RE:Quota

This message is pathetic. Instead of looking forward, it looks back. The principle is eye for eye, hand for hand, etc.

Could there be a better policy than reservation?

But there has to be a time limit for it, as for anthing else. This was recognised even by the Constituent Assembly. Howver, to gain political and create a vote bank, our greatest politicians used the policy of DIVIDE & RULE of the Britishers.

Just imagine reservation by religion, caste and creed without improving the lot of 70% of the population.

A stage will come when the Forward castes will have to seek reservations and the Backwards will suffer the same fate as the forwards are now suffering.

Can this divide not be arrested? First improve the lot on the basis of gainful employment so that the family can form an educational base. For this, first improve the education and the general awareness and importance of education at primary levels.

Let us lose some vote banks by making education as criterion for voting instead of praising the un-educated and backward as a matured democracy, capable to elect educated.

LET MATURITY OF THE POLITICIAN be the first step to reservation.
