Hence it is imperative to maintain 'cultural' aka 'caste' diversity in all temples in India.
Government of India should implement 'reservations' in all Indian temples as per the 'caste' census in India.
1. 52% of all temple staff including Pujaris/Priests should be from OBC communities. 2. 29% temple staff including Pujaris/Priests should be from Dalits and Tribals. 3. Remaining all temple staff including Pujaris/Priests should be from other castes.
Otherwise India might disintegrate into 500 independent states as in pre-BristishRaj.

Try this: All church fathers should be Brahmins. All Mosque imams should be Christians. All Hindu Temples should be run by OBCs/SCs/STs and DMK/Dk fellows who do not believe in God in public but thievishly go to temples or worship at home. All this will bring about national and communal harmony
this country has gone to dogs, you cant do anything here, Once upon a time there was a country known as India & now this country has been divided into 15 countrues.

@mindless indian lol,i need to laugh at you buddy!!you seem to be a joker to me.anyways let me tell you it was the labour party which came into power.which led them to make not only but all their colonies independent .since india was the biggest of all the colonies ,so it was their thought to leave india first and then leave other countries like srilanka,burma etc.and within few years .almost all their colonies got independent,India although was the first one to get independence but it was nt because of gandhi.one more thing after WW2 they lost their superpower status.so to avoid further loss .they thought that it would be best to leave imperialism. now tell me where has gandhi come from je is not even a big picture

No doubt about his leadership quality, but he himself was confused. India's misfortune started when Neheru became PM supported by Gandhiji.......I feel that was the biggest blunder of Gandhiji.

German had scientific base long before world war. Remember Bayer's Asprin which american company stole from bayer after world war II. They used to manufacture their own plane,automobile, tank and other hardware. After world war II, they build on that base.
Unlike India where is still lack of primary education amongh its people. Common man in those days didn't knew whats going on. Only previleged Class, who were rich and can send their children to foriegn country could relise that britisher are looting India with India's so called kings. All important leader before 1947 were from rich educated class like Ghandhi, Nehru, Lala Lajpat Rai, Bal etc.

IN BRITSH TIMES NONE FROM DALITS WAS EVER MADE RAIBAHADUR ONLY UPPER CASTES WERE MADE RAIBAHADUR!THESE UPPER CASTES WERE LICKING THE BOOTS OF MUGHALS AND THEN BRITISH!
Its too bad that we still think in terms of OBC, General, SBC,SEBC etc etc... If keeping quotas are necessary to lift up India, then please see to it that quotas are being used as it should be. Quota is there to give more chances to quota holders. They are not meant to produce weak doctors, engineers etc..
Along with quota rule, a rule which prohibits admission to quota seats if the candidate has secured less than 80% marks with respect to the marks obtained by the last general quota candidate - can work wonders. Keep the quota seats empty if there are no satisfying candidates. But please do not do unjustice to general quota candidates.
I had been through this back in 2000. I secured 84% marks in 12th science and was denied admission in IT, while my friend from SEBC category got in IT, inspite of securing 62%. Isn't it unfair ???

who is thrisa.?i dont know him but yes one thing is for sure he can certainly be better than this gandhi.
The UPA government and in particular the idiot HRD minister has diluted the standard of IIT JEE by converting it to pure objective under the pretext of making it less stressful for IIT aspirants. To add to the dilution they have started to set up some new IITs in some undeseving states like Andhra Pradesh where students are generally cramsters without having strong fundamentals. Also these new IITs are going to bring down the standards of IITs quite tangibly. Because new IITs do not have proper infrastructure nor competent faculty. No doubt the present IIT directors donot want the IIT tag to these new IITs. But the CM of Andhra Pradesh wants to start the functioning of the shadow IIT right this year. The final nail on the coffin is the OBC reservation. Now the IITs are never going to be same again. As an IIT B.Tech I strongly condemn this degradation of IIT. Any way IIT is not for all and sundry. It is not like the Garib Rath of Lalu. Only the students having desired level of competence and sound fundamentals should be admitted to IITs irrespective of caste, creed, religion,colour etc. There must not be any sort of reservation in IITs. Otherwise Rediff will be writing the obituary of IITs a few years from now. S.S. Rajguru

In one of the news item recently, we got to know that people scoring 150 in IITJEE got through while people scoring 250 could not!
Somebody got this data through RTI and the news came in TOI / HT.
So I am not so sure if all IITians are as brilliant as we think them to be.
Reservation is like a punishment to General Category and such punishment is given to him for the act of his forefathers.If it is justice than what is unjustice?
he was the biggest looser of all time. Had no guts that;s why came up with this Ahimsa nonsense. It is because of him India did not get the independence in early 1900. He was the one who opposed freedom fighters like Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekar Azad. If he was not in India we would have to got the independece much earlier. Brits dint free india because of him, they left the country due to world war 2, they were not able to manage their resources & had to leave almost all the big colonies. His contribution was NIL

Nehru instead of nationalising the assets of britishers in India, he gave them ownership which worth thousands of crores but was seen by many people and abuse gandhi only for 44 crores of rupees.

I think all the 5 slots should go to MK Gandhi. He fasted to force India to give 55 crores to Pakistan that too when they were attacking Kashmir. He is the curse of the nation. Godse did the right thing. I salute Nathuram.
Shame on the politicians in power!!! as though they have not wreaked enough havoc on this country already...
how i pray that their offsprings live to see the day when they would be deprived of everything they have and would ever need!
perhaps, politicians are a backward minority caste in themselves and we now need to reserve some seats for them everywhere. what ever is left of the unreserved quota should go them.

Well so dont just keep posting posts on Rediff. The next election give you legs the trouble to go and stand in the que to VOTE
One may fault Indira Gandhi on several counts but in her passionate commitment to preserve the integrity of the nation she was matchless and unimpeachable. She instinctively knew that implementing the recommendations of the Mandal Commission would deeply divide this country on the caste basis that may even threaten its unity. She, therefore, consigned the Mandal report to the dustbin. It would have remained there forever had not VP Singh dusted it out and gave it a new lease of life to don the mantle of the %u2018messiah of the backward class%u2019. The open confrontation we see now between the political class and the judiciary is threatening to blow up into a constitutional crisis over the OBC quota issue. The social turmoil it has unleashed has vindicated the stand taken by Indira Gandhi on this issue. If the Congress party cherishes the ideals for which Indira Gandhi stood, it should desist from lending support to the OBC reservation act, irrespective of its impact on its electoral prospects.
