If we want to be one family, there shouldn't be castism. Can that happen in India? India cannot exist without quota system and pleasing the minorities.So what statement our PM has given is "utter rubbish". We cannot stay as one family....
PM's statement sounds good. But the ground realties are different.
It is the same Prime Minister who is hell bent in dividing the society by introducing vote catching schemes like quota, reservations, minority, majority, etc.
To build a united India and a strong India, we must give up the Vote catching gimmicks and focus on uplifting the living conditions of all deprived sections of the society, irrespective of caste, creed, religion, etc.
Hope good sense will prevail over the Intellectuals of the nation.
Really, Dr. Singh !! How interesting. But a family where most resources are reserved for some children only ? Where all are not treated equally ? Where the members are divided and identified and classified on their birthmaks?
Where those members closest to the matriarch or patriarch are considered privileged ? A family where everything is there in writing in rule books, but rarely put into practice ? Where those shouting most hoarsely are rewarded with alacrity ?
Why make these pious statements ? Be more inspiring, and above all, DO MEAN WHAT YOU SAY.
If the whole world is one family, then what for did you sign the reservations bill and did things like Sachar committee. You are doing things which will put us behind by another 100 years and not take us to 21st century. This kind of a thing never happens in China or any place where true democracy exists. Benefits should be given to those who are underpriviledged and deserve not based on caste and religious grounds...as simple as that. If you truly believe in this, then Mr.Prime Minister should have the guts to act on it, keeping aside your political ambitions. At the end of the day you are only proving to be a Politician and I am afraid Indians are losing respect for you and your academics. Please do not divide the country any more.
