I was not born when, as literature says, the high caste rulers oppressed, rebuked, and castigated the low caste unfortunates. That it is still prevalent in some places in India, atleast proves that the literature was not completely incorrect. However,... Read The Article
Good point! But in this materialistic world (which lives only for today) who is going to buy it?

Politics is the name of the game. All I want to say is that it creates more avenues for people turning to OBC's/SC/ST's for the advantages it offers. You have clearly presented the history of how it has evolved. I go by your thoughts and I feel "OUR" time will also come.

Interesting "Karma" Insight applied to this whole discourse of backwardness with a historical context.
Perhaps for now all the general category people who will soon be in a minority need to go....find a place of solace and rest in peace for the verdict is out and the prophecy of fatalism has been made and is reiterated. The prophecy that is inevitable but consequential on the fate of mant of us.
Regret it not as says Guru Saurabh Saksena, rest your soul in peace, for it is a doing of your own karma in the past or so he would like us to believe!

Excellent article. I myself am waiting for IIM results and I have to pay fee at IIFT before 25th which otherwise will stand cancelled. Now if the IIM results don't come by then, I will be in trouble.

anti-human article. this article is justifying crime because in the past someone had oppressed. live-in present. this article is justifying mis-use of laws that is destroying indian family system. writer is not even aware that these laws are also against women. he will understand only when his own mother and sister will got jailed in false dowry case. media should be ashamed of supporting evil in the soociety.

No. No meritorious candidate is being denied a seat because of OBC reservation. They are only adding new seats. And it is true that most of the people who come under OBC are backward compared those who come under FCs. Now that SC kept out creamy layer, reservation can be effectively targetted.
Note: You can write really well. But writing something just because you can write well doesn't make sense. At lease make sure your content is correct from next time.

Are you sure its not our "fault"?? What are we doing to change the system? Are we even using our most potential weapon "the vote" ???

Well considering the government is yet to send my voter's id to me even after tons and tons of inquiries i really dont see when i would get to use this so called "vote" power. And even if we do have this power, who do we really vote for? Its more like choosing the best amongst the worst.
