Good one, but tell me my friend, in this country where youngsters have even forgotten our own history, where the uneducated & poor have no voice, who will read this brilliant article of yours and respond positively?
With all disgrace we have to accept that fact that today we live in India, India has a history of being looted and again history repeats itself, India is again crushed, this time it is our own greedy, dirty, useless politicians, it would not be a surprise if congress govt. one day amends the constitution and says since for centuries so called upper cast has dominated the so called lower cast hence people who are born to parents whom the government has declared upper cast should not live in India. How can anyone be punished for being born to some-one, what is our government trying to prove, it is now 57 yrs after independence, and people are now moving from backward class to most backward class.
Shame to all those people who voted for current government.
Whenever there is a cong govt. such issues come up again and again.Though BJP did support it but they too thought of the missing votes if they hadn't supported it.This makes me wonder whether we have place for another political party.I mean,every segment of the society is represented in the Parliament,but not the middle class.Now it is high time a party which looks after just the middle class comes into picture.We already have a 250 million strength of middle class.Even if 200 million support such a party,it would be a force to reckon with.And they wouldn't have to look over their shoulders for votes,as by bringing the middle class view-point into the picture they surely would have substantial power.Noone then would take us for granted.Otherwise there would be a country with minorities.I for one,considered myself a Hindu, although I am a Jain,but now I am having second thoughts.We jains who are just a fraction of the number of muslims, christians are surely a minority. So I am thinking of starting schools and taking over management of schools of my hindu friends.And if ny1 contends with it,i am ready to fight for a minority status of jains.I am sorry if things turned out like this.

Say KK, what about learning a bit of English before you barge into a college demanding to be taught engineering or medicine? See why we don't want you ruining India's reputation worldwide -- right before we are ready to break into superpowerhood?

Well, that is what you guys are all about. VOTES. You are nothing but obnoxious idiots threatening the whole fabric of our country with VOTES.
It is depressing how democracy is abused in the form of safeguarding the minority or backward. It is surprising economical strata of a person is not given any weightage and u cant expect any thing reasonable from this power hungry politicians whether we have a great economist as PM or a great scientist as President.

EXACTLY KK,
thaz what we are say... show them the power of dalit votes.
Do the reserved category actually believes that Arjun singh is doing them a favor????? Good lord please open their eyes for the ignorant dumbs cant see the future.
Dear KK, this is for your information and information of all . the reservation bill has already being passed in dec 2005. and guess what it has also being signed off in Jan 06 by our al mighty president. what arjun singh has done is triggered the implementation of bill for HIS own vested motives.
You talk about being oppressed for 2000years...amazing what else u doing now. You are doing the same. You are worried about the NRI brahmins who are paying rediff. I seriously pity you.
Dost RESERVATION is alm [ BHEEK bolte hai isse] may be the 2000 oppression has still got imbibed in your core that you cant survive without this BHEEK.

when a bill is not even passed you forward castes people more worried and are opposing it suddenly..what about the oppression others had all through this 2000 years and it is still continuing. I blame Rediff for continuosly posting Anti-reservation columns. Don't you have any dalit writers or columnists of depressed societies. may be you guys are making money out of brahmin NRIs but we have no technologies and no proper english and we don't have power to give our views in public but we will show it in VOTES. gudos to DPA.

Mr KK,
Why are you some much worried aout reservations, during my exams I used to worry about what all questions will be asked, and this worry only kept me ahead in my studies, looks like you people always worry, when would the quota be increased for you people.
Also.. just because some one harrased a community for 2000 years, you want the reservations for next 2000 years? Dont you think (sorry, I know you people dont have brains) 50-60 years were MORE than enough for quota?
Just try to work hard, you would enjoy the hard earned meal.
It is disgusting that the reservation bill passed. I am more worried about my childs education now a days. I dont fall in minority nor i have money to buy the expensive paid seats. So, my child will be deprived of Good education. huh!
Secularism and non-racist is a glossy picture painted by some bunch of pigs (sorry Pigs), called Politicians. More worse is mass follow them blindly or seeing their benefit over the wellbeing of country as a whole.
It added one more reason (out of thousands) why i would love to leave India. It is better to live as minority in other racist countries (like UK) than to live in a country like India, where although being a part of majority community you are deprived of basic rights. If you want to live here be in minority or in upper (wealthy) class. Mind it i am not against reservation. But a senseless logic for upliftment of minority is pathetic.
A reality is, a person from minority community takes the advantage of the concessions and lifts his standard of living. But after that, instead of allowing other person (from his community) to grow, he starts begging for his children under the reservations cover............
Thanks Mr. Subhash Kak for awakening the nation to get used to call a Spade a Spade , even if is not warranted for the time being as the latest Constitutional Amendment may create problems for the Generation next. Quote of late Martin is very relevant but the author has not elaborated the present day helpless Martin. Could we recall the Big Brother of 1984 of George Orwell? TV Kumar
This is once again worst example of our Indian politics where Vote bank is only thing for politician ,They have no vision for excellence of country education and if Private education sector is able to something thire own ,govt is trying to stop that also.
At one time there was a lot of thrust for privatisation. Now this looks like a step in the other direction. Why can't the government get it through their heads that they are not responsible for providing education or ensuring education beyond the primary level. The US has one of the best university systems in the world, and most of it is private. The Gov't can fund research, but not put riders on who should be educated. Those who are capable of being educated will merit it.
How about allowing money for questions for the MPs and discontinuing their facilities & pay packet from the government.This will save the country a lot of money and the market economy will prevail
