I wonder I am living in a secular country. Friends it is the 21st century now, but things are still like these were. Still so many innocent people being killed by so called high castes, so many opressed, so many insulted. My brothers we are still slaves in this country. Only a bunch of Hindus have enjoyed the fruits of freedom. Its for them the 15th August 1947 a independence day, for us the struggle has yet to be started.
Friends what else can be the injustice that out of 100 childern who go for primary only 30 of the opressed classes make it to the higher secondary. After that only 10 are left for senior seconadry. Only 5 are left for higher studies. Now where is that big filter coming from. We just wonder where those childern have gone. Simply a few may be driving ricshaws, few may be labourers for a construction company so and so.
Is it that these childern are dumb? No way. There are many reasons for thses drop outs. These people do not have even the basic facilities at home. Poverty is hereditary to them.
They do not get quality education. And the age long partiality in schools by the teachers is another reason. I still remember my college days where my teacher did not tell me to prepare for a competitive exam for engineering entrance as he knew that I was lower cast. Later I came to know the training he was giving to his specials students.
Well that is a one case. There are so many other factors.
If one looks at the media, the whole system looks biased. Media will highlight only that news that will benifit the high castes. Like when you a news against reservation it will be highligted again and again. That will be the headline all the time. On the other hand any protest or march in favour of reservation will be a fus. That news will be somewhere in the sliding bar or simply it will not be there.
It is not only the electronic media but the whole bunch of Indian Newspapers are an example. At the times of crisis they will always be going in favour of high castes. So all my friends try not to buy the newspapers like "Times of India", "Hindustan Times etc etc". Its you people who are finacially helping these people. Instead buy those newspapers that represent your voice.
Dont feel shy when sombody comments upon you, saying you are inferior and you are there where you are because of reservation. Just look at the history and you will see these people were getting a 100% reservation at the hands of corrupt rulers.
Now the question is how that gap of centuries can be compensated by a bit of fraction of power.
I say give equal opportunity to all the childern. Give them same facilities and then you compete with them. No need for reservation will then be there and you people will nowhere be there.

dear friend dont get emotional. the whole debate is about the best way of upliftment.
think last 60years of reservation of SC and ST and still the most illitrate people are from the same SC /ST class. how long you will continue.
OBC quota is started from today how many years you want it tobe in place.
listen friend when we start a factory we know how much time it will take to bulid the infrastructure. what will be product and howthat will be marketed and how much profit we will get.
in case nothing come out factory runs in losses what is the solution. either change the policy or stop the factory.
why these politician are not talking about what happened in past 60 years that they need to extend SC ST quota every time which meant for 10 years.
why after 60 years of freedom OBC want reservation. do you think there will be no more demand for this kind of reservation anymore.
history is suggestive that one mistake lead to grave consequences.
its your and mine india, we are here to pay taxes for treatment of these politician in USA. how can you forget murasoli maran story.
my question is do whatver forthe upliftment of OBC but it should be very clearly planned and executed. not like data based on census of 1931

You don't understand the truth. None of the political parties are on your side. Judiciary is not on your side. 90% of Indians are not on your side.
