The Reservation ghost is back

A dalit’s son in some remote part of India who does not have victuals for the next day’s meal is now going to benefited by receiving an IIM seat. How does the reasoning sound? If you agree with me that it’s weird.... congrats and thank god that unlike politicians, readers are sane people. This whole concept of reservation pisses me.... All thanks to Mr. VP Singh.

The ghost master is back. The initiator of Mandal politics, V P Singh is back with the reservation monster. V.P. Singh is now demanding 27 per cent reservation for backward classes in the IIMs and IITs and for scheduled caste and scheduled tribe youth in the private sector.

I have to ask this regarding reservations-

* Will granting of reservation solve our acute problem of poverty?

* Will it be able to boost the literacy rate?

* Can a backward class boy/ girl hope to study in premier institute with no food to eat?

* What will happen to all those students who have genuine

competence level to excel?

* Are we questioning the quality and caliber of OBC

students?

* Can our premier institutions retain their face value in

international platform in the post reservation scene?

Earlier, they said that religion is the last refuge for scoundrels. Today, scoundrels move to politics as well. Where are our ghost busters?

I have few suggestion for both people in favour and people in opposition of reservation policy .I would like to suggest Indian government to show the people the way by a.) Securing 49 % reservation for SC/ST in parliament.b )In the cabinet. c.) All Minsters(specially PM and Mr Arjun sing) should get treatment only from a doctor passed in quota that will give courage to others who are questioning the abilities of our brothers.

For the people questioning reservation i would like to tell you one thing , the best way to express yourself is VOTE.Speak the language the other understands.

I hope, all the students from india don’t be quite after a while. this should not happen. this reservation is the reason why students go to AUS, USA, London for higher studies and never come back to india.

Hi,
I have one other suggestions. We talk here, post our comments here. nothign is going to happen. good people are those you are actually are in india and protesting against this damn reservation. We should do something so that can get support and never stop this. 49 % reservation is a thing that we have to protest. but if we get success in that, why the hell we have 22 % reservation.
Do reservation. but not based on cast. based on financial status.
