An argument over a beer is the best thing possible to reveal me with the on-goin cyclone inside my head, when the topic of discussion is not for the sake of it but firmly believed by both the sides its even better. Today, after the good old MCC days, had a good conversation with my friend when we both were high the rasta style and on beers. 'RESERVATIONS' was the key word, with him totally against granting it and protesting with the rest, in places all over the capital. Will it help or not is not the question neither is the awareness of the percentage of people participating in it, the question or rather the solution we have to grant is the ALTERNATIVE. Claiming to divide the country into various economic classes is not practical in a country like ours. With the public servants as the final authority and their crave for monetory authority by hook or crook, with no transparency in the ways and means of their working it is next to impossible to start a herculian task as talked about. Well then comes the accusation of being laid back and not concerned thrown back but can u actually keep at stake the future of thousands of our youth to experiment with something as uncertain as the economic class division??? Apart from the no-solution ground, to ponder upon its been our ancestors who suppressed these classes and gave them no oppurtunity now if we have to suffer a bit and uplift them wats wrong?? We can't pick up examples of the miniscule percentage of the backward class people who are living a good life today and enjoying the quotas too, we have to take into consideration the majority of the backward class people who are living much below the poverty line. In the general category when the oppurtunities given are equal why is there an economic divide, its because of the hardwork and human capital invested when one's given the chance to, and now just because one did not want to rise above the economic class he is in you want to give his next generation a special privelage to study?? There are infinite questions to be asked before one stands against the decision and protest day and night.......
P.S. Raghu stop being jealous of the few backward class people ( i know, you know some of them to defend your case) living a luxurious life and still enjoying the quotas and start living in the world where 'survival of the fitest' sounds perfect.

hmmm..well...though ur blog is awesum it does not convince me like many others, who have to face the other side of the reservation programme.It is true that many people who belong to the lower castes fall under the poverty line, not all of them are hardworkers.A student who works hard throughout the year and scores 85% belonging to the FC caste will easily lose the seat to a lower caste gettin nothin more than a 60%.Thus due to this the performance level of the college too goes down.Parents imagine bright futures for their kids and the kids in turn work hard to give up a seat to a person who does not deserve it??Unless someone actually faces such a situation, where the future becomes uncertain because of the reservation, one will not understand the other side of the story.
Has anyone noticed that only you jokers from North India are creating a ruckus about the whole reservation thing? (Not you Aashim, just the commenters on this post.)
This is a problem with attitude - do you people think that only kids who study in DPS and get coached in Aggarwal's have the right to study in IITs and AIIMS? Don't people from the south get in to these places? And just so you know, in the South 69% of the seats are reserved right from school.
All what is being said and the ruckus that is being created is bullshit. The fact is that the poor and the oppressed and the backwards society is very very badly represented and they need the support. And to say that the government is messing up the lives of all forward caste citizens is wrong. and yet if you think you are being made victims, you all should think of this as a payback in cosmic karma for all the wrongs that they faced from your hands in the millenia that have gone by.
who is gonna read those huuuuuge comments?
excuse me " Quincy the Quackpot"..wat do u mean by the statement.."a payback in cosmic karma for all the wrongs that they faced from your hands in the millenia that have gone by"???
hve my generation dun anythin rong tat we hve to suffer the quota system ??ok there shud be sum consideration for the backward classes but not on the expense of others.there shud be sum way outta this widout mkin it tough for us.
well abhinandan i totally support ur say on providing good primary education, but now tht in a country like ours where the funds r allocated for such a purpose but never made use of u think an economic divide can happen. the obc s to the extent they ve been exploited may not ve the oppurtunity to provide education to their coming generations.. 60 yrs has seen a slight improvement though not to the extent it should ve. the option of creatin an economic divide to provide qoutas is as corrupt or more than the caste division qoutas.
hey jana,
payback in cosmic karma, i was searchin the frame work of my argument.. cheers
country fellow there r ppl who r slightly intellectually inclined who might read these long comments if not u..
i whole-heartedly support my supporter
