First tell us what is your stand. Do you favour or oppose reservations. You tell us that you succeeded without any help. Now why are you so angry with people who are saying same thing. Merit does not need any qouta/reservation to emerge winner!

Dear Mr vijay, As per your message you seem to have come upfrom a good background with uncles as enginners atc Then why the hell you require reservation. you can afford to go to college,eat thrice a day, house to live in. then why reservations be given on caste basis read the comments of Sampitroda an obc himself see what he says being the head of knowledge comission. Read comments from statisticians and learned people from various backgrounds then you realise who dirty are ou politicians. If you still say yes,they we should go for partition of country based on caste.first was on religion

I proud of on me as I succeded in my life without any help (reservation). ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ even i am proud of you. but will you accept a 40% OBC guy enjoy the same position as you ??
I have an example of my own family which is lower middle class. however there are five engineers, one chartered account, one bank manager two gazetted government officers and many more. All this achieved by my family without any reservation in open competition. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Do you still want your children and their children to enjoy the reservations....?

My dear Vijay, I can very well empathise with your feelings and there is some truth in what you say. Wisdom is not the privilege of the so-called FCs or any community But while approaching the issue emotionally, you have missed out on something: The problem of BCs and OBCs is not higher education but primary education. So schools at the village level will have to be given top priority by the Government for providing the infrastructure, teaching staff and equipment and acessories.
I appreciate your dignity and uprightness in not claiming any concession under reservations. But yours is an exception and not a rule. Please tell me how many OBCs and BCs have this approach.
Do you see the big divide and heartburn this policy has created between people? That's the issue that needs to be addressed. Blaming the Hindu society or the Brahmins for the caste divisions is hackneyed technique that we should overcome. We need to re-integrate these long neglected segments into the mainstream. And that is not possible by increasing the quota!
