Scaremongering!
by Gopal Krishna on Apr 12, 2008 09:18 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Reservation is a "prevelige", but a small "compensation" for the trauma and oppression communities have been subjected to for 2000 years. Even that is being snatched by using emotional blackmailing! Shame!

Your comment shows who is blackmailing. Merit is what that should count.

Please shed the isolationist view of just looking at merit, discounting the circumstances that let to the development of that merit.

I have numerous examples of poor rickshaw walla's son becoming IAS. If they can do despite abject poverty....why can't the not-so-poor hypocrite OBCs.

I don't think OBC people have that bad circumstances as SC/STs in our country that you CLAIM. People like way are always afraid of standing up....because you morally you can't....and always like a free ride.

Caste and Economics are two different dimensions so please stop mixing them. In the Indian system, people were oppressed and denied opportunities not on the basis of their economic condition, but on the basis of their caste.
