but people from reserved category who could compete on "merit" with general category would prefer/and would be allowed a seat in general category,
so that their reserved category brethren can get a seat in their respective quota.
Note : If total number of persons to be sent are 10, then as 2.7 persons is not a possible number so it will be rounded off to next multiple of five ( dont ask me why NOT 3, if they knew maths, they would have got a seat on merit itself :D ).
And in the rounding off procedure the seats required for roundoff would be deducted from required ( i mean general ) category.
All the people applying through general category should be more qualified than required for the mission, because apart from doing their own work, they will have to do their reserved category fellow "tourists" share of work as well.
All people applying though general category would be tested for their patience level, so that you can have the capability to take the crap from your reserved counter parts.
Upon successful return from mission, a general category person's performance will be considered at par with fellow reserved one, even if the later did not do anything except taking pics for their kids.
In case mission fails, the blame goes to general category persons, and if people on board loose life, then reserved category ones will be paid more compensation than general ones, because general ones do not need m

This is not fair - Why did you forget our Dalit-Christans and Dalit- Muslims. Please include them also. They changed their religon for better living, financial conditions, but they still proud Dalits. They want best of both - Dalit facilites and religious freedom.

because general ones do not need money, remember all general category ones are rich.
also the blame goes to general category, because past 5000 thousands years general category ones have been exploiting the reserved category. so its their fault, and the blame has to be 100% taken by general ones.
It is good news with a caveat. There will be a quota system implemented. Percentage is being worked out taking into consideration future political situation. Mr. Arjun Singh is spearheading the efforts.
While you guys were busy working, I already worked on quota statistics, I used method of extrapolations. ( reserved category people, please do not bother to ask me what is extrapolation, you will never understand.)
But I am sure, our politicians will come up with some other numbers, and they will use "method of vote bank exploitations" ( sorry quota folks, you wont understand this method as well, unless our india is fully screwed )

Pandu's message was excellent, I was at work and could not stop laughing. Yeah, people who would board the capsule can be from quota, but if the capsule is made through quota scientists then I doubt they would return safely.
any ways there is quota for that too and Sonia will also work out some statistics

Certainly consider quota in the office in the earth. For moon quota, not that much advanced yet. stay tuned...
30% people of India think thrice to take a bus to their neihboring town. 30% people of India do not have proper housing. 50% people of India do not have access to proper sanitation. 35% people of India do not have access to health care. what benefit will the spending on the Mars will derive for these poor people and for the tax payers. Why can't such money be diverted to the uplift the facilities for the people?
It's okay to build satalites etc., Do we really need to know what is going on in Mars or on Moon????

Wake up guys. Try to know how the space research helps the mankind. Then comment on this. Until then keep your mouths shut.
US does all these things as they are developed and nothing more to do in their land so spending money on an alien mission. What the Heck has India did on its land. People are starving and without homes . Do this first and then spend on Moon or mars or even neptune.

People like you cried foul when on May 11th 1998 India did nuclear test, people like you told when people do not have food, how can we afford to have nuclear test, how can we afford to have sanctions put on India.
Now in less than 10 years, India is accepted as nuclear state, India got a deal from US, look at our neihgbour pakistan. they have been begging for the similar deal from US.
So stop crying over poverty and all, those who use their brain never remain poor, only lazy buffs remain poor...
so lets work hard to build our nation.. and lets try to go to neptune as well..

US is a developed nation, but it doesn't mean there is no poverty in US. There are millions of poor people here in US. Now, stop being a neo-socialist nut. Eventually, these missions are good for India and it's people. India has one of the best and most ambitious space programs in the world. It will become a very profitable business and generate lots of funds for India, which could be used to help poor.

Being a developed nation and being poor are 2 different things. Poor in developed nation are lazy people. Poor in Developing nations is either Lazy people or unfortunate people. In India we don%u2019t have opportunities for everyone. I agree with Aswin. Manned mission to moon has fewer benefits. It doesn%u2019t attract any additional revenue which can be used by other industries.
