I have lived most of my life in cities and that might be one of the reasons for my bewilderment about the whole issue. I never was taught in my school or at home that we belonged to the so-called upper castes and hence were privileged. Nobody in my circle cared about somebody's caste. Only when I had to fill in applications for higher education that I realized that I had to compete in the Open Category. An acquaintance of mine from a well off family who scored 20 points less than me got into a premier educational institution while I had to contend with engineering in a not so great college. We have to become part of the solution and vow to not vote for any party that favors reservation in higher education but refuses to genuinely investigate the Pros and Cons of reservation.

For your kind information the head of Gujarat is an OBC! My my.He is so brahmin like, in his attitude towards the muslims.I do not enjoy bringing up this caste talk but the stereotyping by these brain washed brain dead people would leave no option,. I think people with 1/2 of a neurone (perhaps atrophied neurone) who depend on caste certificate even to stand on their own legs, can not think and its wrong to expect them to think.How do you get rid of this relentless unreasonable hatred? It will only consume you.Brahmins can not be wished away and banished from the country.The only way forward is for reconciliation.United we stand and divided we fall.

Thanks to what?? Reservation.Ahh that explains the one half neuronal explaination.Thanks not to hard work not to brain cells( as they dont exist for these 1/2 a neuronal fellows)not to merit.Above any thing else thanks to reservation.This is the mentality of those brain dead caste cretificate ( some one rightly called it as toilet tissue certificate) holders, who beget children thinking and holding those caste certificates. To every one who keeps on harping about abolition of caste, olease do understand that the government of India issues caste certificate in the name of various castes and there is a procedure involved in obtaining one,. You re Fc/OUC you will not ask for it as its useless as a used tiolet tissue.If you are SC/ST/Bc/MMBC?OBC etc you shall rever it and protect it and sanctfy it.Now tell me who is inferiro and who is asking for continuation of caste????
