Hi,its ME AGAIN!!!!
Arjun Singh to Bush - "We are sending Indians to the MOON next year".
Bush - "Wow!!!!How many"??
Arjun Singh - "100.........>>25 - OBC, 25 - SC, 20 - ST, 5 - HANDICAPPED, 5 - Sports Persons, 5 - Terrorist Affected, 5 - Kashmiri Migrants, 9 - Politicians, and if possible, 1 - ASTRONAUT."
The pledge to implement new quotas for the minority block appears to have given a fresh lease of life to protests across the country with students intensifying anti -quota campaigns to start what can be aptly called as "THE CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE MOVEMENT OF 2006".
HUNGER STRIKES by the MED SCHOOL AND ENGINEERING STUDENTS along with peaceful rallies for protest with black bands across their arms,the student brigade is gaining momentum.The impact of MANDAL II is enormous.
All major hospitals,dispensaries,pathology labs and private hospitals have been shut down across Gujarat. Students in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bhopal, Gujarat etc. are protesting against the vicious social discrimination which marrs the system of EQUALITY on the basis of MERIT.
Several people i know,are protesting against MANDAL II.I met my senior- Chaitanya Shukla,who is a medical student at V.S. Hospital urging us to join a peaceful protest march with candles, white clothes and black ribbons/bands starting at Vastrapur Lake.
My fellow students from my dear school - S.N.K had also joined that particular protest march.It had students from B.J MEDICAL COLLEGE,V.S And other medical and dental colleges,L.D engineering college and the IIMA.
My net buddy from IIT POWAI,MUMBAI - Punit Sinha is also on Hunger Strike as a reaction to MANDAL II.
Oh!!!!By the way, Whats with this latest bombshell dropped by the UPA government>>>>RESERVATION????
This in itself has become the current obsession of the youth who are trying to protest against all odds posed by our blessed government that upholds the values of DEMOCRACY-
"A GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE AND OF THE PEOPLE".
But does it include all kinds of people or will there be a reservation imposed on democracy itself??
I cannot really say for sure now with the kind of petty politics being played by the central authority.
By the way,what is this big hue n cry about reservation all about????
> This is about the frustration of watching a donkey among horses winning the race coz he is wearing skates.
> This is about the frustration of the Finance Minister's mighty hand prodding into my wallet to whisk away my hard earned money to give me INCOMPETANT DOCTORS to bring my life to risk at times,ENGINEERS which bring me a shiver of scare when i travel on a rail bridge,tobacco chewing babus asking for a bribe of pan -masala packets!!!!
> This is about the pain of watching my son ( INEXISTANT AS OF NOW ) cry the whole night coz someone else who is less deserving just snatched his seat in some engineering college somewhere.
> This is about the miserable helplessness of watching someone getting down from the car and paying four times less of the college fees as the one who rides a bicycle for 10km,coz he cant even afford the bus daily.
> This is about getting beaten up in the college hostel and seal your lips,tie your hands and swallow your anger because you need the job on the basis of this college degree and HE DOESN'T.HE HAS SOME CHAIR READY FOR HIS HIGHNESS IN SOME GOVT.OFFICE TO COME AND REST HIS BOTTOM FOR LIFE!!!!
> This is about the MERCILESS ACTIONS OF THE BLIND,DEAF AND DUMB POLITICIANS,who will never listen to ones who dont seem to be a vote bank to them....who know that their children will not need to fight for a seat in ANY GREAT INSTITUTE coz there are colleges in THE STATES,CANADA,RUSSIA ,U.K AND AUSTRALIA!!!!!!!!!!!!
> This is about the sheer stupidity of the policy makers who think they will end all discrimination by bringing up a wall of hatred between castes.
> This is about those students who work very hard throughout the year to secure dream marks and percentages and yet don't end up in the colleges of their choice because of others who are priviledged to get in without merit.
> This is about the general category which has become the NEW MINORITY!!!!
> This is about the ridiculous deeds of certain backward class leaders,who are out to prove that THOSE PEOPLE ARE NOT CAPABLE OF EARNING BREAD FOR THEMSELVES AND SO,THE GOVT.SHOULD SNATCH A FEW PIECES FROM OTHERS AND THROW AT THEM.THEY COME OUT PROUDLY IN PRO QUOTA RALLIES AND SEEM TO ANNOUNCE>>>>
"WE WANT THIS DISCRIMINATION,WE ARE NOT CAPABLE PEOPLE AND WE HAVE TO SURVIVE ON THE MERCY OF OTHERS"!!!!
WHY ON EARTH DON'T THEY BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE THE SAME HUMAN SPECIES WITH SIMILAR BRAINS????
HAVE THEY ALL FALLEN PREY TO A MAJOR INFERIORITY COMPLEX????
and THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION IS>>>>IF THE ANSWERS TO THE ABOVE QUESTIONS ARE YES,THEN ARE WE HAPPY ABOUT THAT????
I consider Reservation on any basis - be it caste, creed, religion, sex or any other parameter as a CLEAR BREECH OF DEMOCRACY and SECULARISM.
INDIA has been DIVIDED ONCE AGAIN -- This time by its own government.It is high time that we all realise this and work together for a progressive India.
All my fellow Indians, it is time to raise a United voice against this tyrranic decision of Caste based Reservations. At this Moment, I take the pledge of dedication to the service of India and her people and to a larger cause of EQUALITY.To the people of India, it is an appeal to join hands with faith and confidence in this great quest for justice.
AND IF U STILL DON'T GET WHAT THIS HOO - HAA IS ALL ABOUT....
ITS NOT JUST ABOUT RESERVATION>>>>ITS A FIGHT AGAINST INJUSTICE!!!!
