I think our grand parents did mistake.... they wasted their life against fighting with British to get freedom. Actually we are not matured enough to have freedom. We always need somebody to rule on us. I am just putting the words said by Winston Churchill after giving independence to India, he said that Indians will eat Indians" and yes Mr. Churchill was right ! !! ! !! ! We are doing the same.... dividing our country in different issue... somebody dividing us on basis of caste... someone one issue of BHUMIPUTRAs... and rest too many %u2026 Good keep it up %u2026 all credit goes to respected politicians.....one day again somebody will conquer us and will rule on us for 200 yrs... Then only we will realize the importance of freedom and unity...

This side of freedom
It is not surprising to hear such comments, but I have seen a bit of what it means to be on the other side of caste system and such a judgment is surely welcome. I have also seen it work powerfully in practice in TN - now there is hardly a difference between Open and OBC cut-offs for engineering and medical. I am assuming those who are writing these comments are like me, having benefitted from centuries of reservation policy thanks to case system and therefore very detached from caste issue - except in marriage when one surely looks at the caste.

Actually very right.. Here are the famous quotes.
A famous quote by Churchill in 1945 opposing the granting of Independence to India:
%u201CPower will go into the hands of rascals, rogues and freebooters Not a bottle of water or a loaf of bread will escape taxation. Only the air will be free and the blood of these hungry millions will be on the head of Attlee. These are men of straw of whom no trace will be found after a few years. They will fight among themselves and India will be lost in political squabbles.%u201D
