I dont think Meira Kumar was considered for speakers post just because she is a female or a dalit leader. India has seen many dalit leaders thanks to the broadmindedness of people. You just cannot neglect dalits anymore. They must come up in life and must stand shoulder to shoulder with upper class.

Fiona LOBO , casteism has roots only in rural idia, most of urban population dont believe in cateism
CASTE AND RELIGION should not Criterion for selecting individual.

Casteism and Reservations will prevail in India **till** 85% of all registered marriages are inter-caste. Till then, Resistance is Futile.

Ms Lobo, good idealistic thinking. But, do you think that idealism matters in such choices?

I found Meira Kumar elevation as a convenience and a chance to accommodate sulking Mr.Jena, minister in UPA from Orissa and it is nothing to do with Cong-I love for SC/ST/BC/minorities welfare and empowerment.If Cong-I is really interested in empowerment let them offer PM gaddi to one of its SC/ ST/ BC/ minorities Memeber of parliament.Do the Cong-I high command has guts ????

No one is stopping dalits Ms Lobo...I have many dalit friends who are doing well in life. I fail to understand as to y dalits keep harping about what happened 5000 years ago??Do they expect Upper caste ppl to pay reparations for the mistreatment?? This sort of racist thinking on the part of dalits should go away.

rightwinger, it is the Cong-I party over 50 years of rule kept all the SC/ST/BC/ and minorities backward and used them as a big vote bank and cannon fodder to upset other rivals. It is not the question of 5000 years ago.
What's worng if your boss is a female ? Why cant you accept her as you boss when it comes to profession ? Please don't be narrow minded. We must encourage weaker sections to some up in life by giving them life lines.

Why do you want to bring less qualified people to higher positions through reservations.
Why cant merit prevail. Why should people with merit be deprived of opportunities just because of their gender.

see Indian has given 206 seats to cong and its their policy to whom they will take to front.
Its time to wait and watch how long this govt runs.

"We must encourage weaker sections to some up in life by giving them life lines. " Do you mean to promote less qualified people. Cant they work hard and achieve things.
So, now the circle is complete. Many of us would remember that in 1977 Babu Jagjivan Ram left Congress, formed the CFD (Congress for Democracy) and joined the Janata government. Later, in 1980, Jagjivan led the Janata campaign but lost the election against the Congress. Now, Jagjivan's daughter is chosen by the same Congress as the Lok Sabha speaker!! Politics, as they say, makes strange bedfellows, and even stranger equations!
Re: Then?
by Nagma on May 31, 2009 02:55 PM
Every politican who left the cong come back to cong again if they not get the entry then they send their daughter/son/grandson/nise and so on.
so the cong has only party known for "Family"
Now this matter is not having a great value that Ms. Meera Kumar is a woman and will hold the speaker post, rather than its a show biz for fool Indians who had selected this party.

Ravi we were told that this driver Jaffer Shariff owns large chunks of prime lands in and around banguluru city, is it true ?
Re: Re: Then?
by Haramohan Ray on May 31, 2009 02:43 PM
But I never suggested that Meera ditched in any way. I only said about the strange feature of politics and politicians.

Very good recap for first timers/youth voters like us.only few individuals benefitted from their caste or community tag not based on merits.It is really pathetic to see Cong-I kept these downtrodden people at low levels only and wrongly claim that they are 'empowering women"

Re: Re: Re: @Righty rightwinger

1.No different tax slabs 2. No seat reservation in buses. Old men/women & children can have some reservations.
Re: Re: Why is reservation needed for women...
by startraveller on May 31, 2009 02:23 PM
And about reservation in pvt sector. It will never happen. 100% sure of that.
