Two comments from an article on CNN-IBN discussing the decision by the AIIMS students to
cancel parallel Out Patient Departments to counter the Govt's decision to reservations in '07:
A 10 yr formula failing even after 60 yrs comes to show that the assumptions are misconceived. The government’s move is draconian, regressive & development retarding. Merit is compromised for creating privileges for an influential section within the asking hands of the backward castes.
While many of my brotherhood cry & moan to deaf, autocratic ears, it is expected of the government to rethink on its approach. The current policy is divisive & does not achieve the primary purposes.
One is underprivileged not by the caste in which he/she is born but by what he is deprived of. The primer of the policy needs a revisit. The government will do good to:
1. enforce reservations at School levels (fundamental right to education)
2. Scholarship schemes & funds within Higher bodies of education to support underprivileged (Based on economic criteria)
3. Distribution of unutilized land for industry/cultivation
4. Micro finance institutions, NGOs to develop vocational skills, self employment
The meritorious people already pay their share due to progressive taxation.
The brains seek challenge and not decay in mediocrity. Let no one have discussions on talent pool drains in future.

(P.S: The title is pure wordplay. Poineer, Kenwood, types of stereos, stereotypes.. get it? *sigh* I always knew I couldn't do an Art Buchwald. Jokes apart, this is pretty much the only reference to reservations that you might find here. I consider myself uneducated when it comes to matters like this and though I really have strong opinions, my reasoning seems to be very flimsy and I refuse to be drawn into any argument where I'd be forced to concede solely because I am ill-informed! Or mebbe not. Let's see!)

One girl in my school made it to MAMC (the #2 Med school in Delhi) in the SC / ST quota. She was very privileged, from a strong financial and educational background, and definitely not deprived in any way!
I have always resented her since - she got undue advantage (not that I wanted to be a doctor!) and I feel discriminated against! Did she deserve to get admission in the quota?
Rajesh: Please read the "P.S"!
qs: We have seen similar cases. And am sure any pro-reservation advocate will have a strong argument, but one that is solely or mostly based on historical aspects of Indian society and the shackles placed on "lower castes" by the "higher castes". What is needed is an open discussion on the relevancies of this argument. I am sure that all the pro-reservation advocates will agree with what most of the anti-reservation advocate, i.e. a quota based on economics.

you are a brahmin. right??
guys born in a brahmin house, brought up in a brahmin house, lived with brahmin friends, ever interested in flying out, will speak like this.

When u r interested in fighting for seats in IIM, IIT's ... why dont u guys fight for other important areas of india's life.
1.) Military. (We can hav some reservation in indian military for FC's so taht indian army will have some tough, talented, guys...)(Everyone will fly off)
2.) Indian Public Toilets. (let them be cleaned by talented FC guys... )
You are living in a circle which is bordered by the word "Brahmins". When u come out of that, you will understand india. Not when u go out of india and talk about india.
Let the Hell live with u forever.
Dear friends !
petrol in pakistan is Rs 17 per liter
In malaysia Rs 18 Rs per liter
In India Rs 48 per liter
Why this difference in Asia it self ? World market CRUDE OIL IS NOT THE REASON FOR THIS. It's all gain for private owners ? As we are the general public,we have to raise our voice or at least let's raise thrugh E-mails,pl forward this information to all Indians who care.
It has been calculated that if every one did not purchase a drop of petrol for one day and all at the same time,oil companies would chock on stockpiles.
At the same time,it would hit the entire industry with a net loss of over 4.6 Billion Dollars, which affects the bottom lines of these oil companies.
Therefore 'THURSDAY SEPETEMBER 22 nd HAS BEEN FORMALLY DECLARED BY OUR PUBLIC 'STICK IT UP THEIR BEHIND'DAY AND THE PEOPLE OF INDIAN NATION SHOULD NOT BUY A SINGLE DROP OF PETROL THAT DAY.
The only way this can be done is if you forward this information to as many as you can and as quickly a syou can to get the word out. Waiting for the GOVERMENT to step in and control the prices is not going to happed,i thing every one know ..this what happend to the reduction and control in prices that the Arab Nations promised few weeks ago ?
Also we have to remember, not only is the price of petrol going up,but at the same time Airlines and Trucking companies are forced to increase their prices,which affect the prices of every thing that is shipped prices for things like food,clothing etc,too would increase.
We can make a difference,if they don't get the message after one day.we have to do it again and again.
Please do your part and spread the word and forward this information to all who you know.Mark your calendars and make SEPTEMBER 22 A DAY THAT THE INDIAN CITIZENS SAY 'ENOUGH IS ENOUGH'.
PL REMEMBER 22nd 2006

There was rally in Bangalore yesterday in which one of my friends participated. It was a protest against reservations. It lasted for osme 5 hours I heard. I wonder if such things will really make any difference though.
Looking for information and found it at this great site... »
