caste discrimination
by sunil on May 19, 2006 10:53 AM

I have suffered a lot based on this casteism.
I am from OPEN(GENERAL) category.
I had secured 87.33% in SSC(Mumbai)....PCM=289, but due to castes, and reservation , i could not get admission in good colleges.
Almost half of the total seats were reserved for CASTE(SC/ST/VJ/NT/OBC), remaining for TEACHERS son,DEFENCE,SPORTS,FREEDOM FIGHTERS children, GOVT EMPLOYEES children,etc.
I could see students from caste category who got admission even at aggregate of 50% , whereas the GENERAL category list closed at 87.00 % .
Is'nt this biasing and injustice to students from general category.
Also reserved students were to pay less fees and get reward if they pass the exams, but there is no such thinks for students of open category.

This is absolutely weird and disgusting.
people are divided among thenselves.
This will create be dangerous in near future.
