Oh! This horrible fixation with caste and religion

Muslim President. Sikh PM. Dalit CM. Brahmin mascot. Rediff! Please grow up. This goes against all canons of democracy.

Anand - being a brahmin, you should be proud that Mayawati is a clever person to realise that she needs upper caste(brahmin) in her cabinet to run the government...
Ultimately, by creating the caste system for vote banks, an upper caste only will have to take decisions to bring upthe socially backward...
let us not deny the facts...truth prevail

Guys. The wholev rationale for reservation is the untouchability and attrocities faced by Dalits. Let us put an end to it and the rationale for quota will also disappear. Then our campaign aaginst reservation will have more credibility.

Mr. Iyer... insofar as we have the current set of politicians/ministers, your wishlist would remain an unrealisable dream....
when there is no caste, untouchability, reservations...then what do the politicians do for a living..how would the devide the votes?

Well. Perhaps they will have to learn new words like "development", "roads", "electricity". So, politics and dermocarcy will survive. We Indians r creative.

these are all fine, but the stupid thing is the bloody quota system. scrap quota system and make the indians unique. don\'t separate indians by using quota.
