right of a consumer to know where products are manufactured, the ingredients in the products, date of manufacture, expiry date, batch no., MRP, taxes. For some products you also have to highlight all warnings, eg. bad for kids under 2, smoking hazards, sideeffects of medicines, warranties etc.

When for a Rs 2 Aspirin, or a Rs 50 Shampoo, or a few thousands for TV, Hotels, airtickets, banking, credit cards etc. everything is declared by law, why not for every person the same pitfalls are not declared, whether he is Doctor, Planned approved by engineers / architects, government officials you are dealing with.
I think it is our right to know the person who we are dealing with is "Educated and licensed through quota system".
