Caste name to be removed from individual name
by Venu K on Jun 09, 2006 02:00 PM

A good one. I too is an OBC but even when I have not availed the OBC reservation for my job, some of my friends (painful to talk about caste - who belong to forward caste) feel that I have got job on OBC quota. In fact many of then does not know that OBC reservation in jobs started may be few years back. THe worst thing is some of the people who never performed better then me in the acadamic side - the yardstick on which merit is measured - feel that I got seat because of being an OBC - when the fact is that I have not availed my OBC card.

I fully agree that we does not have to use OBC clutches. But if this country has improve and not to be misused by the politicans - it is time for the so called forward caste in particular and for everyone to shead the caste identity.

Forward caste should stop using the caste as a social status. First thing what they can do is to remove the caste name from the individual name.

Unfortunetly the quota system is all the time created in this country by the forward caste MPs ( please remember that at any time till now the majority of the MP's are from the forward caste) to see that they get elected by politically missing using their power.
