In 2002, the government of the [same] State did NOT call army even after 2 days of rioting and several hundred deaths. Strangely, the then PM had also made similar inane noises about maintining peace. How can any state government which has the constitutional responsibility of law & order abdicate its responsibility of protecting its citizens? Are those at the helm of affairs NOT ever answerable to the law of land, the constitution and to the people who have voted them to 'power'?

Dear. If had called army there would not have nomoo .1500 innocent killed that is his plus point. 30% people voted for killing innocent.( only 50_% voted).
How long upper caste will suffer, they are suffering from 1950 onward and a good % they have who are below poverty line. In reserved class, even judges, IAS, senior officers are not ready to give up benefit of reservation purely based on caste, what to do? How long this prejudiced democratic norm will continue. We have full sympathy for all those who are really needy, deprived but not for any elite employee who is snatching the rights of other needy. Will present Govt. be dare enough to take correction.

The dalits and untouchables have been suffering for centuries. The UN and human rights commisions have condemned India for human rights violations against the dalits.
The genuine obc's and dalits have become maoists in different parts of India due to oppression and waging guerrila warfare against Indian forces.
The dalits and genuine obc's need reservations to ensure they are materially empowered to compensate fore centuries of oppression.

One way to combat the exploitation of caste reservations by the affluent is strict investigations by commissions to study whether the said obc's or sc's are affluent or not, and not in need of reservations.
This can get rid of exploition of the reservation system and channeling the resources to those who genuinely need it.
This will help to get rid of much of the injustice in the system.
Most of NRIs and industralist are from Patel community. It sad to see youth getting misguided and protesting. It is like father of family is protesting for his rights. When country and our govt. is facing enough of problems from opposition and neighbours, and it is too much at this point. Hope Patel NRIs and likeminded people in patel community should condemn it.
