Mr Sengupta is a nothing but a bigoted person and away from reality of this country. Its just fashionable to criticize secularism and he is towing the same line. Why this tirade against V.P. Singh? He is a courageous person who is truely secular. He tried to bring in revolution in this country by enpowering the masses which were dominated by upper caste minority. Mr. Sengupta please note that every citizen needs a stake in the resources and wealth of this country. Every community has aspirations to grow and have fare share in higher education, well paying jobs and high standard of living. Don't play the game of merit. The upper caste people had reservation on resources and wealth of this country for 3000 years. If they had merit the Steam Engine would have first run in India not in Britain. This country was divided in more than 6000 castes 3000 years before Mandal commission. Mr Sengupta is out of his mind when he says that V.P. Singh give strength to caste system. This propoganda is done by people who think only they have right to better life and education than others.
