Although the subject of reservation is very sensitive and touchy to both parties those who are in favour and to those against it, but still its not that big a thing to recall a partition of the nation. Dear sir at the onset I wouldlike you to mind ur language and not to use such inflamatory headings for ur article.
Dear sir dont try to malign the feelings of people and deeply understand the power of this platform which is called internet. Try to use ur pen for constructive thoughts especially conidering the fact that those who are protesting against it are young blood of our country.
At last I would like to tell u one thing. The partition which really took place must have taken birth as a thought in someone's mind first and executed later on the ground. Dear friend if at all we have to give some thought to people why not they be positive and sound the same?

What is there to be positive about?
The author is perfectly right. Till today, I did not know or bother what was the caste of my collegue, classmate or friend. Now, when I see entrance exams lists, I will see two sections, clearly marking who came in through quota and who did so on merit. The person's caste will be there for all to see. And I wil know, and be deeply aware , that the person who I shared my meals with is an OBC with 50% marks who was given things on a platter, when many of my deserving friends perhaps committed suicide though they got 80% marks, simply because of the misfortune of their birth in a non SC/ST/OBC family.
forget Brahmins, Dalits, Bhumihars, Harijans, Kayasthas...India is going to have just two castes now- the quota priviledged and the slogging meritocrat.

yes Rajesh, what you are saying is true, its all crap. They haven't done anything and neither would they do anything. Its just another round table bullshit. Anyways no five points are going to solve the issue unless people in general are taken into account.
The question of 'Making center and state relations strong' when people question their identity as being Indians, does not arise at all. There's no point in having a state with people who are totally anti-Indian.
Better come up with a different plan or dont go to kashmir!!
