I am from UP and I belong to the forward class and the things is, I plan to vote for BSP, all other parties are completely in support of large scale reservations in public and private institutions, as far as forward and backward are concerned, there is no forward and backward,everyone is equal, if history has been unjust to particular communities, it is for us the forward classes to educate those from so called backward classes and support them if and if reservation is removed, we should not hesitate to support SC/ST's/OBC's and minorities if the reservation policy is nullified, actually it had to end in the year 2000 as per constitution and that did not happen,thanks to Vajpayee who all of a sudden increased the time-frame when it was about to end. Every person from the forward community if he practices the caste system should end doing so and if reservations are removed it is upto us then to educate poor people and pool up our excess resources to make them stand equal to us so that some of the horrible mistakes of the past can go to the graveyard. But if reservation remains to hell with it!!!! Reservation is like poison dividing people on the basis of communities and at least 2-3% of the GDP should be invested in educating all individuals and private parties including affluent people should come out to support the poor. as far as what someone out here said 85% are OBC's and 20% Forward Classes and we will lose out because OBC's will see to it that we do, weel 85% and 20% makes 105% and there is no such thing as 105% , see this is what reservation gives you , no proper education and no equality, in fact you still have to pay the high fees once you enter a university through reservation. As far as one does not notice your arithmetics, the fact is why did Congress lose in Uttarakhand and Punjab? well because yours as well as the Congress's calculations were wrong based on 1931 census, VP singh from being a Prime Minister reached the zero level and has to start again fresh from western UP, that's what happen to those who bring about reservations. Perhaps if this continues we will all see new parties and all the current political parties will become defunct because of their policies. The fact is what the politicians are doing, they are trying to bring about a divide and rule policy similar to the ones you guys mention, the ones present in history, every forward class student in universities will now not support his fellow mates when he will know which community they belong to,the nation is being divided on basis of communities and creating suspicion amongst them when it is time to bring equality and end poverty in this country. Reservation in fact brings poverty, you will still have to pay the high fees once you get in through reservation into a prestigious university. Equality is the main thing not reservation,that's inequality.I have nothing against any community, I know no community asks for it, the politicians hurl it down their throats and if someone is getting reservation then it's the best thing, how can you refuse? if forward classes would have been given reservation they wouldn't have refused either, the politicians gave a gift and you got to accept, but reservation policy this way is flawed and creates hostilities amongst friends and countrymen. All people from affluent classes support those who are economically and socially backward and by doing so uplift them but if you support them, see to it that you give them equality and tell them not to go through reservation and see to it that they are meritorious enough that they don't need it and get through without it-create a connection rather than foster suspicion, let's not play in the hands of politicians.If more and more people come out and start helping others the politicians will turn out to be mere fools.
