Gujjar- Go-Cow, Char-Herd/Feed. This community, is typically a feudal North Indian community like Jats, Yadavs etc. This community has historically had large landholdings, all through the ages. They had cows numbering 100s per family, with the richer ones having lakhs!! That they didnot build upon this illgotten wealth, which they procured when they attacked India is a fact. But this is not because they did not want the burden of knowledge. Till the time they could get by, they did not want to tax their brain. Then came communities, more powerful than them into India. First the Huns, (Who are the Punjabi Jutts), Pathan invaders, the English. Now, they are overwhelmed in the lands that these communities once ruled. The Punjabis dominate the economic landscape of Delhi, Haryana & UP. The army, which was earlier their refuge is dominated by Rajputs and Sikhs, Gurkhas. But this community is still, by no means poor! They still own & drive the largest number of buses, which run over people, Policemen who take bribes along with another Haryanvi community, Jats, and the people.......they dont love them. A large number of crimes & violent incidents involve this community. (They claim Gujarat is named after them). I am a Gujarati, but I can assure you one thing, I have nothing in common with "Gujjars".
One thing is assured though, this community will definitely be hurt badly incase they riot further due to the ill-will they have in all communities of North India.
What ever reasons the community who have spear headed the agitation,it is not at all a patriotic struggle or the struggle for their own causes, because their agitation is destructing the entire states properties and economy which are meant for all the people of the state.The violence imposed by the so-called agitators who are destructing the public properties should be handled with iron hand and they should be put behind bars and maxiumum punishment to be given to these leaders who are doing the nuisance to the entire country.They may get the help from outsiders or the parties or clients / underworld whose only aim to destroy the peace of the land which are prevailing in Indian States. Or they may be getting support from the political parties who are opposing the rule of BJP in the states. Whatever may be the cause, this type of destructive strikes should be fought with iron hand and we suggest Hon'ble Chief Minister of Rajasthan should take proper steps to maintain peace in the State with immediate effect. The leaders should be immediately arrested and charges of treason should be imposed on them. However,Govt.and all political parties should come forward with an IMMEDIATE SOLUTION on the entire reservation policies they are adopting at present and should have the guts to scrap this system and instead of this, NEW RESERVATION POLICY ON ECONOMIC BACKWARDNESS BASIS SHOULD BE STARTED FORTHWITH AND THAT IS THE ONLY WAY,WE REPEAT,THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO STREGTHEN INDIA'S INTEGR
indian politicians get elected by 'first past the post' system in which it is enough to get more votes than rest of your opponents to get elected, even if you have less than 50% of votes cast. the elected candidate does not need to have a broad based support. in such a situation, in many constituencies, even narrow but concentrated support of vote banks is enough to win a seat, and castes are such vote banks. these days more and more candidates are winning by getting caste support, therefore the castes have to be wooed over and all kinds of promises including reservation is made for them. caste politics dominate, ideology, developement, good governance suffers. under the garb of upliftment of the deprived, blatant caste politics is played by reservation policy, even the creamy layers and the rich from the backward classes displace the meritorius from other castes. but how far can we go? this shameless pandering policy is bound to fail as this leads to divisions, hatred amongst various communities. to stop this, we must have some other system for electing our representatives, it could be preferential voting, in which a candidate with more broad based support should win, or there should be proportional representations, which will avoid this skewed results, in which a party with 30% wins 80 seats, and one with 29% may win only seats. when vote banks win power, divisive politics will ruin the country, winnability will matter rather than ideology or development. this caste war is
