1. You guys are not on strike because you are the ones getting free lunches at their expense. It is not something to be proud of. 2. Reservations are not a good thing, whatever the caste. So, it is a good thig that the mgmt and media are against it. It is not because of their being upper caste or whatever. It is because of their realising what the doctor's profession is which you still ahven't realised even after coming to AIIMS. 3. >>instead of coming out in favour of the marginalised castes and deprived students.<< What do you mean? If you are deprived, how did you buy costly books and reach AIIMS? What are you marginalised at? How is reservation 'in favour' of these classes? 4. Stop privatisation of Higher Education? Why? When the governemnt cannot provide enough facilities? 5. Down with upper caste chauvinism? Why don't you go to a village where this chauvinism exists and say it there instead of in AIIMS where people have studied and qualified? 6. Merit equal to capitation fees plus NRI quota? They still have to score the minimum marks to enter the institutes as well as to become doctors / engineers. The minimum is not reduced for them. and the money helps build infrastructure.
